Sunday at Boulevard Park

Patches of fog floated through the neighborhood this morning, a brief disruption to an otherwise sunny day. The packing boxes emptied, dishes were washed and stored in cupboards, a lost power cord for the computer was found, and boxes were refilled with the overflow and will be taken to the storage unit. The day is too beautiful to be wasted inside fussing with packing boxes, so we drove to Boulevard Park and the waterfront boardwalk.

I walked slowly and stopped often to sit on a conveniently placed park bench… a far cry from the quick stride I once had as an avid hiker. But while that is a frustration to me, I could still enjoy the afternoon’s activity. There were bicyclist, families strolling on the boardwalk, a man pulling up a crab pot, elderly people walking their dogs, two young women sitting on a rock at the water’s edge, one man who sat with pen in hand writing in his journal, another man with a laptop computer. There were many boats on the water, but so little wind that some of the sail boaters were using paddles. Bob remarked on what a wonderful community Bellingham is, and I heartily agreed.
