Navarro Ridge and Whitesboro Grange

"Since I'd read Walden in high school, I had been haunted by Thoreau's charge that when I came to die, I might discover that I had not lived.  If I ran a marathon, I thought, I will have lived.  I also thought I might die." -- Benjamin Cheever, Strides

This morning wasn't quite the "spring-like" morning I was hoping for on Navarro Ridge.  I guess that even though the calendar says that it is Spring, not everything changes all at once.  There weren't the wildflowers that I was hoping for but a few are starting to bloom.  John got a couple of nice daffodil photos and I'l post them next week.  For today, I thank John for these three nice pictures:

Maybe someday Roger will teach me how to compose these
blogs so that I can put photos and text where I want and not
where "blogger.com" wants things.  I'm sorry for the poor
layout and blank space everywhere.

 It was 38 degrees with clear blue skies, when we started at 8:00 this morning.  A slight breeze kind of hurt my hands and ears.  It was fun running though, as we were able to meet and talk with a new runner, Jan.  She lives locally and hopefully will be returning regularly.  Others present:  Bob, John, Fran, Nancy B., Rick, Donna, Zelda, Toni, Joe, Nancy T, Roger, Nancy and Tom (14).




Still a little frosty-  J. Loomis





Navarro Ridge is such a pretty road.  Maybe we'll try it again next month.  Thanks to those that said we haven't been going there enough.

I'll have to figure out a ballot initiative or something, a way that everyone can have a chance to vote for Bob to blog more often.  My asking for a raised hand or saying "aye" didn't work out too well.
