July 29: Dedicated to the Wild Ones

Walkin' after dark, solo, distant,

and cooler than any other time this week

but gotta watch one's step to keep from face-planting over things that would be apparent in the light of day

I saw a fox carrying its prey,

trotting just ahead of me across the street.

Intermittently lit by the few streetlights or car headlights going off the other way at the round-about 

Where was it going? Home to the kits?

Such a rapid, focused journey.

Where do the wild ones live in the middle

of the paved and residenced landscape - how close by?

Too dark, and I am feeling skittish and alien now.

Turned for home

Dedicated to the Wild Ones

July 28: Dedicated to getting it over with

And on we go

That was Tuesday, I guess

Another day

Slow and solo tonight, after the storm

I was surprised the scattered storms didn't repeat

and drive me back indoors

Unfortunately, the earlier cloudburst did nothing

to relieve the oppressive weather

Dedicated to getting it over with

July 27: Dedicated to a crummy miserable day

July 25: Dedicated to Summer Nights

Belated by a day, take two:

 Once again, a last minute walk before the Fade to Black

Friday night duo distant.

"Feets, don't fail me now!"

Dedicated to Summer Nights

Friday July 24: Dedicated to Tomorrow is Another Day

AHA! 

You all thought perhaps I didn't do my walk last night, 

didn't you? 

Well...YES! I DID IT

Duo, with my husband, earlier than as is our wont

because of worries of encroaching storms 

- which didn't end up arriving, by the way - 

but we stayed distantly in tandem for our usual route 

along the lesser trafficked lanes of the neighborhood

Dedicated to doing it now, posting it tomorrow 

Tomorrow IS another day, after all. 

(Or tomorrow WAS going to be another day...but now it is today? 

Or It's always a day away - as ANNIE would say 

- - - ? 

or I give up

You get it.

Posted Saturday, Walked Friday

July 23: Dedicated to QUICK

Dedicated to getting a quick jaunt 

done

No time for artsy-fartsies,

philosophies, 

or fantastical musings
