Jane Austen's characters loved their walks and I can see why. It was a beautiful day today, no need for a jacket, warm and sunny after raining so much these past few days. So in a quest for exercise I walked towards the sports center only to decide that an outdoor walk would be much more enjoyable. And it was. The grounds are quite lovely and I have not even begun to explore them all. I went as far as what could be an old road or aquaduct of some sort. There were old stone walls that were crumbled. I would have gone farther but started seeing old shell casings with "small game" printed on them. Since I do not know the english hunting seasons and did not wish to be mistaken for small game wearing a purple university of evansville sweatshirt I turned back. Deer would be quite smart if they adapted a bright orange coat so that hunters would think they were other hunters. Natural Selection, come on, keep up!!!!
Anyways I took some lovely pictures on my walk, and picked some flowers which are now in my room.
To end: If you are a Jane Austen reader you will remember how her characters always return from their walks with their skirts covered in mud. That is not a poetic device it is the truth.
Dirty but very Very worth it
