Walking again : )

Oh, it was sooooo good to get back to my morning walk.  It's been over three weeks since I walked around the lake and it was a bit of heaven being there again.  The weather was perfect for walking.  Sunny and 55 degrees.
No sooner did I start walking on the path to the lake when I saw three deer across the stream.  You can barely see them in this picture but they are there.

Coming up to the lake the Red Bud trees are blooming and everything is turning green.

The dogwood trees are blooming too.

I saw two snapping turtles.  This one was over by the lake on the dam side

and another one in the taller grass further along the path.  I first heard something moving in the grass and went to investigate and there she was walking along.  So nice to see these because I don't think I saw any here last year.

Just another picture I took walking.  

Everywhere I looked everything looked so pretty that I wanted to take a picture of everything I saw!

There were quite a lot of people walking around the lake but I didn't see any of my walking friends.  I did leave a little bit later than usual so maybe that's why.  I also tried to take it slower than my usual walk just to be on the safe side with my leg and kept my walk to just over 5 miles today.  Leg feels great and tomorrow I'll be back to my regular 6 miles or so. : )

I want to say Thank You! my friends, for your concern over my hurt leg.  All the well wishes and good thoughts  and the prayers.  You my blogger friends are indeed friends.

Thanks also for all the kind comments you left on building The Barn posts.

Just getting back in the routine of things this Monday.  There was lots of laundry to get done and thankfully the sunny day has cooperated and I got quite a few loads done.  A couple loads in the morning and the clothes dried fast enough that I was able to get a couple more loads hung out in the afternoon as well.

Another job was cleaning out the refrigerator.  I threw out some old food and while I was at it ended up giving the whole refrigerator a good cleaning.

It was also the day to get back to doing my exercises again and did a Body Electric workout.  I usually do it 4 times a week but have skipped doing it for the last 2 weeks.  I'll probably be a bit sore tomorrow - but it is a good sore knowing I got a good workout.

Yesterday Ken came home from the store with two HUGE cantaloupes and for our snack cut one in half and we each ate a half.  It was so good.  Very sweet and juicy.  Tonight we will eat the second one. At least that is something that is delicious and low calorie. : )

That's it for today.

May your Monday be a day that made you smile more than a few times.

Happyone

Happiness is excitement that has found a settling down place.

But there is always a little corner that keeps flapping around.
