8 kn today which takes me up to 255! Walking in the rain with the one I love: that would be me, myself and I. I actually had a nice walk today despite the rain. There were lots of birds flying around that I don't normally see when it's sunny, there must be some bug that they like that comes out in the rain. At one point there were a pair of ducks at the side of the street and I stopped to chat with them. I know that sounds weird but they didn't try to run away from me so I was pretty close to them. They sure are pretty.....I also saw a pair of swans who have started to make their nest in a crag of rocks at the edge of the water. If the water rises even a little bit the nest won't make it but I guess they know what they're doing. I am noticing another benefit to this walk. I have lost 15 pounds and I wasn't planning on that happening. Don't get me wrong: I needed to lose weight I just didn't think this would be the way to do it. I did my usual walk, stopped at my secret place and sat under a tree in the rain listening to the water hit the shore and then made my way over to the local coffee shop. I always give myself a little treat of some sort and today it was a yummy mint tea with steamed milk in a cozy chair. Still working on getting people to donate to Lakeshore Corridor Community Team via this walk......
Keeping on, living la vida fearless, Jan
