Walking!

Keesha - Yes, that's the general idea - furniture, all the kitchen stuff, tools, patio furniture etc all go. Usually a 3 day event from 7 am till 1 pm. There are 4 or 5 companies out here that do this all the time. check out estatesales.net - I have them send me email for sales within 10 miles. I may skip going for several weeks, then go to two or three in one day. 15 or 20 minutes is about all I need but my new SO can spend an hour at each one.

I need to get an early start on my walk in the morning -it's beginning to heat up.

Tonight I did 31 minutes, same route. I'm going to go by the minutes, rather than the miles. They used to say shoot for 30 minutes of cardio, 3 or 4 times a week. Mowing the back lawn will count. (See, I'm making excuses already. lol)

I've never been to an estate sale either. Sounds interesting. It's become rather commercialized here. Big events. Lots of professional sellers show up early. Just remembered I went to a farm equipment estate sale once years ago.

Good job, everyone!

Yes 30 minutes 3 or 4 times a week is excellent and I agree that mowing the lawn should be included. So should raking . Lol

You’ve never been to an estate sale either. Now I don’t feel so left out. We’ll have to add it to our bucket list of things to do.
Good job Nancy. You’re doing this :thumbsup:

Well thank you for the info Hoot! Gosh! These things sound very organized. I will check them out online and see if I can get the same thing. We are redoing our entire kitchen and are in need of some things and this would be a good way to get them without spending too much. Plus there’s the ‘unique’ factor to consider. I think I could spend a bit of time looking around at stuff. My SO would be twiddling his thumbs waiting impatiently. Lol!

Have fun tomorrow.
 

Last night I did NOT go walking. :( Had an excuse. Lots of stuff to do in the afternoon, including spraying some weeds in the country, and grocery shopping, and by the time I got back home, I was burned out. Tonight I see no good reason not to walk. (Note, I didn't exactly commit. ;))

WHAT? :shrug: Since when ? :rofl:

Ok so yesterday I walked between 6 & 7 kilometres but today I only did an even four.
I’m liking the idea of wearing the skorts. They are SUPER comfortable PLUS it gives my legs a chance to get some lovely colour on them ; while walking and smoking my weed in the country :grin:
That was funny.

Did my morning walk - 4 km and wished I had taken my camera with me.
There are some bright yellow flowers that pop up every spring and they look gorgeous right now. They actually grow in the spring water. It looks so pretty , so this afternoon I will go back and take a picture.

Have a great day :)
 
Meanderer, that was very cool. Great swing tune. The instrumental is impressive. I wondered if he was going to play that trumpet but once he did, he really played.

Thanks. That was fun.
 
Just checking in... Walked 35 minutes tonight, 83 degrees at 9 pm. :p New route. Ran across this sign, headed that direction, and got lost.

Pretty Yellow Flowers!

Food truck:lol:

This morning I had the pleasure of walking with my better half so needless to say, my walk wasn’t as far. His leaf blower isn’t working properly so I got to hear all about it. :grin:

Here are the pretty buttercup yellow flowers I promised. I actually look forward to seeing these every spring. They come up in a matter of days and are gone in a matter of days but they sure brighten up the walk.
I wish I knew what they were called. If anybody knows please let me know cause I’ve seen these same flowers for over 20 years now and still don’t know their name.

Happy Mother’s Day to my fellow walkers. I hope you have a fabulous day.

Last night we went on a great walk with my brother and his dog so we had 3 dogs with us.
It was fun. I have a picture of the view from the front of the house. The scenery was beautiful.

Today my husband took me for a special walk and bought me lunch which was delicious. He surprised me with dairy free salted caramel ice cream. Ohhhh yummmm. That’s why I’m still with him. :yes:


A few pics I took on the way. My girls chased these into the water. 8AF67200-3C34-42D3-879B-AC10D15CB741.jpg

Beautiful pictures of both your country walks, and the wildflowers, Keesha !
I think that those little yellow flowers are a species of violets. When I looked at the pictures, I could see that the leaves looked almost the same as the purple violets in my yard; so I looked up “yellow violets” and sure enough, they look like what you have in the picture.
Violets are edible, both the flowers and the leaves, so I try to keep mine watered, and they come up all over in my yard , especially in the spring when they are blooming.
I pick the leaves and use them in salads , scrambled eggs, and green smoothies. The little flowers are beautiful edible decorations in a salad, too.

Hey Happyflowerlady.
Well thank you very much for the compliments and trying to help me figure out what these flowers are. I see that we are very similar in the fact that we both love flowers and enjoy eating healthy things. Spring flowers have such healing qualities in them.

I don’t think these are downy yellow violets. They are VERY similar but my yellow flowers don’t resemble pansies at all. If you observe the flower itself , they are completely different. Mine are brighter yellow and have a distinct circular centre different altogether from the violet one.

Your downy yellow pansies sure look pretty though and I’d be just as thrilled to spot them growing around here also.
Thanks again . That was so sweet. :heart:

Thirty minutes even tonight.?... Along the way ... statue of "Vince Dooley, on the Shoulders of Two Offensive Linemen," taken from the backside. They didn't look that offensive to me, and Dooley's backfield is *not* in motion. :) :rolleyes: :playful:

Thirty minutes tonight. That cartoon about dance walking got me interested in the concept. It's called Prancercising. I may try this next time. :playful:
