We're Walking...

Beginning a couple months back, I have been trying to get a walk in at lunch . Part of this is about wanting to lose 5 pounds, and being unsuccessful, and part is working where there is a great place to walk close by and wanting to take advantage of it.

When I worked here previously, I walked All. The. Time.  Well. Not all the time…I was working, after all.  I mean I walked almost every day.  Especially through the Dee-vorce, walking through my lunch helped me maintain my sanity, I do believe.

Anyway.  ANYWAY!  So I have forced myself to #1 put down the Kindle, and #2 put down the knitting, and #3 walk out the door and #4 breath some fresh air.

I have seen some interesting things, too, among them an eagle, a muskrat (I think), an osprey (I think), the ubiquitous Canadas, mallards, a heron, and now…the Poudre flowing full and flowers are blooming.

Well.  I thought to myself, I should bring my fancy smancy camera for my walkabout one day.  So I did.  Unfortunately, lots of fine feathered fellows thought to pose for me, and being successful has it’s drawbacks.  I am now rewarded and might have to tote that puppy more often!

Here’s is where I walk, and here is what I saw.

The river, usually not this high.  I know...by eastern standards, it is more of a 'crick'.


Woodsy-type places.


A Canada pair.


A flicker (like a woodpecker).



And some flowers...

Not great photos, but giving a inkling of why I like to get out at lunch. (Clicky for biggy...)

I hardly ever win...

...anything, or so it seems. Probably like that for most people. Look what arrived yesterday in the mail! My winnings from Crazy Aunt Purl's Sweepstakes for the daily drawing....
(Notice the Cat Who Would Be Queen, basking in the sunshine.) My only regret is that it is a bag of flavored Cheetos. Alas, I am a purist, but on the upside, I didn't scarf them down in one sitting last night.
The forecast for the weekend said warm, but windy. It has been wonderfully sunny and not breezy at all. Yesterday, Wonderful Guy got out on the Bandit. We took the Best Dog Ever for a walk after. It's suppose to get warmer today, and we are so getting out to do something. Anything!


So I am outa here!

  • Welcome...

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
