The Bearable Lightness of Being!

July 3, 2010 - Sunny - hot and no responsibilities...

This morning I wasted time before my computer and felt no guilt for quite a while.  That didn't last however. I drove in to Milton to get an overdue oil change - (not exciting but better than staying home and housecleaning!)  Something accomplished!  Yeah me!  I kind of had it in the back of my mind to wander up the escarpment and check out Crawford Lake but not thinking about lunch when I left, I had to stop for food and water.  A simple order of Greek salad and soda water at the Ivy Arms took a half hour to arrive but sitting in the sun with a good book, I had the patience of Job.  It felt like my teen years when I would ditch school and wander around the city - in and out of book stores and museums, have lunch on my own and go ice skating!

Since I'd blown my time budget I just had a roam around Milton.  I drifted along the old heritage streets - homes of the original settlers, now occupied by owners devoted to preserving the character of the past.  I am dying to photograph them but refrain from it until I have a camera to do them justice!  I did photograph the wooded pathway I eventually came to though...
