Old People Can’t Walk Very Fast

Had a lovely day yesterday in Truro.  DH dropped me off about 9 a.m. and Kara and I went to the farmer’s market. I got some great organic kale, green beans, carrots, broccoli and spicy hummus.

Porter asked if I would like to go for a walk with him to the ‘nature path and pond’. I agreed and then found out by ‘walk’, he meant he would be on his bike and I would be half walking and half running,  yelling “Wait for me”! To which he matter- of -factly  responded, “Old people can’t walk very fast, can they”?  I only held his head  under the water for a short period of time!! 🙂

Porter asked me take a picture of this leaf and he artfully arranged it before I was allowed to take the shot.  Photographer in the making??

I watched some AUS (obligatory with hubby doing the colour commentary) and NCAA (for pure enjoyment) football in the afternoon.  Then I spent the evening reading, catching  up on the NS Bird Society Facebook page (not after 9 o’clock.. as promised!!), more football, yoga and meditation. Now THAT was a day!

Today started with an early morning walk.. caved in and took bins and camera.. still managed to get some real huffing and puffing in! Porter should have seen this old lady motoring along.. hahaha!

Fall flowers are SO pretty! This was in a ditch!

Fought the crowds at Costco and a quick stop at Michaels and Bed Bath and Beyond and I was beyond happy to get back to my little house in the woods.

Off to get green tomatoes cut up for chow making in the morning.
