The winds started to pick up this morning and got worse as the hours passed. Fortunately, Holly and I went out to Little Mountain Park for our walk today before they got too strong. This large (about 160 acres), relatively undeveloped, city park is north of an industrial area on the NW edge of Winnipeg. It's mostly aspen woodland with a spider's web of trails throughout and some large grassy fields.
Obviously, it's a popular place for city dog walkers. There were lots of unleashed dogs running around while we were there, contrary to the signs posted everywhere. People also seemed to ignore the signs saying to pick up after your dog. Holly enjoyed the park and all its smells but I much prefer walking the trails at Beaudry Provincial Park.
It's my son's 38th birthday today. The years have sure passed quickly. I can remember when he was ... Anyways, have a great day, Mike!
Looks like I won't have to water the flower beds in my yard for awhile. Lots of rain is predicted over the next few days. We sure need it, too. Everything is much too dry in southern Manitoba. The farmers who have already seeded will be very pleased to see their fields get a good soaking at this time.
Windy day in Richmond Hill too. Hope we do not get the snow that others have had. Your walks sound so inviting. Happy birthday Mike!!
