September 30: Dedicated to the creatures of the fringes

 

Cool night tonight. 

We walked our Route,

after I'd been yanking and chopping 

yard and fringes jungle

 Dedicated to the creatures of the fringes

September 29: Dedicated to my Mama

 

             

       

 September 29, 2020

My mama took her last breath

 

 19 years ago today 

 

 

Dedicated to my Mama

 

 

September 28: Dedicated to being close enough

mugginess heavy in the air 

for today's duo, then solo walk jog/slog

Our same old, same old, 

double-headed cul-de-sacs routine

then my own random wandering add-ons 

with a handheld headlamp

it's getting dark so early now

until I'd worked it up to 4.28 miles

It's gettin' spookified out there

Too early for Halloween! 

Oh, well... close enough, I suppose.

 

Dedicated to being close enough

 

September 27: Dedicated to Shirley Jackson

Two-part run/walk 

 

tonight

 

Before and after calling the police 

 

about the continuing trespassing and vandalism next door

 

I still managed to get 5.46 miles completed 

by full dark 

even with the half hour I lost

 

I must say I am sick of this INVASION. 

I feel like we're next-door neighbors 

to Merricat and Connie 

from "We Have Always Lived in the Castle"

Dedicated to Shirley Jackson

September 26: Dedicated to that hope

Walk after the rain

Rainy Saturday

I forgot to join Zoom Yoga this morning, 

so when I felt like wimping out on the evening promenade

 I refused to allow myself to do so

I got in 3.29 miles in 59:55

Oh. 

Well.

Gee. 

It felt so much faster

Hoping I'll get faster again someday

Dedicated to that hope

 

September 25: Dedicated to half moons

Solo and quick 2 miles

Done once again 

Dedicated to half moons

September 24: Dedicated to knowing when to STOP

Solo, distant 5k

 That's what I bought the Soleus 

 

to tell me

 

Dedicated to knowing when to

 

STOP

September 23: Dedicated to Scarecrow families

Another day, another DONE

Duo and distant, just about dusk

Dedicated to scarecrow families

popping 

up 

all over

September 22: Dedicated to GOOD COUNTS

 Duo mostly; two miles for me, 

about 1.5 for my partner in traipsing

Wouldn't it be nice if this habit helped 

our cholesterol levels?

 

Dedicated to good cholesterol counts!

September 21: Dedicated to the letter D

Another bright fall 

 

afternoony-eveningy duo walk

 

Distanced, yup 

 

Dilatory..?      Maybe

 

Done, for certain 

 

A done duo dilatory 

 

distanced day's demise

 

Dedicated to the letter D

September 20: Dedicated to every day being a new beginning

It really is turning autumn! 

We took an earlier walk than last night, 

but evening is falling faster every day. 

 

We were duo for a slightly shorter version of our regular route 

- kids in the cul-de-sacs or what-not - 

then I did a randomly-wandering solo add-on 

 

to bring it up to 5k for myself.

I am so glad for the cooling days. 

 

Dedicated to every day being a new beginning.
