So Much for Going for a Walk

United States
April 1, 2016 12:44pm CST
The clouds grew heavy and poured down upon us. I was going to go outside for a short walk. I could bring an umbrella, but I am not one that likes to walk in the rain. So, I guess I'll focus on the housework and start putting the granny squares together for my granddaughter's afghan. And, as I promised my hubby, make that lemon meringue pie....finally. Maybe I'll get on that exercise bike for more than 5 minutes. Better a little than nothing.

Supposed to be colder this weekend here. Not looking forward to it. The temps seem to be going up during the week and I hope next weekend will be warmer.

I don't mind to walk in the rain, I just prefer not to have to take the dog out in the rain, I hate staying inside.

I can't stand getting cold and wet. Sometimes in the hot summer months the rain can be quite refreshing and that is the only time when I enjoy walking in the rain.

@CookieMonster46 I do have a golf umbrella, but it doesn't help when the wind is blowing the rain sideways.

I am with you on the walking. Rain or Snow, I am out, but I make it a point when it is good weather and I am not stacked with meetings, I will go out for a 20 minute walk at lunch.

I don't have the luxury of a scheduled lunch time in my work. I take it where I can grab a bite or two. However, when I have to go shopping for a client I park further away from the store, unless it is raining. LOL.

Oh what a poor excuse. The rain never deterred Gene Kelly, in fact he used to sing and dance in it.

@ElusiveButterfly So I take it that you are not inclined to follow his routine until it becomes a little drier.

Yay for Gene Kelly. LOL. He was also singing in the rain. I'll sing inside where it is much drier. LOL

It's been clear here no rain or snow today but it was windy this morning when I was out. Both my doggys are sleeping right now as they had a big morning. Lemon meringue pie oh how yummy.

Yes, and If I don't get my butt off this sofa and head to the kitchen the pie shell will be empty when he gets home. LOL

A usually walk with a friend at six every morning. We skipped it today because of the rain. I should walk later, but I have a feeling I won't.

Too soggy to go out for a walk now. It rained most of the day.
