New finding

After living here for 6 years until today I didn't know there are more beautiful horse trail near my home. Today Grace and I prepared to walk our dog Ginger for a longer time, and we were kind of ready to exercise more and adventure the surrounding environment. It took us 3 hours to finish the exercise, and we found two trails. One is a new one to go the top of hill Easten part of Lorenzo Church. The other, in our way home, was just next to the horse training facility right on other side of Lemon Avenue across the Lorenzo Church.

People tend to follow the similar path in their daily life, and I am so much among these people. From now on, I am so happy I have more choice to walk on this trail that is along the Snow Creek with a deep smell of wild forest. Kind of feel lucky to be living in this place that is in the city that has the atmosphere of being in the wild forest. City of Walnut is such a beautiful city with so many country style trails.

How can we accept the NFL stadium to be here that will contain 75,000 people coming in and out for the noisy game? It is just like driving a noisy truck directly into a library, a brutal destruction of a quiet and elegant community.

I also had a small interesting encounter. During the walking, we found a mother bird taking about a dozen baby birds running across the Walnut Canyon Avenue. At first I only see small dots passing fast in front of me without knowing they are baby birds that can't fly. When they tried to get into the bushes on the other side of street, they have to jump over the curb. Only 1/3 of the chicks jumped over to join the mother. The rest were trying so hard to jump but fell back down. The mother bird was so nervous that she jump down and up the curb in panic, but had no idea to help her children. I imminent danger of the chicks as some run back on to the street, so I ran over to guide them to the end of the curb and use the drive way of a house. Most of them then found their way to join their mother. There is the last one running up along the drive way which is isolated from the bush area. I had to race and catch it and put it back into the bush. It was so tiny like a small mouse, and cute. When I left, I feel the whole family of that bird saying thank you to me. Ha ha.
