June 13, 2025
I knew that the day numbers in these titles had to be wrong so I’ll have to go back and fix them. I’m not looking at a calendar and the days just all seem the same, which is a good thing.
Yesterday was a day off. Well, they are all days off but yesterday was nothing in particular. We did do a bit of grocery shopping and while we were out we cruised through the Whitehall area to look at properties. It’s pretty nice there and even though it is a little bit upscale, there are plenty of really nice homes for under $300K.
The rest of the day was laid back. I have a library book on my Kindle that is about due and I spent quite a bit of time getting that finished. It was “Round the Bend” by Nevil Shute. I’ve read quite a few of his books and this one was a real stand out. That said, “On the Beach” is still my favorite of his and one of the more unsettling books I’ve read.
Today is sort of of unplanned. I did want to get in a 5 mile run so I headed out about 7:45 with the destination goal to check out the Landis Nature Trail. I charted a course that would make it a big loop and take me through a few places I haven’t seen yet here in Brookline. Here are some views from along the way.
I turned onto Edgebrook Avenue, a long and increasingly narrow street.
At one one a group of bicyclists went by, going the other way, and the guy in the rear asked “What are you doing on our road?” Pretty funny. There were a few cars that went by and they have to hug the shoulder when coming to opposing traffic.
I got near the end of the road and turned on Timberland which took me to the trail head. Someone is collecting aluminum cans.
The trail isn’t marked and I wasn’t sure which way to go other than to keep heading west. There were lots of muddy spots.
I exited the trail not where I thought I would but close enough. It turns out that I’d been tresspassing on the final 100 yards or so.
The next stop is Moore Park to look at their pool. I had to run uphill through a nice neighborhood to get to Pioneer Ave.
I arrived at the park and checked out the pool. It looks pretty nice. I’m not sure what the hours are.
The run back took me through some small streets, new neighborhoods, to me, and, of course, more hills.
Once back on Brookline Blvd. It was an easy cruise back to where I started.
Here are today’s stats:
Later in the day we went to Settlers Park on the west side of the city. We ran the dog at their dog park and then hike the Waterfall Trail.
Yes, the after fall is a small one.
After that it was back to our place on Harcor to refresh. Now she is mowing and I’m about ready to get our dinner started.
