walk

Clear. Took a walk in the back on New Year's morning. Deer and rabbit tracks in the snow. Crow of a rooster from way across the valley. Spied a couple of ruffed grouse beneath a blackberry bush before they exploded from their hiding place and headed deeper into the woods.

My father considered a walk
among the mountains as the
equivalent of church-going.
