fall day

It's not every day that it is sunny and bright on an October morning in Bellevue. It is not every day that my husband is working at home. It is not everyday that I get the overwhelming need to go on a long walk. It is not everyday that Zara is willing to sit in the stroller. But today (10.13.2011) was the day when all these were true. Zara, Jamie and I took a long, round-about, meandering walk to the library. We avoided the direct route because a) it was such a gorgeous day b) for the better part the direct route there is no sidewalk just a wide shoulder on a busy street. c) Zara sometimes insists on walking and it is nervewracking to walk on this street without her sitting in the stroller.
