I discovered that I could run a little over nine miles for the first time in several weeks and still feel pretty strong at the end. And I discovered how much fun it is to get off the beaten track, as Bob K. and I ran a couple of extra miles up Holt Knob and around Holt Circle and back. I discovered that his daughter will begin a new job Monday. And I discovered dozens of other interesting details about the friends I ran with. I hope Tanya has a good time horseback riding! I discovered that I really don't care what time our Club members choose to run in the afternoon.
This morning we got in our Mini and took a trip down to the Nacoochee Valley in Northern Georgia to ramble just a little. I discovered that it is possible to wander out into a beautiful and worshipful Sunday morning simply enjoying being out of doors. We stopped at one of our favorite places, the Sautee Store, and stocked up on Farmers Cheese.
I discovered that it was a wonderful day to simply enjoy the daffodils along the way, the sweet sweet sun, and the good company of Martha:
We discovered a great place to hike, too - Anna Ruby Falls, which you reach by driving through Unicoi State Park just past Helen. The paved trail is short but steep, but the double-waterfall is well worth the hike:
And this evening, as I look out my window tonight at nearly 8:00 p.m. and still see light in the western sky, that I discovered that despite the ridiculous custom of Daylight Saving Time that nobody seems to like, I do enjoy immensely this extra little bit of light in the evening, especially when it is becoming warmer and Spring is drawing just a little bit closer, the long shadows lingering in the cool of the evening.
