Frequently Kaia and I do loops in the cemetery. Usually it's just Kaia and I, and the deceased. Today a loop was interrupted by longtime friends, two local and two from out of state. The ensuing conversation made the walk more enjoyable. One of the gifts of old age is longtime friends. Even as one of the downsides of old age is the death of other longtime friends. Several with whom I maintained connection via the phone have died.
Other than the agreeable conversation the cemetery is now a quiet place. The myriad birds that enjoy the mature evergreen trees spring and summer have departed for warmer climes. Mourning doves seem to be all that remain. It's a good place to walk, four loops equal a mile, and Kaia spends most of her time looking for rabbits in the trees. She sure loves to run!
Takk for alt,
