Outdoor Walkin’

There is finally a break in the rain. I’m not sure how long it will last. My Weather App indicates we have two days with no rain. I took advantage of the semi-clear skies and 35° temperature to take a walk around the park. I think it’s the first time I’ve actually walked outside in two months.

The walk was good. I completed the mile but boy, do my hips get achy. It’s not painful. It’s an achy soreness. It’s a discomfort that makes it difficult to walk.

Once I lose the ability to walk a mile, I’m going to be thinking the end is near.

It looks like we will get some snow on New Year’s Day. I hope that happens. I would like to see some snow.

Mt Spokane looks real nice today for the first time in weeks. They got three inches overnight and it looks like there is a good crowd up there today. But not me.

I filled up the bird feeder this morning as well as the squirrel feeder. I checked my rain gauge and it held two and a half inches of water. I told you it has been coming down.

It looks like it’s going to be a mellow day around the house for me. Susan, on the other hand, is cooking away…preparing her annual, traditional New Year’s Eve meal of Hoppin’ John.

We have plans to invite some friends over tomorrow evening and go see a movie. And the annual, traditional New Year’s Eve meal of Hoppin’ John.
