Bunnies, Bodies, and Books

Due to some unfortunate call-offs these past few days, R and I have had time to explore. We love going on walks around our place and finding neat things to do/see. On each and every walk we see at least 1 rabbit. This is such a strange phenomenon. Where are all these rabbits coming from? Why are they living in nearby business park shrubbery? I don't mean to be crude, but I guess it goes along with the old saying, "doing it like rabbits." We rather enjoy these wildlife sightings in the midst of a very urban area.

(Lone bunny, they usually travel in packs)

Along with bunny sightings, we found a park close by that is filled with wooden exercise equipment. We're trying to get in shape and since we're 1 mile high we thought, "Sure, why not? Let's exercise our butts off (literally) where there's less oxygen, so that's it's at least twice as hard." We're managing and this little park is an incentive. We jog looking like newborn calves run there and do a few circuits then walk run home. I think I'm finally acclimated to the atmosphere and R probably did  2 weeks ago. Slow and steady wins the race.

We also traveled 30 minutes to the closest Culvers to fix a craving of mine. Once there, the owner took our order and we got to talking and found out she's originally from Sycamore, IL and owns the Culvers there! It certainly is a small world. My spirits were brightened after our trip since I was feeling down about not being able to work. This trip certainly won't help our body venture, but sometimes the mind needs to be boosted instead.

Today we walked to the library in the 90 degree heat with no shade in sight. We're official nerds after being super excited to get library cards so we can read more books! I really enjoyed reading Killing Kennedy and have been looking for Killing Lincoln several places, so I thought the library would be a sure spot. Of course someone had it checked out, so I decided on something else and bought the book online. We're enjoying cold drinks at a coffee shop after our hot walk and hopefully I'll be able to work tonight!

Fingers crossed,
