Walking

Good weather means that little miss N wants to spend a lot of time outdoors. We go for a walk every day and I also usually take her to the park every afternoon if we are not running errands or doing something else.N isn't big on walking on the sidewalk. She likes to walk on the grass and she likes to smell the flowers in everybody's yard. The houses across the street from us are all raised on a little hill and have steps in their yard and their are few things she likes more than climbing steps over and over.

I'm not sure what the neighbors think of us traipsing around in their front yards, but I think most of them are at work anyway. One lady did come to her door when she saw me approaching...N was sniffing the purple petunias in the planter by her front porch. I never let N pick the flowers or destroy anything. She does like rearranging the mulch, but I make sure she doesn't do any damage. The hardest part of it for me is making sure we dodge dog poop. There are too many folks who don't bother to pick up after their pet and even our front yarn has some little landmines I have to steer her around.
