An Autumn walk

Dear Steemit Friends:

It is a beautiful morning. The sun has already come out and shines with all its intensity; There is a slight breeze and a pleasant aroma in the air. We just arrived from a short walk. This is the third consecutive morning that we do this: yesterday and Friday we turned the block, first we walked east, then we turned south for a block, then west, north and east again and we arrived at the house that It is in the middle of the block. Take nine or ten minutes. The morning was so splendid that I wanted to do something different, I extended the walk a little.

Each block is very different. In the south-west corner of the first street and the third street, there are live fences that grow from the edge of the sidewalk just at the top where the protruding part of the wheelchair ramp begins. It smells like autumn.

The next block has a completely different climate. There are plants on each side of the sidewalk - trees and ferns, we stop to cross, we see that no cars come near, we advance and we get to the other side and after some steps we are on the edge of the sidewalk to reach the road that divides the block in two directions, one east and the other west. Unlike the road that goes on the east side of our house, this road is paved.

The next block does not simply have a different climate again; It is a different world. The whole block from its beginning to where it ends is occupied by an immense house with an immense plot of land, with a brick / iron wall / fence that adjoins the sidewalk and is on a small hill. (Again) there is no stop before the edge of the sidewalk in the south-west corner and you have to take two more steps to get on the sidewalk after reaching the edge; the first one at a more or less complicated distance from the corner, approximately one and a half steps. The other side of the street is even worse, the terrain is quite high and there is no sidewalk. Behind a large fence there are two dogs that throw a furious bark. One of the dogs seems to be quite large and has a great bark and a hoarse growl; the other one seems to be smaller, barks with a sharp tone and runs more frantically for there and here. They follow us all the way until we pass the house, until they reach the last corner of their yard. So that's what we did.

I love that walk. It's a great walk: each block is different, with different aromas, different textures under the feet, different patches of light and shadow, different sounds. Not only is each block different, but each trip is different too. As the saying goes, you can not bathe twice in the same river and obviously you can not walk twice on the same sidewalk.

It's been a long, long time since we did that walk, or at least that part. It was wonderful. As I wrote this, I remembered how liberated and excited I was when I first went to this magical town.

When you go for a walk, do it slowly; you will discover so many beautiful things.
