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

Rainy day

It was a rainy morning but the weather report said it would be clearing up mid morning so I decided to walk a little later when it cleared up.  In the meantime we had breakfast and I started on my morning routine.  Mid morning it was pouring rain outside so I waited a bit longer and kept thinking I should have just went walking in the morning in the rain.
Lunch time came around and it was still raining.  After lunch it was just about stopped so I finally left on my walk.  It was 42 degrees and a mist was falling and then it rained for a little bit and then it finally stopped altogether but not before and I got a little wet. But still it was nice to be outside and I walked the farm loop and around town.  A few more cars around on the main road but on the farm road not a one.

These are on Farmer Bill's horses.  I don't see them often  because they are usually in another field.
I didn't look at my pedometer before I walked so don't know how far I walked but it was probably 5 miles or so.  I cut it a little short.

A picture I took along the way.
I haven't done much of anything today. 
Well it is just afternoon - still time to do something productive. : )

Hope your day is a happy one.

It is not easy to walk alone in the country
without musing upon something.

We have had lots of blue skies today, though the forecast for later is quite puzzling. With today's high int he mid-fifties, how can there be snow on the ground in the morning?!?

Glad you finally got to walk. We had that almost-all-day rain yesterday. Today was absolutely gorgeous. Even the birds were singing today!!! BUT--the cold and snow come back tomorrow!

Love that Dickens quote.
Hugs,
Betsy

I know I've said this before but I've always loved a rainy walk. I actually love a rainy walk more than a sunny one!!!
