My Daily Walks

[forestofglory]

I take a walk every day I'm able. It's fairly mild form of exercise but it one that I'm able to sustain. I mostly just walk near my house, though sometimes, I'll go to a local park or drive to my parents house to walk with them.

I live in hilly neighborhood, the streets are twisty and don't make a nice grid. It can be confusing to get around. However unlike some places I've live there is sidewalk everywhere, though on a few narrower streets the cars park on the side walk making it not very useful.

As a creature of habit I have two regular routes, and longer and shorter one. On days when the weather is bad, or I'm in a hurry I'll take the shorter route, but mostly I take the longer route. The short route generally takes me half and hour and the longer one 45 minutes.The longer walk goes by a small park with a playground and a water fountain. Assuming that I can maintain social distance I like to stop there and drink some water.

A lot of people have low water gardens with flowers of succulents. Plus is you stand in the right place their are view of the bay, so its very pretty to walk around. Right now there are still a lot of native iris which are my favorite.

That sounds lovely - having hills definitely helps add a little exercise element in there.

Thanks for sharing a glimpse of that area! I miss it.

Also in response to your posts about goals, I am so impressed with all the beautiful quilts you make!
