Walking!

This afternoon walked with my friend,Liz who lives 2 floors above me in same co op apt building
We went 3 blocks,then decided to walk down the street where we both lived yrs ago.She &her family lived 4 houses away from where my siblings&I grew up.We were reminiscing who are neighbors were and some of the houses had changed looks over the yrs as we walked by
My next door neighbor,Pat also used to live on same street. I didn't know this until she moved in & told me Its a small world,the 3 of us didn't move out of the old neighborhood
 
I find it hard being motivated to walk in southwestern Ontario winters, but I get out for 30 minutes a day, minimum. When there is good snow I x-c ski. In the other 3 seasons I bike.

Health benefits are the reward and a good hike is great for the mood! I work from home so it gets me out of the house!
 
Walking will be a little easier soon, most of the snow is ice now. Will what happens tonight through tomorrow with all the rain coming in.
Two turkeys wandered by, Zeus got popped on the head by a wing. :ROFLMAO: Another little scuffle and he brought me two tail feathers. :devilish: Thats my boy, he doesn't kill unless he is hungry.
 
I think we are a bit ahead of you. Last week all the roads and paths were pure ice and really difficult to walk on. Then the weather got warmer and it rained so all the ice is gone. The roads are good enough to now jog on which I did today. I walked 2.2 kilometres with the dogs and jogged 2 kilometres on my own. It’s not far but it’s a start.

Nothing like getting popped on the head by a turkey or goose wing. Both birds are HUGE. The other day there were thousands of geese in the corn fields. They must have been migrating together and stopped for food. I’ve never seen so many geese in one place before.

Take care LL

Yes you are ahead of us, we still have ice and snow here and this is after the rain. Have been having a rough time with the ice, very slippery and know a few people that have been hurt. Now we have some soft spots with ice here and there. Today coming back from town one of the cottagers was stuck in a water dug hole from underneath. Summer tires of course, he was pleased to get some help. He had been ordered home. NO don't know by who..... :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :devilish:
See that wind up above? Think of how heavy the whole bird is.....lol
 
We still have a lot of snow and ice but at the moment our dirt road is no longer solid ice. The forest paths however are half ice , half thawed.

The other day I took an abandoned road path which wasn’t a good idea. It was flooded. Halfway down we had to turn back.

Cottagers are supposed to stay home anyway. Summer tires. Lol! Yep! City folk. Lol. Did you rat them out?😅

It seems somewhat eerie now. Normally I don’t watch the news but I’ll find something which leads me somewhere else. Then wish I didn’t see it at all. My curiosity makes me want to know what’s going on but when I do , I end up wishing I didn’t. The story of my life. 😂

I’m grateful I still have our girls and can still go for walks. Generally I am grateful but even more so lately.

50 minute forest walk today.

Went out today, longer walk. Found some sink holes. One car in one, tow truck dragging it out. It looked like he drove and purposely put his right front wheel in it. Right to the frame, one set of tracks on the dirt road and plenty of room.
I will not say now I have seen it all, cause they are proving how much more they can do.
:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :devilish:
 
Today I walked 3.5 kilometres through the forest. The paths are quite icy still in places but most of the ice and snow is gone.

The dirt roads are really muddy and I don’t want to bath the dogs. When I got home I went back out without the dogs and jogged 2 more kilometres.

Today I also did a 55 minute DVD of yoga & pilates.
It felt good.🥰

Put 3 or 4 hours of gardening in today which felt great. I’d forgotten how much I enjoy taking leaves and puttering around the garden cutting down my flowers, ornament grasses, peonies as well as unearthing pretty spring flowers.

A 4 kilometre hike through a different forest. They had thinned out the red pines so the smell of pine was still in the air. Today I was too tired to jog but did clean most of my windows which I’m happy about. They are gleaming now.
