August 31: Dedicated to Bursts. Dedicated to surprises

Rain, rain 

I don't care if you go away
 

or not

Cool and pretty and calm

dull as ever

walking solo in the afternoon

Surprising little burst of color 

here and there

in the grey

Dedicated to bursts of color

Dedicated to surprises 

 
when they are happy ones

August 30: Dedicated to moving right along

Sad weekend for me. 

 Today would have been the 
2020 Annapolis Ten Mile Run.

Not this year.

2020 has unfolded differently than expected for most of us.
 Statement of the obvious. 

Understatement of the obvious? 

I am still walking solo while Jamie suffers with shingles. 

I'll be glad to move on. 

I think tomorrow the Library is doing a Limited Reopening 

with Distancing 

and extra safety procedures  

The big branch, not my tiny branch

Still. That's something

Dedicated to moving right along.

August 29: Dedicated to small gifts

Dark and rainy and grey all day. 

I lost track of the hours, 

so started my solo distance 

walk/run/jog-thingy way late...

but I got it done

and it actually felt pretty good

At least it wasn't so HOT

 ~

Dedicated to these small gracious gifts.

August 28: Dedicated to SHADE

Ugh

Too darn hot

Too darn mid-afternoon

But we have an appointment to see a house in Sykesville later

so it's now or never. 

Next time perhaps I'll opt for never! 

Spent the whole bare mile 

on a quest for the shady side of the street 

(there mostly wasn't one) LOL

Dedicated to

 SHADE

August 27: Dedicated to what boredom masks

Bored

[We weren't allowed to use that word 

back in the day in Terry's class] 

I went solo and distant

Hot again, but not unbearable 

at near dark to full dark

Dedicated to what boredom masks

August 26: Dedicated to feeling free and easy

Ramblin' and amblin' 

solo and distant, with no promises to keep

free-wheelin' sans wheels

After a stressful day 

more VW poltergeists or gremlins plaguing me 

it was nice to have absolutely no goals tonight

Dedicated to feeling 

free 

and

easy

August 25: Dedicated to NOT being a math major

Tonight! 

SOLO and over-shot! 

I don't quite know how I did it, 

but I seem to have overshot 

my 225-mile challenge mileage

LOL 

As of last night, I calculated I had .619 of a mile to go

So I retentively and fastidiously finished .619 

before continuing my walk 

(Distant & solo) 

But as of TONIGHT, on the results webpage 

I was already OVER the 225 last night?

 I truly do not understand 😒

Oh, well. Dedicated to not being a math major!
