Decided to give it a try

I have been contemplating giving a morning walk at least a try as many of the blogs I follow are reaping the rewards of this activity.  George, of Our Awesome Travels...Barney of OFM Adventures...and Bigfoot of Old Fatass Fart.  

There are other lady bloggers like JO of Mom's Little Runaway who exercise on their stationary bike and Gypsy of  On The Road Again who goes to the gym. 

There is a church on the main road into the subdivision that has several lots, I suppose for future expansion.  One of those is used as a walking/jogging/running trail.

I was up at 5:30 a.m. waiting for it to get light outside just in case there was a rattlesnake lurking around.  If you read my blog you know by now how petrified I am of those creatures.

I made my way down the road but not before I had to take Paquito back who insisted on following me.  Soon the sun came up.

I started my walk at 7:20 a.m. but lost count on how many times I walked around the trail so just focused on the minutes.

Even here I could not get away from the pesky mesquite pods :-(

Pesky mesquite pods follow me everywhere.

It was getting a bit warm and sticky so walked back home at 8:00 a.m.  I usually do not pick up the trash people throw along our outside fence line until trash day who happens to be tomorrow but decided that since I was already out an about to get that chore out of the way.

Paquito was waiting for me by the gate and followed me around.  After I finished that I once again had to focus on picking up the pesky mesquite pods that had fallen since I last picked them up.

Finished my morning chores, took a shower and when I went to watch the news at noon fell asleep.  Woke up with a pain in my right foot. A while back I had tried to open the door with my foot as I was carrying laundry but it had closed and I kicked it too hard and hurt my toes. This walk revived the pain.

I do not know if I will be making this a daily, every other day or weekly event.  Only time will tell, I just wanted to give it a try.

We had a high of 106, a  low of 82 with a heat index of 108 degrees.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
