And yet another Thanksgiving tradition is the morning walk - down Claudia and Rob's driveway to the cemetery about a mile away. Anyone who wants to come is welcome - but usually, in the morning, it is the women and the dogs. (If we do it again later in the day we sometimes attract a few of the guys.) It's a beautiful and peaceful walk. Claudia told me this Thanksgiving that she's been taking this walk for about 25 years! Day after day she walked first thing in the morning, or as soon as she got home from work.
It's an easy route. You leave the house…
walk past the pond…
and then down next to the barn …
and continue down the driveway…
You go along the road, talking and laughing and reminiscing. Calling the dogs if they wander too far. Sometimes you see some of the cattle…
And you turn around at the cemetery….
…and retrace your route up the road…
It's quiet, peaceful and beautiful
any time of year. If I lived on The Farm I would take that walk too…..and I would enjoy it every time.
