More walking

Over the long Easter weekend we went to the Dufferin Islands nature preserve every day. It was sunny but quite cold for the time of year. It's close to the river and that means that the ice still in the river keeps areas nearby colder.
There is very little sign of spring yet but the forsythia are just showing a few green buds.

I finally found my pedometer at home and measured the walks as being around 1km to do a circuit, about 15-20 minutes for me. We saw lots of families with bread to feed the ducks and geese. I found the walking to be easy and it gives me hope that I will recover soon from the fatigue.

On Sunday we took the campervan and stopped at Chippawa Park to have a picnic lunch, but it was too cold to sit outdoors so we ate in the van, with the heater on! Still, there were plenty of family groups all bundled up having their picnic lunch outdoors at the picnic tables. A couple parked beside us started out at a picnic table but soon retreated to their car to eat. I guess everybody is anxious for spring to arrive.
