Walking...America's New Favorite Pass Time


Have you noticed? People are walking everywhere!

We have always been walkers in our family. We take daily walks with Jemma. We take hikes in metroparks. Sometimes, we just walk the neighborhood to get our daily steps in.

But lately? COVID has folks who've been cooped up too long lacing up their sneakers and hitting the sidewalks. Some days, it's even hard to socially distance because there are so many neighbors out walking!


It was a beautiful sunny day yesterday. We decided to take a country drive and find some new walking trails.


Farms and fields.



Ponds and vernal pools filled with croaking frogs and spring peepers.



A change of scenery really helps.


Are you walking more these days?

  1. We live in a walking neighborhood and with the weather warming the streets are busier. Thankfully when we can't get out to trails as many are state/federal park trails that are closed we have quiet streets and a school track down the street. Jim's goal is to beat the steps he took a week ago which becomes a good goal.
