Though I faithfully ride my recumbent exercise bike 110 miles (or, for 7 - 8 hours) per week on average, and enjoy reading while the miles pass by, it dawned on me recently that spring is coming and I should head outside and walk a few miles per week as well.
I can’t be exact at the moment, but it takes me about 15 minutes to walk one mile and not far from my house a walking and biking trail exists that leads be throughout the city.
I spotted nests of mud under a bridge downtown and shortly thereafter noticed a purse-shaped nest in Harris Park. If you’d like to hazard a guess as to who made it, let me know.
Outside of a shop in Wortley Village, about 6 minutes from my front door (Let’s see; that’s about one-third of a mile from home.), I saw a lovely tin-roofed birdhouse sitting in a patch of ivy and myrtle. It may provide inspiration for another round of birdhouse building.
If so, you’ll be the first to know, as usual.

Are you feeling the urge to get outside and walk a few miles this week? I recommend the walk/bike path through Harris Park.
