My first try to walk at the lake, I made it to this bench, then sat while my friend went all the way around the lake. I met her at the gazebo and then we went for muffin, coffee cake and coffee. Not exactly a good balance of exercise to caloric intake for me.
My friends Jeff and Diane live in the yellow (mustard) colored house across the street from the tennis courts. You can't really see it, but on the far right is Denton the Dragon, just his sweet head shows next to the street sign. Jeff wrote a children's book, about Denton and his friends. It's really sweet.

Pretty landscapes and photos. I like 10 to Zen, great advice. Take care, have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteHope you also have a great week, Eileen! I loved your picture for Monday!
Delete...I was hiking in the Adirondacks and bench were a welcomed sight.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine...much more so than the level path around our lake!
DeleteEven just making it to that bench afforded you a wonderful view as you waited for your friend.
ReplyDeleteAnd she got so she could do 2 laps of the lake. I'm proud to do one, with many stops.
DeleteYou can no doubt walk farther than I these days with my gimpy foot. Ouch.
ReplyDeleteOh no, so sorry! I hope it gets better.
DeleteSuch a pretty spot for a walk--or to sit on a bench.
ReplyDeleteIt is that...and so many friendly people and dogs go by!
DeleteA short walk to the bench looks like a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the beauty. I see the dragon's head!
ReplyDeleteGood eyes. I need to go take a photo of the whole statue, which is maybe in wood...not whatever color he was in the book!
DeleteWe do what we can when we can, that's my mantra. I like that 10 to Zen, but doubt I will ever achieve it. Worrier here!
ReplyDeleteYes, there are the baby steps which we take...and can have pride in that accomplishment!
DeleteA bench is nice to see when you are out and about. I like the 10 to Zen great advice to try for it.
ReplyDeleteAnd just trying for the 10 to Zen is probably all anyone is expected to do.
DeleteSorry to read you have no stamina for walking these days. Good advice at the end.
ReplyDeleteEach day I have improved my slow, rest when needed, walking. Though of course I don't manage to go every day. It's so good when I can!
DeleteFall has been a bit slow.
