Neighbor Logan (13) and I hadn’t planned to walk together, but he came out of his house as I reached the end of my driveway. There were oodles of small, icy puddles to delight our ears. I didn’t realize there were several techniques until I saw the videos of Logan’s footwork. In this one he explored with his whole foot, used his toe, did some twists, and ended with his heel.
A longer stretch of ice gave him scope for moon walking and running in place. Together, we stepped on EVERY puddle on the road. We each did some and shared a few.
Logan didn’t miss a thing. He commented on one puddle that had more esthetic appeal than all the others. We put that in the art category.
We decided at the stop sign that we would go all the way to the creek. As we crossed the highway, there was not a moving vehicle in sight both coming and going. I think that is the first time that has happened to me. We spotted Lise walking Rosie near the firehouse, and she turned around and went back to the creek with us. What fun it was to have a group! We took photos of each other to record the event and headed home.
