This is our lane, if you look close you can see the barn off to the right. I walk this lane every morning to go feed the cats. It is 6:30 AM and already getting hot. But the real story this morning is the lane itself. Jim and I would walk this lane together many times. He jokingly would say "I walk Donna and the dogs".Trying to get me in "shape". According to the stress test I guess I am not in too bad a shape. Again I digress. The lane, Jim had crushed concrete (not real environmentally sound I guess) put down, because when it does rain there are some low spots that could mess you up. He wanted a "firm" foundation for our trips in and out. We didn't get the stuff spread real evenly in places as you can see. The cool thing about this is the grass is starting to come back and grow over the thinner parts and in the heavier areas grass is making inroads too. The thing with crushed concrete is they crushed everything with it; nails re-bar, even PVC pipe. So now on my morning walks I find and pick up that wire and nails that comes to the surface and lies in wait for some unsuspecting tire. Oh and mowing is fun. Have to raise the mower a little or you send a shower of rock every where.

So like my lane and life in general. Watch out for the "nails that lay in wait" and stay above the "rocks that can be slung". Be discerning of your thoughts don't sling to many rocks and nails at those unsuspecting.  The path you walk may be challenging, but if done peaceful, high above the rocks the way "it is good". So on this hot hot Saturday, watch out for rocks and rusty wire. ;-)
