Thursday



As soon as we get seated in the go cart, Toby delivers a sloppy wet kiss, first to me . . .

. . . And then to John.

Then he’s ready for his adventure.

After lunch, we walked down our favorite shaded sidewalk and then drove Toby’s go cart around Highlander Park over the shell path.

When we got home, I picked two buckets of avocados using our picker that a former neighbor gave us when he moved.

I got about 40. The next time I pick some I’m going to need the ladder. There are still 100 or more on our three trees. I’ll make deliveries to the neighbors in the morning.

We had a Pub sub for lunch, so we stayed home and had our normal lunch for dinner. We’ve had the best run of peaches this summer.

After our Highlander Park go cart expedition, I rode my bike south on the Pinellas Trail, all the way to Clearwater. I stopped at Stevenson Creek to take a couple of pictures.

This is the first day without rain in a while. It was nice to be able to be outside.

On the way home, I stopped at the outdoor gym at Weaver Park to stretch and do sit-ups. I’m resting my shoulder until October.

We had a rebate card from our recent flea and tick and heart worm prevention purchase, so this morning we took the car to load up on groceries. But first, we walked. We parked at Publix and walked to the restrooms on the causeway. Then walked back to shop.

The temperature was 83-85 degrees with a light breeze. Beautiful weather.

The water was very clear today.

That’s under a couple of feet of water.

I love the wood stork’s pink feet. We saw him at Lake Saundra on our last walk of the day.

This evening’s thunderstorms keep getting pushed further and further back, now expected around 9:30. We’ve had no rain all day for a change.

Miles walked: 10.2

  1. I cancelled my workout this afternoon. I ahead walked, worked in the yard, played tennis and worked out at Cap 10. My body was sore, I didn’t sleep well last night so today I rested. I went to the senior citizens movie day at Knollwood it was 42. About Jackie Robinson breaking into all white baseball in the 40’s. So good

  2. Sounds like a full day for both of you. I have been sooo lazy for the past 2 1/2 weeks. I’ve missed my gym but it will be hard to get back in the rhythm. Going to Danville (Gingerbread House) tomorrow with Joan, Jan, and Donna ( new friend) .Cute smooch from Toby.
