Donna Jean has always liked to walk for exercise (and the pleasure of being outside). Earlier this year she decided that walking on the road had become too hazardous for her so she took to walking back and forth on her driveway. But she likes to have the dog with her and trying to negotiate a walking stick and a leash with diminished vision started to seem like a bad idea.
So she decided that what she needed was a level, hard surfaced path going straight across her front yard (about forty feet). The yard is fenced so the dog can run around loose. Bev Hill planned it out and brought over a crew, some pressure treated lumber, and a bunch of gravel and made this nicely tamped, level mini-track. Donna Jean likes to go out on warm days and do about five laps out and back while Nigel romps. Also she has a new red coat.
Thank you Robin -- for the path, for the photo, and for sharing news of your dear Mom (especially about the new red coat!) with all of us. My life has been greatly enriched by her friendship. Jo Ann Hodshon

ReplyDeleteI arrived last week unannounced to see Donna Jean and Nigel exercising before the rain. Hard to miss the red coat! Now I know the story of the path. Thanks for sharing and for leading the way in making living spaces safe and useful.
