On Saturday, Melanie and I had a really nice walk down by the waterfront. Lots of flowers and lots of boats in the marina. Squalicum Harbor has numerous places to walk, and we covered around five miles before heading back into town.
I'm glad to see that Blogger has fixed its problem downloading images. I guess it lasted for several hours but there were enough people complaining that it got fixed relatively quickly. On Thursday, I did take this lovely picture and am sharing it now.

Fortunately for me, I am back in the swing of blogging, and although I contemplated going back and inserting the rest of the pictures in my last post, I figured nobody much cares, and this was the best of the lot. Hummingbirds love this flower.
This Memorial Day, I am remembering those who sacrificed everything to keep our country safe, as well as those dear loved ones I have lost over the years. A few weeks ago I visited the local cemetery, but I'll stay away today since it will probably be very busy. Instead, I'll go for a solitary walk around the neighborhood, mostly to get my daily steps in, as well as to break in a new pair of boots I bought on sale yesterday. I thought about simply walking to the coffee shop from home (around three miles) to break them in, but then sanity returned. What if they hurt my feet? It's much better to go out nearby and be able to return home sooner if necessary. So that's what I'll do. So far I like them very much!

I hope you will have a relaxing Memorial Day holiday if you celebrate it, and a relaxing day in any event, no matter where in the world you are.
:-)
A wise way to break in your new boots. The marina is looking good. That must have been a very pleasant walk.
ReplyDeleteI hope your new boots continue to be excellent.
ReplyDeleteMy heart hurts for people the world over who need no special day but are reminded each and every day.
That first shot is idyllic.
ReplyDeleteFor some people they can remember and celebrate the losses in war very privately.
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a peaceful place to walk.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week. :)
Glad you had a good day. We just do Remembrance Day.
ReplyDeleteSmart way to break in boots. That can be a painful experience. Loved seeing the coral honeysuckle. I and my hummers miss mine.
ReplyDeleteWe went to our town parade, then a church gathering. Hope those boots work out well for you.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely need waterproof everything. I know those boots will be well-worn soon. Happy trails!
ReplyDeleteThose photos are amazing! Love the top one especially. Have fun walking in those boots.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a good Memorial Day. We had a quiet one, didn't go anyway but did make some Mexican corn dip and some peanut butter brownies for the boys to snack on.
ReplyDelete...hope your holiday weekend was peaceful. I love the photo of your nearby marina!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful place you live in. I spent the weekend with visitors, sister and nephew visiting. Quiet and satisfying.
ReplyDeleteIt's June 1 now, as I catch up. I have been battling something that has attacked my digestive system and robbed me of energy so I am happy to just be at home.
ReplyDeleteAfter our Zoom meet up this morning I worked in the yard for a couple of hours, just light work, and now after lunch on the patio I am in my outside rocker in the shade, where I am happy that my laptop is picking up a strong Wifi signal and I can be lazy in the shade.
Nice looking boots! Keens ...my daughter really likes that brand of shoes:)
ReplyDeleteSuch a solemn day but a reason to be thankful for so many willing to stand up for their countrymen.
ReplyDeleteLove that first photo, Jan.
Hi DJan, I came over from Eye to see if you might have an update here on Hedi. Just wondering what happened to her … so sad. However, I did discover something new to me … your Flickr photos. Wow, what a wonderful way to organize and share your photos. Sure enjoyed looking at your travel photos. By the way, lastly, tonight begins Season 8 of Alone. Here is a link for more info …

Aaah… so it was a blogger problem. I guess I wasn’t working on a post at the time so I didn’t have to worry about it. I’m so glad it got resolved for you. The honeysuckle looks really pretty. We had those bushes in our Illinois backyard. Sigh…
