I met an old friend while I was walking tonight...

I met an old friend as I as walking tonight.  We were on our way home from a good walk and there she was just walking around the corner.  She didn't remember me at first, but then it all came back to her when I re-introduced myself.  We ended up dumping the dogs so that I could talk and watch nature boy (who seems to not know what a car is). 

We walked a long ways.  And it was getting dark, so we turned around.  And we walked and talked some more.  What did we talk about?  Well, mostly about body mechanics, and counting our blessings about being healthier than we were the last time we saw each other.  We talked about food and how organic is so much better...but growing it yourself is even better than that.  And we talked about the neighbors.  Who still lives in the neighborhood.  Who has chickens.  :-)  Who has kids. 

And we walked her to her house and she gave us green beans...of course ones she grew herself.  And then she walked us home because she didn't want our lovely, spontaneous walk to end.  And we promised to chat more some other evening. 

And I came in here and thought, "Hmmm...I was looking for community out there because it was near a small town and it was in a farming community.  And I came home and was reminded that I had it here all along."  It was a good reminder. 

Love to you and yours on this lovely Fall evening.
