Those walks with my dad are getting rarer

 I get walking and do a lap before my dad joins me on my walk.

A decent amount of walking my pace has slowed down in an hour to 4 km instead of five km for an hour. I have a mouth 👄 full of red man chew or americas greatest chew.

Sort of see it in the photo.

The first bit of walk the walk was chilly so we both came with jackets but took the layers off  once on the the walk.

We talking camping in September and I say the mountain leafs changed at the end of August and on the prairie it changes at end of September. So it should be a beautiful time of year to go.

All ready I see the odd patch of leaves 🍂 that are yellowing but that’s 5% or of 95% of trees leaves 🍃 🌳 that are completely green.

Dixie is still in the 25 leaderboard for August.

She been good 😊 even with two days of little walks instead of bigger ones.

On my days off we had rain yesterday and lots of it. I tried to find people to go for blogging but got more no’s and just decided to clean the house. Cleaned a room and two drawer in the kitchen , fixed a clog sink and two loads of laundry 🧺. And dishes and cleaned the kitchen sink.

Dixie after our first lap.

The park looks pristine and just a wonderful place to be.

It got to be a hot 🥵 day I’m still sweating 🥵 at home from the walk.  Absolutely 💯 hot 🥵 day out and very humid.

Dixie hasn’t been sleeping good 😊 nether have I, but I did get a good sleep last night her seven day average is suffered just like mine.

I blame the change of weather.

My dad and mom have been MIA most the summer so I haven’t got to walk with them at all. I think it’s there first time in Sunridge park this summer with them.

They’d just been

Busy with grandparents stuff.

The other night I had three raccoons 🦝 roaming the yard by the garbage 🗑️ container 🫙. At least that’s what I think they were when I zoomed in on there tails.

Looked like a family of them.

I had an eventful day! 

Walking in the park with your dad and Dixie, even if the weather was a bit chilly at first, must have been nice. It's great that you're enjoying the changing seasons, especially the beautiful autumn colors that will soon begin to show!

It’s impressive that Dixie is still holding her spot on the leaderboard despite a couple of less active days. It seems like you both are doing a great job keeping up with your exercise routines.

Cleaning and organizing when it’s raining can be a productive way to spend the day. It sounds like you accomplished a lot! And how interesting to encounter raccoons in your yard. They can be quite cute (from a distance!).

With your parents having been busy this summer, hopefully, you’ll get more opportunities to walk with them as the weather changes. It sounds like they could use some time in the park as well.

Keep enjoying your walks and the beauty of nature around you! 

I also read that cottonwood Park is now allowing dogs
