Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
[Robert Frost]
It was dusk and the hour was late, yet it would be another hour before we could proceed with the task at hand.
Earlier in the day we had mistakenly gone to Tastee Freez to take advantage of “Free Ice Cream Cone Day” only to realize that it was Dairy Queen that was offering the promotion. Instead we enjoyed lunch there without the added ice cream treat.
Now, later in the day, by chance we found ourselves a mile or less from Dairy Queen and we had an hour to kill.
Two routes diverged, one by walkway, the other by road,
We took the one less traveled - opting to walk rather than drive -
And that made all the difference.
Had we driven to Dairy Queen we would never have experienced this evening’s “Bunny Encounter.” While the interaction between us and the rabbit was brief, it was in another sense lasting, as we made a connection with nature that continued to remain with us adding joy to our day.
As the bunny scampered away and we went on our way, I reflected, and then commented, “There are so many things we can only experience by walking and which we miss by driving.”
The "task at hand," reluctantly (after some 38 years) having to replace our faithful GE Refrigerator manufactured in August of 1986 with a new Whirlpool Refrigerator with today's projected life expectancy for a new refrigerator limited to 12 years. (They don't make them like they used to do.)
And for good measure, the sunset as we drove home:
