Serious Wind

Hello,

 

Because we don’t walk to church any longer, we take long walks other places. I just happened to hear that it was to get quite windy. We quickly ate our meal of left over ravioli from Thanksgiving and zipped outside to be met with the wind already in the neighborhood. We reversed our planned route to have the wind at our backs at least some of the time. It worked, but it was still a bit cool. No dilly dallying on this walk. We managed to get over 12,000 total steps for the day. We had taken a short walk in the early morning.

 

One thing it was not scary to go through the park as most of the loose branches were on the ground and not threatening. We went a different way thought a side street and saw a light pole that had not yet been righted. We were quite surprised to see that. I have not seen it anywhere else. Not sure if they just missed this one or what happened.

 

In the early part of the walk we only saw one other person. On the later part we met a bicyclist who then passed us on his return trip. We did see a girl on a bike with training wheels. She was doing quite well against the wind. Her dad was walking behind her. After that we probably saw about five to ten other walkers. I was glad to see that the weather is not stopping people from getting outside. Tomorrow might be a different time as it is supposed to get much colder with the wind bringing change.

 

Leroy and I will still go out, but perhaps the walk will be two or three shorter ones so we can warm up. I intend to go to the community garden and harvest more Red Russian Kale. That is only about half a mile away so it will not be the only walk of the day.
