when i go for my walk i have a new little side trip to take off riverside, down the new pedestrian path along the tracks.

i take this little detour to pay a visit to the blue spruce that got too big for the front yard.

our amazing city forester offered to find it a new home where it could grow freely, not bound by a picket fence.

so now it's happy in a little stretch of urban woods not far away from the river.

i missed not being able to put my big old-school colored lights on it at christmas, though...
