I thought that instead of making a Tired Tuesday post, I would take a nice walk, take some pictures, and do a Pedestrian, such as I have not done in a while. Unfortunately, it started raining just as I was about to start my walk. It has not stopped yet. There is every chance I will take a walk in the morning, but it will still be dark, making pictures ineligible (I’ve tried). Perhaps I could share a few pictures from previous walks and talk about where I would like to walk to next time.
Graveyards are always interesting.
Here is a picture from August 2020, taken at my beloved Herkimer Historic Four Corners. It is Herkimer Reformed Church. I am fascinated by the graveyard. Old gravestones are always so evocative. Many of my walks and runs do take me by the Historic Four Corners.
I love a grey sky!
Here is my own neighborhood in August 2021, on an evening similar to tonight. This picture, of course, was taken before the storm. If I had gone for my walk earlier, I might have taken such a picture today. However, it is a useless exercise to pine for what might have been.
I think it is looking a little worse these days.
This picture is from August 2018. I often walk or run on Washington Street and see this former school. I am always so sad to see a building go to waste. Wouldn’t it be nice if somebody bought it and made it into something fun, like an arts center or antique mall? I have neither the wherewithal nor the business expertise for such a project. I don’t even know if the building is in good enough shape for any use, but it is fun to speculate.
Pretty!
I close with a picture from my own backyard in August 2018. The Black-Eyed Susans are still there, although there are some other uninvited plants growing there as well. Perhaps I can get a picture of them tomorrow. I would also like to cut a few to put in a vase in my house.
In the meantime, I am over 300 words and hope my readers have been at least mildly entertained. I hope to go for a real blogging walk soon.
