November. 14

 

Walk at popson park with a drive around

Bryan and I sit down 2/3 through our 1 km walk

Bryan and I with Dixie were heading to the north side but I forgot my wallet and cards at home. So we decided to walk some where else.

We drove around to pick up my shoulder harness bag with notebook and wallet.

Walking for fifteen minutes a good walk around. We decided not to do a second lap. Days are getting to be a struggle to move and get stuff done. Dark days are hard. I think we only got 36 more days til the days start getting brighter. ☺️

Dixie climbs the leaderboard for November to 26 ranking from 28

Dixie doing good on her selective minutes these dark days. She ran into the water 💧 this morning, I got a bit skittish with her then, it makes me uneasy when she runs into the water 💧 at this time of year.

We check out the banks of the river to see how high the river is.

Looks lower than usual, but also quite similar to other years. I didn’t take the photo at my usual spot at the river to compare. So it’s hard to speculate 🧐.

Bryan buys us Tim Hortons coffee for me driving around the city 🌆 to go for a walk 

I had a great 😊 time walking. Would have like it to be longer but I’m also thankful for the shorter walks cause it’s getting harder to get motivated at this time of year.

Dixie is 19% above her breed. She has been super walkable with energy levels dipping in sunlight levels.

I’m happy Bryan is eager to walk once a day even if it’s only for fifteen minutes a couple times a day for getting a 1 km in.

He a good company walker. Just happy, 😃 makes me happy when it’s not complaining in the walk.

Although it’s understandable at this time of year why people get discouraged 🫤. I find myself feeling and emotions struggling.

I’m counting down days getting brighter. Something to look forward to.

It sounds like you had a thoughtful and reflective day at Popson Park with Bryan and Dixie! It’s great that you’re finding ways to stay active even when the days are dark and motivation can be tough.

Dixie’s progress on the leaderboard and her high energy levels are impressive! It’s nice to have a companion like Bryan who shares your enthusiasm for walks, even if they are shorter this time of year.

The detail about the riverbanks is interesting too—changes in water levels can certainly tell a story.

I can understand why you’re counting down to the brighter days; it can really lift spirits. Keep enjoying those walks, and it sounds like you’re all managing to find joy in them despite the challenges of the season! 😊

The watch says it’s plus seven Celsius outside my vehicle 🚗 said it was plus nine Celsius.

We’re very fortunate for the weather we are getting but in the otherwise it’s going to deplete the groundwater pretty quick if we don’t get any snow pack.
