Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

Reflection

Had a short walk of only 5,500 steps this morning.
50 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds.
Didn't feel so great and that's why I cut my walk short.  
I felt a bit light headed, very thirsty and hungry plus I didn't sleep much last night.
Thought I'd better get back home - didn't want to pass out walking or while driving back home.
Thought maybe I was dehydrated.
Felt quite a bit better after drinking and eating but still tired.

I did manage to walk around the ball park, one cemetery, and around the pond.


Reflection on the Pond


Ken made me take it easy the rest of the day so didn't do much of anything.

Just a short post today.

Thanks for stopping by and hope your Tuesday was a good one.

Milk Bottle Monday

I got to town at 6:30 just as the street lights were turning off and sunrise was soon after at 6:49.
There was a mix of sun and clouds and the temperature was 40 degrees with a bit of a breeze.
So nice walking in daylight, at least for a while anyway.



Walked around both cemeteries first and then the ball park loop.
Went back to the car and picked up a DVD and walked that to the library and dropped in down the slot.
Then continued walking up and down all the streets in town.

RuthAnn was out walking her dogs as well as John and Prim.
A few more people I see in cars every day driving by started waving to me this morning.

Dwayne stopped in his truck and asked me if I had walked up around the corn field behind his house yet.  
You may remember I tried walking there but wasn't sure exactly where to go.
I told Dwyane that and he explained it better this time and told him I'd give it a try again. 
Told me not to go today though because there was someone hunting up that way.

Did chores around the house today.

My appointment at Walmart to get my eyes checked out was at 5:00 today.
I've never had to wear glasses except as I got older for reading and then I just got those cheap readers that you can buy anywhere.
I've noticed that distance is not quite as sharp as it once was hence the reason for the eye exam.
Was told my eyes were really pretty good for my age.
I'm getting reading glasses and am slightly farsighted so getting a pair of bifocals.
Picked out a pair of frames and will get a text when they are ready for me to pick up.

Just had sandwiches when we got home because it was late and didn't feel like cooking anything.

 
Milk Bottle Number 3
I put milk in it which makes the lettering on it easy to read.
It holds a quart and the lettering is the same on both sides.
I like the name Happy Hills and that is probably why I got this one.
Have had it many years.
Frostburg, MD is not far down the road from where we live 
and pass through it on our way to LaVale.


That's it for this Monday.
Hope yours was a happy one and thanks for stopping by.

Think what a better world it would be if we all, 
the whole world, 
had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon 
and the lay down on our own blankets for a nap.
