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

Yesterday Ken and I went to Mt Airy and had lunch in a cute little sidewalk restaurant.  We consider it a special place of ours and went there to celebrate an early Valentine's Day.  Then we browsed around an antique mall.  A very nice Sunday afternoon.

The temperature stayed above freezing all night and this morning when I walked it was a mild 42 degrees.  Perfect weather for walking.  I only had to wear two long sleeved tee shirts and a hooded sweatshirt. I headed out to the lake thinking that all the ice would have melted.  Well, surprise surprise, that was not the case. The first half of the lake I walked was pretty good and I could easily get around the ice.  As a few people passed me going in the opposite direction they all told me how bad it was on the other side.  Barb recommended that I take the upper path and get on the park road until I get to the work station and then get back on the path.  So I took her advice and  went that way.
I walked along the road here.
 And came out here where I went to the right and headed back home.  Usually I come from the left to right here.
I think tomorrow I will stay away from the lake and stick to the sidewalks and street.
I walked 6.4 miles.
Sunrise 7:01
Sunset 5:43
Enjoy your day.
Happy Valentine's Day to you.
Happyone :-)

It looks like a great day there. It's sunny in Denver, too, so I'm heading out. Happy Valentine's Day.
