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

Drizzly

Cloudy when I first started walking and then drizzly rain.
I had left my umbrella in the garage drying out from yesterday
so didn't have it with me.
I didn't mind getting a bit wet though because the temperature
was 68 and it kept me nice and cool.

John was out walking Prim and they didn't seem to mind the rain either.

Walked through town going up and down the side streets


and went to the DG Market where I turned around and headed back.


On the back through town I walked up behind the house where
we used to live when we lived in town.


Continued out of town and headed down the main road
and turned around here and went back to the Jeep.
By this time the drizzly rain had stopped.


😊    ☁️    🌧    ☁️

Cloudy this morning but still washed the sheets and hung them
out to dry.
It wasn't long before the sun came out and it ended up being a sunny day.

I should have been doing some house cleaning in the morning
but I started in on the recipe project and didn't stop till lunch time.

After lunch I did have to get some house stuff done.
Did that and then sat out on the porch and read.

Hope you enjoyed your Monday.
Thanks for coming by.

Sometimes a walk in the drizzling rain is perfect.
I bet you're making good progress on the recipe project and that has to feel good!

Wouldn't mind a drizzle of rain in my part of the UK!
Nice that you sat out on the porch and did some reading.

All the best Jan

Your town is pretty even in the drizzle!

Sounds just like our day here, drizzle most of the day.

We haven't had a drop of moisture in a couple of months but we're inching ever so closer to our rainy season. I'm looking forward to it!

We were happy to have the rain for the garden. Glad it didn't interfere with you being able to walk.

After reading how you are doing your recipe project, I decided to change my original idea because yours made more sense. I've gotten through one binder with just the sorting out of recipes that were just really taking up space. I still have one large binder to sort out and two smaller ones. With it being canning season now, I don't have as much time to work on it as I did previously, but I will continue on until it's finished.

We had a little drizzle here, not enough. Great views from your walk. Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.

We could use some drizzly rain here. It would be interesting to walk about houses we've owned in the past. Hope your Tuesday is going well.

Drizzle would be great here in our area where we have so many wildfires going right now. I think it's interesting to go past houses we used to live in to see what the new owners are doing with the property. Have a good Tuesday. See you again soon!

Sounds like a very sweet and peaceful day. Wish that you could send us some of your rain. We have so many fires burning in our state and rain would be a true blessing.

Nice drizzly walk! We could use some rain around here!

A drizzly rain doesn't keep a dedicated walker home! Sounds like you had a lovely Monday.

A drizzly walk is always a great way to cool off.

So glad it was only a drizzly rain and not a heavy one. Janice
