[Walking] is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside.

It's amazing what a little sunshine and a morning walk can do for one's mood and energy level.
Along the way there were swarms of butterflies, birds tweeting, flowers and trees and a lovely breeze.
Have a fabulous Friday!

Okay, now you have motivated me, I better get my behind off this chair and out the door for a walk.
Hugs to you Tammy and Happy Weekend.

Tammy, it is nice to see all the flowers as we still have some snow on the ground. The pictures on my blog with my kiddos was taken about 10 days ago when we were blanketed in snow and offices and schools were closed for several days. I can't imagine what you are going through as you send Yusef to college here in the states. I am only sending my daughter a little over an hour away. It will be a new chapter for both of our lives as moms. Have a great weekend.
I agree. Even riding my bicycle is almost too fast to see things. LOL Lovely pictures and I see you have many of the same flowers that we do here in South Texas. I think our weather is similar.
I must admit that this winter I haven't walked as much as I would love to. But, come spring -that would certainly change!
Thanks for the inspiration! Love the pictures!
what a glorious host of flowers you've shared! makes me anxious for our own flowers that are trying to awaken as I type this. It won't be much longer. Have a super weekend! hope it is full of all the things you love.

I woke up to slushy snow this morning, so it's a pleasure to see the sunny day and beautiful flowers in your post. Thanks!
Oh how I love listening to the sounds of nature and seeing it beautiful wonder. Thanks for sharing your walk with us. Hugs judy
Lovely pictures Tammy. Thanks for stopping by my blog - and have a good day.
beautiful walk-I will be taking a walk later today too-sunshine a little warmer today-enjoy your day Kathy
Glorious flowers! It is chilly here today but spring is waking everything up!
You could not have wrapped up the joys of walking better. The quote at the top of your post nails it!
Yes , I agree with you ! When you walk you can see so beautiful images and the mood changes ! I loved the smells of flowers that diffuse !!!

Hi Tammy, You have inspired me and I have finally started going for evening walks! Happy Women's Day. Have a great weekend.
Love
Hi Tammy,
Ahhh walking one of my most favorite things to do! I love it.
Loved seeing your photos from such a different place than here. Hey though, we do finally have sunshine here today and right now it's in the upper 30s, the warmest we've had in a while. Supposed to be mid 40's today and upper 50s (dare I say maybe 60 tomorrow - and that will be short weather for sure).
Take care,
Linda
Fabulous, indeed - I have to wait for the rains to stop today, but will be joining you...happy weekend - Tanya
Hi Tammy
If you wander over to my blog you'll see how your simple act of kindness has expanded into a note book cover.
thanks once again.

Walking really does lift the spirits! Beautiful sights along your walk.
I love the quote and your photos are wonderful!
Wishing you a marvelous weekend!
I so agree! We have sunshine here and warmth and I'm to head off in moments for a lunch with 3 of my NW blogging friends.. yeehaw! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Sounds like a wonderful walk! Such lovely photos :) Have a great weekend, Tammy.
It always feels so good to go outside. And, you're so right....walking is a much better way to see things you'd normally miss. Nice photos. It looks nice and warm there. Have a great weekend!
Yes, walking is perfect. Beautiful flowers for you along the way, too. Diane
I am very eager to walk. I think we had our last snow this week. I have been very sedentary this winter and really need to get some exercise!
Wow! Your Winter is lots prettier than ours! LOL! But we're coming around and tomorrow is supposed to be near 70 F. I'll be outside all day for sure!
I got your card and sweet little crocheted heart today! I "blogged" it! Thank you SO much....it truly warmed my heart. I smile each time I look at it....which is a lot!!!
Have a great weekend! Hugs and much gratitude!
Your quote today is so true.
Dearest Tammy,
What a joy it is indeed to be on foot and in touch with your surroundings!
Found a sweet idea on Etsy that I want to pass on to you: http://www.etsy.com/listing/24356032/set-of-3-vintage-rose-handmade-gift-tags
