Today was my first day back on the pavement in awhile as travel, viruses and weather have conspired against scheduled walks. I spent it in the Eastwood neighborhood, near Liberty road and next to the large Gatton property. This is a 1990’s era neighborhood and very similar to a lot of smaller developments near it and off of Liberty Road.
Two aspects of today’s walk were notable. First, though most of the snow that fell last week has melted off the sidewalks, there are still little snow walls or pillars made by shoveled snow from driveways and sidewalks. In some cases, the snow wall covered the sidewalks, revealing that some people may have shoveled their driveways but not their sidewalks. Ahem. The second aspect is that familiar phenomenon in which a spring-like day brings people out. Despite the sogginess of the melted snow on rain-saturated ground, people were in their yards or out walking. Good to see.
It’s perhaps worth a quick mention. The time off was not all for naught. I’ve made some tweaks to the map, with more perhaps to follow. I’m also much closer to providing dynamic maps for each post that should better highlight each day’s walk as well as allow more context.
