As I was not able to take the whole week off from my job, I tried to plan shorter hours so I would be able to spend more time with Willa. Plus, I worked it out so that she could meet me for lunch. Before we grabbed our grub, we took a nature walk.
It was a path that I had discovered a couple of months ago, on a wintry day. The hospital that I work for......is the keeper of this path. I am so impressed and proud of them.
Join Willa and me as we explored the way.....flowers galore, for sure!
