I didn't walk any of my regular routes but just went wherever my feet happened to take me. Snapped this picture down one of the trails I walked.
I saw a women with three little kids in the field over by the pool trying to get a kite up in the air without much luck. They all looked like they were having fun though.
Not many people out walking, just saw a few older people walking their dogs.
I walked 6.5 miles.

The rest of the morning I puttered around the house and then it was time leave to meet a friend (Retired Knitter) for lunch at Ram's Head. We met at the Tuesday morning knitting group and we don't really get to visit there, so every so often we meet up for lunch and a chance to talk. Always nice spending time with friends. I am thankful for every one of them. :-)
Remember that blue planter I got at the auction a few weeks back? I planted some basil seeds in it and I am happy to say that yesterday they sprouted. It won't be long before I'll have fresh basil to put on some homemade pizza. I'll take another picture once the plants are big. I'll have to thin them out a bit too.
It's that part of the afternoon where I usually read or knit, but first I'm going to visit some blogs. Once again I'm a bit behind.
Hope your Monday was a good one.
A smile from me to you.
Happyone :-)

the spring would not be so pleasant;

Trying to fly a kite in drizzle? Interesting.
You didn't check out the egg? There may have been something interesting in there...☺
(John and I went for our first walk last night. We made it around the block. That's not even a mile, but better than nothing. No walk tonight in the snowstorm, but tomorrow we'll give it another go.)
Vee, by the time I saw the kite flying people the drizzle had stopped. Nice to hear that you and John are walking. "-)
I'm wondering if a fox will find that egg? I have basil and oregano growing around my flagstone step just off the back deck in Breckenridge. I love the smell of herbs when they finally sprout (sometime in June). It was 33 here in Denver this AM but quickly warmed during my walk.
Hi HO, Sounds like you have some great places to walk near you... I love those woodsy trails.... Wonder where the egg came from ????
6.5 miles is a LONG walk... I haven't done as much walking recently as I did before my knee surgery... Need to start back!!!!
Love that last quote... We do need all four seasons, don't we??? Each makes the other so special.
Hugs,

Glad to have found your blog. Hope you have a wonderful week.
As always thanks for taking me along on your walk. How cool to find the egg, I usually find things like a nail, or screws that have fallen off of our truck. lol. Finding change would be nice too., and occasionally I will find a coin. One reason I enjoy outside walking is that nature is all around me, I almost stepped on a newborn lizard the other morning, didn't even phase him. lol
Thanks for coming by and for taking the time to leave me such a sweet note.

As I laid in bed this morning before sunrise listening to the thunder and pounding rain, I thought of you. I prayed you would be okay out in that terrible weather (I knew you would be out in it). I'm glad you headed home when it got bad and finished walking later. How cool finding the egg, wonder what (animal) kind it is? You'll have to check back for hatchlings. I too am catching up with an good friend tomorrow, they are our greatest treasures. Monday smiles back to you.
Lunch was great! We will do it again! See you at knitting.
Oh it's so nice to see things sprout up! And lunch with a friend ..... what a wonderful way to spend the day :)
It is always good for me to read your posts in the morning here because you've already been out and enjoyed your walk and it encourages me to get after my exercise in for the day! Blessings on the rest of your day.
Easter eggs and kite flying ~ signs of spring to be sure. Did you check that egg for hidden coins?
I am looking forward to fresh basil. Great idea to plant it in your cute new planter. I'll bet bulbs would be cute planted in there too. They'd fit right in with those Dutch people who are decorating the pot :).
So nice that you and Retired Knitter enjoyed lunch out.
Your basil sprouted!! That reminds me that I have an herb kit I want to plant to get a head start.
