I only saw two others out doing their exercise. Another walker all decked out in black rain gear with a huge umbrella like mine, only hers was blue and a runner who didn't bother trying to keep dry.
The rain came down steady and pretty hard at times, but I loved walking in it. I tried singing walking in the rain but couldn't remember most of the words. I was out walking for two hours. It took me longer than usual because I had to walk around LOTS of puddles and I stopped a few times to watch the water in different places.
I walked 6.5 miles.

I really did have good intentions about getting the house cleaned on this rainy day, but I just had to get back to that blue scarf and I've been knitting instead. I thought I had solved my problem but it appears something else is wrong too. I'll get this yet, just need a little help. I'll put it aside until I get my friend Retired Knitter to take a look at it.
Besides knitting, I did only very basic morning stuff, made a loaf of bread, and read blogs. I also found some time to do my exercise DVD.
It's too late in the day now to start any housework so, I think I'll give knitting a break and read until Ken comes home from work.
This evening will just be a quiet one at home.
Hope your day had many smiles in it.

A smile from me to you.
Happyone :-)

it's because I have better things to do with my time.

Woooooow, looks flooded there. Since I'm sure those trees don't usually have their "feet wet."
Rain followed snow here and it's gonna' continue. The basement sump pump is doing its job!
We built on rock and knew cellar would have water. So a trench around the edge was built in, and the sump pump. :-)
I am so sick of rain and gray-ness, already and we will have more. No wonder I have to go-wild with my blog look. To keep me sane!!!!! ,-)
Enjoyed the walk int he rai today. It is raining here today with high wind. I enjoy getting out and walking in the rain.
Sounds like a great day.

I got so much housework done today. I was in the mood to do the whole house but Rob's here, so I made myself stop after a few hours.
The rain is just crazy today! Glad you were able to get your walk in.
Gosh, it was really raining and that area did look flooded. I admire you for getting out and doing it, no matter what the weather.
It's coming here overnight...the rain that is. I'm planning on a quiet, cuddly reading day. Hope that your friend can help you with the scarf that you want to master. I know how frustrating it is to have something go awry. Enjoy your quiet evening with Ken. I had supper ready at 5 and wouldn't you know John didn't arrive home until 6. Pah!
Wow, two hours to walk. I wondered how long it took you, even though today the rain delayed you. The stream is certainly on its way to flooding. The Pileated Woodpecker is certainly colorful, very pretty. Don't you just love the Me Days, ahhh so relaxing. I know you'll get your scarf worked out, can't wait to see it finished. Loved your quote!
Noofy - I usually walk about a mile in 15 minutes.
The wetlands along those paths really got a dousing, didn't they?? I think it would be a lot of fun to walk in the rain like that. You're right about boots not giving your feet any support. Better wet feet than foot pain!!
