Among the advantages
of living in a “pedestrian culture” like MVD’s, pausing to savor the
changing seasons ranks high on the list for me. Walking makes us take time to
do that! We do take buses for greater distances or to save time when running
errands downtown. But we usually walk to and from DJ’s kindergarten; it’s not quite 1.8-kilometers each way.
We especially
enjoy the colors on our “favorite trees”
on the walk to and from school!
Silk floss kapok trees were at their peak about a month ago.
And this month –
as an added bonus – we’re trying to save “bus money” for summer camp! At the beginning
of the month, JM figured out and then set apart all the bus money we would
spend, riding to and from school, in one month; every time we walk instead, we
put that amount in our “camp fund” box. (JM is especially trying to encourage
the teens from church to see that there are real, daily ways we can all start saving
for camp!)
