Does anyone else remember that 2 weeks ago I said I was going to visit my eldest daughter, her husband and my grandchildren?
That's why I haven't been on a walk with my beloved dog for 2 weeks. Today at 7 a.m., I made the dog happy that we were going for a walk with her to the river.
During my absence from home, no one went for a walk with the dog in the bosom of nature, so she was very happy to see me.
Today's weather contributed to our walk. There were clouds in the sky, through which the warm Sun shone, but there was no heat, because the north wind did not allow the air to warm up.
I love this time of year, the beginning of May, when green leaves appear on the trees and the landscape itself turns green, because young green grass appears through the old gray withered grass. It's a time of renewal in nature and in the mind.
I look around me and it all pleases my eyes. I love the mountains and the sea, but my soul and body rest right here, on the river and in the forest, which are not far from my house.
My daughter and son-in-law have been offering me to come live near them for 5 years. But I know that my wife will not go anywhere else to live, because she likes our house, our garden, our village, our nature.
Sometimes it seems that there is nothing special around us, that everything is ordinary and familiar. But it's like I'm glued to this place. I love visiting my children in Moscow and my son in the Arkhangelsk region, but I'm always happy when I come back! But I love fishing with my son in the North.
I like this road along the river bank. I love walking on it. The only thing is that the river has become shallow in this place and a sandy beach has formed, but about 5 years ago I fished here and always caught pike, walleye and rapeseed. But the river has changed. And I changed, my working conditions changed, and I stopped going fishing in the morning. I want to change all that!
Will these trees fall this year or will they still stand? Last year, the water level in the river was the lowest in my memory. This year, the water rise is also low, but still the water has washed away the edges of the shore and the shore is collapsing.
But this cannot even be called the destruction of the coast. I know of years when the shore went under 20 meters in the spring, so the road was trampled further and further away from the water. That is why the sandy beach has come to the place of deep water.
We'll have another day off tomorrow. Tomorrow we will go for a walk with the dog again. But I have another route planned for tomorrow, tomorrow we will go with the dog to look for shades for @melinda010100.
Friends, goodbye! Until the next walk.
