sunday walking in the forest

it was such a nice sunny day today and i'd done nothing all day except the laundry and the dishes. robert is away this weekend, painting the walls of remco's new apartment.

after lunch, i curled on the sofa, basking in the sunshine, with a cup of tea. so when michaelmsg'd me to ask whether i wanted to go for a walk in the forest, i jumped at the chance. i went with michael, gwen, and a bundled up little milo in his off-road pram, to the wooded area south of the city, to one of the trails michael and i used to mountainbike through.

milo slept all the way through our walk, which made me think he was on valium, because the path was so bumpy. it was sunny and the frozen water surface was thawing. i was wondering when it would get frozen enough so we can start skating on the water. you can see the icy surface in the background of this picture.

the weather had turned brisk in the afternoon, our breath came out in puffs and the soil was muddy from the previous evening's rain, but it was good to walk and talk with michael and gwen and breathe some fresh air.

i took some photos of them together, as a family. michael is hoping to use those photos on the christmas cards he's sending out this week. *dear mike, i hope i get one in the mail even though we live in the same building*

Was nice, wasn't it?
I'll make you a private space on my Virtual drive to store the pics, than you get the card...

Gotta go now, have to give Milo his valium;-)

yasmina says: thanks again for taking us, mike. the images i burned onto a CD for you already. i'll pop it in your mailbox.

yasmina says: well, it was cold in the forest, but when you're walking, you don't feel the cold so much.
