Setting out on Wednesday at 10 am. Chilly morning again. Here's my road heading out of the Flat.
The old double wide is still in the field but ...
the new double wide is up on the hill where the old one used to live.
The variation today was to take the road to the left. It's at the first rise and
it's all uphill. I figure it's a good way to condition myself for climbing the Acropolis in Athens in April.
Taking a breather and looking back down the way I came. When the going is steep I tack, zig zagging like a sailboat up the hill.
Only a few houses on this road but a real climb. I feel it in my lungs.
A shade stop because I'm getting warm.
Ok, time to turn around. My walking time had to be shortened today because we were scheduled to get our flu and covid vaccines at noon.
Going down is harder on the knees. Next time I'll bring my hiking stick because I had to watch my foot placement so I didn't slip on the rocky surface.
A closer look at the new double wide on my return. The two sides are not attached yet and I have to wonder what happens to the tires.
It's placement will give the tenants the best view.
What colors I see are muted. When I look closer the trees' leaves are just shriveling up and dropping. Our lack of rain is taking a toll on the fall colors.
Heading home.
***
I got a shot in each arm. I took ibuprophen beforehand. Don't know if that will help the soreness or not. I'll let you know.
Who has gotten their covid and flu shots?
