These feet were made for walkin...

and walk they did...
in Hillsdale, Michigan today

Remember last year when I showed you pictures
that I took at the Hillsdale college arboretum? Here we are again today...
only a whole month earlier!

aren't these trees just gorgeous?
I love the gazebo too!
We saw some young ladies all dressed up and
some young men in white tuxedos so I wonder
if there was a wedding about to take place.
I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted to
because it was just too cold and windy. Lucky to get the ones I did. lol.

I think these may be weeping cherry trees
a nice place to stop and take a rest
whatever these trees are... I love them!
Hillsdale is one of the most beautiful towns I
have ever seen and I am so glad I live close by!

If I had to live in town I would pick this one.
It is full of beautiful old victorian homes.
Believe it or not this is the front of the hospital!

Beautiful trees in the hospital yard.
I love this beautiful old church too.
The stained glass windows in it are amazing!
Hopefully someday I can get pictures of them too.

Hillsdale College campus
One of my favorite houses on the main street
I would love to live here!
Another house right beside the previous one
This street is just lined with architectural beauty
and hundreds of flowering trees in spring!

When it is flower planting time the garden club
donates beautiful hanging baskets that
line the streets. They are so beautiful and lush
it is breathtaking.

The ideal small town to live in for sure!

Happy weekend! Blessings~

Chosen Pathways ~

Hubby and I have been talking lately about how the choices we make help determine our paths in life. They can be good choices or not so good ones, but every choice will make a difference in how we live out our lives. Sometimes the right path is not always the easy one, but in the end it is all worth it ~
Road Less Traveled~
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet, knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence;
Two roads diverged in a wood- and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Blessings to you and yours today. May the paths you choose take you to glorious places yet unseen~
