stop

I overslept, and consequently had to do the scheduled six-mile run on my own.

It was a hot one, and I was tired from a three-mile run during lunch the day prior plus a four-mile walk with a friend after work.

So there were a number of reasons to stop along the way...

Geese and goslings. These are just a few - the rest of the "herd" got away.

Smell the roses... Literally!

Mom's favorite, yellow roses.

A dormant cat, but not for long, not at the prospect of being petted!

And a beautiful flowering bush...

I really should be more driven. But oh, what I'd miss along the way.
