It is spring and I am falling in love…with my town, Brighton, NY. I liked it before but now that I am getting to know it more intimately, it is love. Spring is a special time of year to spend time walking the neighborhoods. Week 3 of my Walk Brighton Project brought more beauty with the opening buds of flowering trees.

I continue to enjoy the nods, waves, and hellos from the few people I pass while walking (at a far distance). One approaching woman and I both moved off the sidewalk and to the road at the same time. We both chuckled and she said, “we are all learning our pedestrian manners.” I have so few in-person conversations nowadays that I cherish these interchanges.
