Had a short walk today because my Mooma was sick, her husband is currently out somewhere being a jerk, and my husband was late home from work (hey, that rhymed!) Anyway, I had a late start and since the sun is setting about ten to eight now, I only walked about half-way through Birdland before heading up Second to home.

I saw a few people wearing sweaters and it’s 70 (or was) about an hours before sunset.

It was in the high 60’s this afternoon – wore a light sweater and ended up regretting it later on when the sun finally came out and I started to get a bit on the warm side. Saw a bunch of bumble bees, a white heron and a boatload of grasshoppers.

Did the Birdland route and listened to old time radio broadcasts on my phone, relaxing stuff. If I had to choose between radio and TV I’d have to go with the radio – it’s all in your mind and isn’t confined by someone else’s vision of what is or what could be.

Kind of warm and sweaty, a few Monarch butterflies lumbering around by the river and the scissor-cut cicadas were singing their hearts out.

Walked the usual way though it was cool, humid and drizzling like someone had forgotten to turn off the shower: I’m currently damp but a few minutes sitting in front of the telly will warm me up… lol

Walked my favorite way again – an automatic 4 miles. Saw some geese and a guy walking his doggies. Warm and sunny, slighty humid. The cicadas were singing their songs.

Walked down by the river, again, but this time I had an Opposite Day and walked south and west instead of south and north, whoopee. The homeless dude underneath the 2nd Avenue bridge was in his usual spot – I caught a glimpse of him and his large red water jug out of the corner of my right eye. Warm, sunny and not too many clouds.
