Dying Little by Little

Never again will I walk in the afternoon or even in the morning after doing two loads of laundry, when there is no breeze and it’s hot and sunny out.
The photo shows how still the water was. It was like this for the last two days. I was on my way home from my walk, wishing someone would carry me home. 
. I still had 30 minutes to go.
I would have called my husband to pick me up, but he was out antiquing again and doing errands. My brother and his wife were at the gym.
From now on, I will walk first thing or after dinner on still days. I thought I would die!
Our nephew, my brother’s son, has been partying in Miami for the last two weeks. He begins a terrific new job on Wall Street in New York City next week. He’s visiting my brother now, so we will see him tonight! My brother invited us to dinner at his place.
Now I feel invigorated!

@LadyDuck It's winter here.. At home I meet my friends between 6:00 to 7:00. Sometimes later on weekends. It doesn't matter who gets there first, since the trails are in a winding circle. I just walk in the opposite direction until I find them or they me. The sun seems to rise around 6:30 here, and I won't go out unless it's up and light enough.

There is a list that keeps getting bigger of things I will not do again.

@TheHorse I wanted to go to Machu Picchu. And I´m not sure if Morocco is starting to be out of bounds too.

And to think that the very sea can get stormy.
One should never venture in the sun unless it is early morning or late evening Glad you managed to reach home in one piece.

@allknowing I will only roam at sunrise and sunset. Don’t laugh, but I almost asked a complete stranger for a ride home!

Thank you! It's one of my most favorite places to walk down here. It was the hot sun that got to me and lack of a breeze. It was only 9:15 and 67 degrees when I left the condo. I almost brought a little jacket!!!
Have a nice walk to the $ store and library.

It`s hard for me to walk if the sun is too much. Good thing you finished your walking with that kind of weather

@DianneN I'm so ready for spring... but I shouldn't complain. We were in Manitoba last year at this time. The temps were unbelievable!!

@Hate2Iron I can only imagine. I've only been to Canada three times. Twice it was in the summer, and once in April. We were in Toronto and they had the same heat wave we were having in Connecticut at that time.

@DianneN Today is wonderful. It is 56 out. But a cold front is coming that will drop us into the 20s overnight.

@wolfgirl569 Our son is experiencing the same type of crazy weather. They had a bit of snow this morning, but it melted. I feel bad for the animals.

I cannot even imagine. If we have that kind of stillness chances are a thunderstorm is brewing.
