Walk to the Post Office

This morning I took a walk to town to the post office, first time this year. I was on my walk for 2 and a half hours, 6 miles. That is my feet on the Augusta Canal levee along the hiking trail. And that is Georgia red clay soil.

This honeysuckle bush on the canal had the sweet smell that brought back memories of honeysuckles on the farm. Remember?

I am near the downtown post office and this huge pile of red soil came from the rodeo event they had at the arena nearby.

I am on top of the pile taking a picture of the post office (the flat top building to the left), showing the skyline of Augusta.

Here is a picture I got of the Augusta Canal Tour Boat as it was about to go under the bridge I am standing on.

Here is showing the hazard of living in hill country. I was at work one day last week and came in to find that my pickup had decided to take a little drive down the parking lot with no driver and crashed into the side of my coworker's nice vehicle. Needless to say, I have learned the hard way to remember to park my pickup in gear and as an extra precaution pull up the emergency brakes. I even go one step further, turn my front wheels away from parked vehicles.

Here I am bottle feeding a 5 day old kitten that a stray mother cat abandoned on our back porch. Needless to say it is a lot of effort to keep something so tiny alive but it is now 11 days old and a fighter.
