A walk and a visit

The temperature was 58 degrees under cloudy skies when I started out on my walk this morning.  I left a little earlier than usual because we woke up a little early.  I didn't take my umbrella because it wasn't raining when I left but by the time I got to the lake there was a light drizzle.  It drizzled on and off during all of my walk but I never did get wet, just damp.
It was very quiet around the lake and I only saw a handful of people and they were all runners.

The geese seemed to be enjoying the rain on the lake.

 And this turtle was stopped in the middle of the path taking in the shower.

The birds were all out too and I got lucky and saw a blue bird.  As usual all the birds were singing their happy morning songs.
It was nice to hear the rain dripping down through the leaves and even though it was drizzly I enjoyed my walk. : )
I took 12,624 steps which for me was 6.1 miles.

I'm posting earlier than usual today because later this morning my son, David and my two youngest grandkids are coming down from NJ for a visit. 
I have the bread machine going and I'm going to make chocolate chip cookies which the kids know I always have on hand.
For dinner we will have baked ziti and a salad with the home made bread.
It should be a great day!! : )

A happy day to you all.

Rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life.
