A Walk Around my Countryside

Maggie is staying in the Tiny House (for two and a half months) which is a stone throw from my home. I have a walking partner!

"Over the past week, Corey and I have walked about 45 miles. It never seems so, as we're talking about such fascinating things, the views are extraordinary, the sunshine addictive; time flies. These photos are just a few of our rambles in and around her home.

 We did 10k on Sunday in spectacular weather, passed often by families out walking as well or just coming home in a car from the nearest highest mountain—serious walkers they.

We both love the old bridges, the abandoned shepherd shelters, and the lovely flora: Umbrella pines, grey-green olives, rosemary just breaking into blue-bloom flowerets, wild thyme, and now the pushing pink-white buds of viburnum, oh yes, the vineyards getting ready for bud-break by month's end. Violets are poking up along the roadside rivulets matching the backdrop of azure sky.

Spring is on the cusp.

A little dog called Luna (by her tag) followed us for several kilometers down one mountain road. A kindly hunter who happened to be loading his car directly ahead of us called the number on her tag, and the grateful owner came rushing down to fetch her."

  1. How wonderful to have walking partners to be able to explore the country side. It is beautiful! Thanks for your words and photos, Maggie!

  2. I can only dream of weather like this and violets in bloom. Keep the stories and photos coming and love to Annie.

  3. Maggie will never want to leave! I know I wouldn’t!
    Spring is not on the cusp here in Connecticut.

  4. Wish I were there

  5. Maggie, on your walks are you scouting places/things to paint? BTW, if you haven’t tried the chestnut yogurt that the local grocery store carries, I recommend it highly — yummmmmm!

  6. Thank you for the post, Maggie.

    I am envious in a good way. Will the Tiny House be available for short term rental on a regular basis? Looking forward to more tales of your adventures.

  9. A 10K walk? Good for you! And with a walking partner it makes it so much easier, I’m sure. I’ll bet the air smells so good out in the countryside.
