Walking



I have taken up a new hobby that I hope will become a new habit.  Walking.  Most mornings I have gotten up before the children get up and go for a walk around our neighborhood.  Depending on how early one gets up, you can see folks going to work, others out walking or jogging, or see and hear the wonder that is lawn sprinklers.



Yes, I'm a dork, but having installed/automatic lawn sprinklers is such an exciting and new thing for me.  Everyone has them.  Including me!  They are fed through the local canal systems that also help hydrate the local farms.  So stinkin' cool.  The best is to hear them when they first come on.  (Made me jump out of my skin the first time I heard it late at night.  Sounds like a bunch of hissing snakes!!!)

Anyway, they are fun to walk through when it's hot, or jump over when it's not.

The best are the rogue sprinklers.  (That's my name for them.)  The ones that don't work right.  Some look like miniature water falls.  Others shoot straight up.  So fascinating!
(Can anyone tell that I have no friends & no job & spend tooooooo much time with children?????)
