I’ve been wanting to hike to “the lookout” for quite some time now. My neighbours told me about the place well over a year ago. It’s the opposite way to our usual walk down to the creek that has become so ingrained we practically do it on autopilot. It was definitely time to change things up as 2025 rolled to a close.
So we headed in the opposing direction and ran into a friendly fellow-dog walker who gave us very clear directions of which trail to take. A short while later…voila!






We hope you find some new things to discover, to bring new adventures and opportunities your way this year.
Rock on, and elbows up!

A new hike, a new trail and a plethora of new smells didn’t impress our boy?
He’s a tough nut to crack.
🤣
Nothing was smelly enough to even consider rolling in…sigh! (For which I am very grateful ☺️). Thanks, Rivergirl 💕
My mini schnauzer, Alaska, is also hard to impress. We took her to the state of Alaska and tried to give her fresh glacier ice. She declined it.
Probably too pure! Bowser won’t drink out of his inside water bowl if there’s a muddy puddle or an old slimy water-filled bucket outside and available 🤷🏼♀️. Alaska sounds like a kindred spirit to Bowser 😁. Thanks, WG 💕
She was almost disgusted that we tried to give it to her ! She huffs when she is displeased ! So glad we found your blog!
Thank you very much! 💕
A new direction for a new year! Yay!
It’s about time we changed things up! Thanks, Kate 💕
You took a metaphor about a new path for the new year and turned into a new walk and a blog post. Or was it the other way around: you took a walk and turned it into a metaphor about taking a new path in the new year? Either way, the photos of your part of the world are wonderful!
It’s a bit of both! Thank you, Jean 💕
It’s always great to find a new trail/vista. Love the bench and the view from there.
Me too! I’m sorry it took me so long to finally get there. Thanks, Bernie 💕
Nice walk! I look forward to doing it with you and Bowser sometime soon (preferably good weather). 😀
It’s a date! Thank you, Donna 💕
Lovely walk! Good to see both of you enjoyed it!
It was and we did! Thank you, Ju-Lyn 💕
All those fresh trails and novel smells, and he’s still not sold? Quite the demanding little guy!”
I know! Bowser is so spoiled for good walking trails 😂. As am I. Thank you 💕
