Pics From the Walk to Prove I Did It

Totally stole this from Maryanne Pena, but she's in Lake Tahoe this week-end.  I'm pretty sure she can't hurt me from there.  Plus, I'm reasonably sure that she really doesn't care.  So the idea here is that I take a pic to prove that I went a-training.  Three walks a week = three pics.  Today you get two bonus ones because I didn't do this last Saturday.

Okay so this pic is tells you what town you actually in being as it's the middle of nowhere.  I live in Floridale.  This sign is exactly one mile from my house. There and back 2 miles...only 11 more to go.


I'm not saying we live off the beaten path or anything.  Check out the early morning down my street.  You can see the North American Tinsel in the bottom of the picture there.  Bonus from walk near woods:  when you run into a spider web, you have instant interval training trying to get it off while making sure there are no spiders on your body.  I'm getting the shivers again just thinking about it.


One can just see the poetry in the flower growing out of the pavement,
can't one?  The small blossom defeating the odds to create beauty where
there is just stone....or some crap like that.  I took a pic before something stepped on it.  I like it.


If not wrong...and I'm never wrong these are Forget-Me-Nots.  If I'm right and that's actually correct, the legend goes that a knight gave these to his lady fair before going off to battle and told her to "forget-me-not" while he was off fighting for king and country.  Personally, I think that's terribly romantic and I love these flowers because of it.  If I'm wrong and those aren't Forget-Me-Nots... well then...I feel cheated.  Then they are just little purple flowers that the girls like to pick for me which is so super sweet i just can't stand it!


I was so excited to see this really big butterfly that I chased it down just for you people, so I hope you enjoy the pretty bug.  I was thinking of you Sandi and Gwenda!

So there you go...proof I'm training.  It's still hard, and no, I don't like it.  I'm doing it anyway.  So there Fat Cells...take that.
