I have been way too sedentary with the bad weather, so I thought I would take a walk with my phone and make a Pedestrian Post with Pictures. For one reason, it was supposed to be warmer today: double digits at least! I wrote a post card to an aunt, thinking I could walk by the post office, put on a coat, hat, mittens, and boots (not in that order), and set out.
The beauty part about walking through the snow is that it is more of an effort than walking on bare pavement. Full disclosure: sometimes I went into the road and walked on bare pavement. I need to get out and walk more. My legs got tired easily!
I believe the time was accurate.
This is not the first picture I took, but I thought it would look good as the photo showing when I share the link on Facebook. It is on Albany Street in Herkimer, in front of Crazy Otto’s Empire Diner, which I did not get a picture of. Silly me. What I would have liked to get a picture of was Meyers Park. It was a grey and gloomy day, and the bare trees looked really cool against the sky. The gazebo looked a little forlorn, not at all how it looks when the bands are on it at the Herkimer Downtown ChowDown. But I had no faith in my abilities, and I could not decide which angle to shoot from anyways.
Yes, I stop here sometimes; judge me if you like (you know who you are).
If I had wanted to walk with a nefarious purpose, as I did on a long ago blog post, I could have stopped at The End Zone. Don’t think I wasn’t tempted. It was colder than I thought it was!
Another local watering hole of note.
Likewise, I did not stop at Pete’s Tavern. I kept walking, checking my watch to see how long I had walked. The wind picked up, and I was sorry I had not worn a scarf. I soon decided three pictures was enough, the walk was long enough, I was going home! By this time I had walked far enough that the walk ended up being just over a half hour. That seems healthy enough for me.
And my blog post is approaching 400 words. That seems healthy, too. I’ll try for a Mohawk Valley Adventure tomorrow.

I also need to walk more, per my Doctor and while I haven’t felt like going outside, I have been taking the stairs verses the elevator. The weather is gloomy here, at present and we are expecting rain tomorrow.
