birds of a feather.

ok, now i promised a long and entertaining post today. i'm not sure i'll pull through, but i'll throw in a bunch of pictures so it looks long... :-)

i'm in between rotations now. 4 more weeks down. it's amazing how quickly the 4 week blocks fly. i spend the 1st week of every rotation hating it, thinking it's going to be the longest 4 weeks ever, the next two weeks thinking, "hey, this isn't THAT bad..." and the 4th week dreading the end of the week and the awkward here's-my-evaluation and will-you-write-me-a-letter-of-recommendation conversations and the fact that the following week is another week 1.

anyway, this morning, i thought i'd take myself out for a walk. thinking it would feel good to get outside, i went to a park instead of the Y. ok, it was cold, but entertaining enough. i'm not sure how long the trail was, but i was out for a couple hours.



i've never seen a sign like this before, but thought it was pretty interesting.


this bird was the first of many that i saw. it was SO bright red and beautiful.

this was the only mile marker sign i saw, and i'm pretty sure i went well over a couple miles, so i'm not sure what the sign was marking.

one of these things is not like the other... :-)


i'm wondering who this sign is warning. the birds? "hey guys - don't nose dive into the path, it'd hurt!"


these birds were very chatty.


i swear i saw these ducks three different times along the trail, but i'm not sure it was possible. i know that they were the same ducks at least two of the times, but the third time i truly believe it must have been the twin ducks of these ducks.


the tandem bikers. they were cute. i saw them a couple of times.


a couple of geese (i think you can only see one of them in this picture.)

a REALLY old bike. REALLY old.

me...

...and my shadow

ahh... a welcome site...


inside my car... :-) instant smile. hot T has a picture of a cute baby on his dash, and i thought it was a great idea. (my cute baby picture is cuter than his cute baby picture...)

what a great weekend home! the trip was made easier by a few books on cd that i practically had to steal from the davenport public library. don't worry, i did convince them to give me a library card, but it was NOT an easy feat. the books made time pass and the drive almost pleasant. if gas weren't so expensive and i could have every friday off, i'd go home EVERY weekend! wouldn't THAT be fun.

devastation.

i realized this week that i've lost something very dear to me. since the accident and the pinning of my great toe, i no longer have the monkey grasp ability in my right foot that has gotten me through life thus far. this calls for some serious physical therapy.
