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

A Rainy Walk

 

Sunrise 5:49
Was at town and walking at 6:20.
It was 63 degrees and windy.
This is one day that the rain DIDN'T hold off for me.
I didn't wear my rain gear because it was too warm.
I brought along a hoody but soon took that off because I got too
hot and figured I would rather just get wet.
It wasn't a hard rain so was actually nice walking in the rain.
The rain would stop once in a while and the wind would dry me off a bit.
Then it would rain and I'd get wet again.

Walked around one of the cemeteries and then over to the ball park.


Back to the pond, then through town and over to the industrial park.
Walked around there and back to the Jeep.

Didn't see anyone else out at all.
Only the usual people in cars, trucks, and buses!

By lunch time it was sunny, cool, and windy.

The other two books I had on hold at the library were ready for
pick up and also a DVD for Ken so we went and picked them up after lunch.

In the lobby there are always some books that are for sale.
I picked up this 4 in one book that cost 10 cents.
I gave Connie a quarter and told her to keep the change.
(I'm a big spender) 🙂



For supper we made nice big salads with shredded chicken on top.
Another one of my favorite suppers.
I seem to have a lot of them.


Happy Thursday and thanks for. popping in for a visit.

"Let us trust God, and our better judgment to set us right here after. 
United we stand, divided we fall."

I just got home from the library. I bought a book there for $1.25 which I thought was a good deal. Apparently it wasn't as good of a deal as yours. :)
Your supper salads look yummy.

That was money well spent! I love a good bargain.

Your talk of walking in the rain makes me think of the old song - Singing in the rain. So, next time, do some singing and dancing in the rain. :)
Your book was a great bargain!
The salad looks good!

We have been doing more waling lately now that the days are longer. I have walked in the rain many times. No by choice though.
Haha.

That 4-in-1 was a great find! Our library also sells books for 10 cents. I love salads too. Hope you have a good Friday. See you then.

You had a nice walk in spite of the rain.
I like those 4-in-one books. There's usually a couple that are really enjoyable even if you're not familiar with the authors. At a dime you got a good deal.

I admire how dedicated you are to the walking. I would have given up if it was raining.
You are a big spender and a good tipper.
That salad looks and sounds tasty.

We love salads in the Summer. Patrick Henry's words could not ring true so much today. Ran on tap for later today here. Hope you have a great weekend! Janice

We were talking about cool dinner meals today. It's hot here and the rain showers keep missing us. Enjoy your afternoon!
