From The Past: May 14, 2007

We visited the Lexington Cemetery for the second Sunday in a row, but this time we took Guido. It was a beautiful day and I had no intention of leaving him cooped up at home.

I love the fact that Lexington allows leashed dogs in the cemetery. It’s like a park atmosphere, but I would never let him defile a grave. This is the place for us! I only wish we lived closer so we could go more often.

When we arrived, we decided we would park on one of the roads on the inside boundary and walk around the entire perimeter. We knew this would be a long walk, but had no idea just how long it was. I told Kevin if we got tired, we could always cut through the middle to get back to the truck.

With my camera and plenty of water for Guido, we set off.

There are a few trees for shade, big rocks to sit on, and a cool breeze that blows off the water. This is where we decided to let Guido take a break. He enjoyed getting a cool drink of the water we had brought and the shade of the tree.

I thought these Iris’s were beautiful:

Ashley was tired by the time we got back to the truck and Guido was doing his heavy breathing, but Kevin and I could have kept walking.

We got in the truck and drove along the same path that we had walked in order to find out how far we had gone. Kevin guessed one mile and I guessed a mile and a half. We were both surprised to find that we had walked a little over two miles.

Two miles might be common for some people, but for us this was progress!
