Home today

I didn't look at the thermometer this morning but it was a hot one out there.  The sun was shining and there were no breezes at all. I walked around the lake and at least being near water made it seem a little cooler.
This picture is of the upper path I walk called the Bunny Trail, and yes there are lots of rabbits along it. : )

Not many people or animals about.  A nice quiet walk and as always it was so nice to be outside early taking my morning walk. : )
The Giant was nice enough to be watering the grass and flowers because once again I cooled off in the sprinkler.
I walked 6.2 miles.
Didn't find any coins yesterday or today but my coin total for the month of July is 85 cents - 2 quarters, 1 dime, 2 nickel, and 15 pennies.

I was going to go over to the old house this morning and mow the lawn but it was just too hot and I really didn't feel like it.  Maybe this weekend.  We are not going up to our land this weekend.  We are spending so much time there building that we haven't been getting the old house ready to sell and we really want to have it on the market this month.  Ken is pretty much done with all the little repairs and painting on the inside.  I will give it one real good cleaning just before we list it.  Now we have to get the outside looking a good.  A power wash and painting of the porch and fence should do the trick.

I gave myself a treat this morning and made a pancake for my breakfast.  I added strawberries and a banana to it.  I had just the exact amount of milk left to make the pancake and have a cup of it to drink.  I like to drink down a nice cold glass of milk after the pancake.  It kinda tops the whole thing off for me. : )

It's a home day for me today.  I'll be here all day.  For sure I'm going to make time to read some more of Little Women which I feel like I've been reading for ever so long.  I think that its just that I don't like it that much and it just doesn't hold my interest like it did the first time I read it when I was a kid.  In fact, I've just decided I'm NOT going to finish it.  I'll pick out another book later to read.

Hope your day is bright and sunny.

Wednesday

It was 68 degrees this morning when I started my walk.  It was spritzing rain during my whole walk but not enough to get me wet, just a little damp.  It was pretty much dry under the trees and when I walked out from under them the rain felt good and I stayed pretty cool. : )
I didn't walk any special route, just walked here and there and turned up paths and streets that hit my fancy.

Came across this little footbridge.  I've only walked here once before.  It's private property so I just walked over the bridge and turned around and walked back over it.

I've put the picture taken from the other side of the bridge on my photo blog - if anyone cares to take a look, click HERE.

I came across few people.
There were three deer along one of the paths and a couple of rabbits.  A pretty quiet walk and one that I enjoyed.

When I don't walk a route that I've mapped out, I have a tendency to walk a little bit farther.  I'm just enjoying my walk and don't realized how far I've walked.  That is what I did today and ended up walking 7.4 miles.

I read somewhere that Wednesdays are the best days for food shopping and I have found this to be true so I usually go to the commissary on Wednesday mornings.  Made a trip there today and now my pantry is nicely stocked once again.
A good trip to the store.  Made sure I stopped for all of those yellow lights so there was no chance of going through a red one! : )
Not many people out shopping and I was in and out pretty quick with no lines to wait on.

Now that everything is put away and I've had my lunch I'll do a few chores around the house and then I'm not sure what I'll be doing.  Sometimes I have so many things I want to be doing it is hard to decide what I what to do most.  I guess that is better than being bored and having nothing to do. : )

Hope you're keeping busy today doing something you are enjoying!!
Happyone
