Walking Tune

This post is titled for a fiddle tune! Walking Tune was written by Anne M Solvberg & Oyvind Lyslo. I don't have it in a book, it's a loose sheet of music I got somewhere, maybe Maine Fiddle Camp. It's a really nice tune to play and to hear. A few years ago I was listening to Prairie Home Companion and heard the tune played on the air.
Richard and I have been pretty busy packing/moving/unpacking. We managed a nice walk Saturday morning, and I got out to walk that afternoon with Jen & Avery. Sunday we took a little stroll out in the woods but I was pretty tired and came back to the house while Richard continued on. This afternoon, R asked me to go walking and I happily agreed. I love it when we're out walking this property. Seems we always find something interesting and special.
In a previous post I mentioned the turkeys and deer signs. Sunday we found 'whale rock' which of course looks like a whale, and that alone is pretty special. But 'whale rock' was gurgling in its belly! Somehow, there was enough water running underneath that you could hear it, but you had to look really carefully at the surrounding pools to see any movement at all.
Today we took a different woods road, one we've measured on the maps and seemed to be maybe 2.5 miles or so. We had to ford a small stream which was draining out of what first seemed to be a pond. Closer inspection revealed several beaver dams... one quite impressively large. We'll take the camera out next time and get a photo to post. It was pretty late when we left the house, and it did get dark before we got home but we had a great walk around the block. It's a little tricky out here walking after dark because there aren't street lights and there are no sidewalks or even shoulders to speak of. Lucky for us we were paying pretty good attention and it wasn't completely dark when we notice a HUGE hole in the shoulder~ probably big enough for a person to fall into. We couldn't really tell how deep it was but it looked like it could SWALLOW us up! We'll report it to the town crew tomorrow morning so they can attend to it before it ditches out under the road.
All in all, we've had some really nice walks out here, and we're anticipating many more.
