We got the day busy by setting off on our walk with the trash to drop at the dumpsters. The morning was a bit warm and got hot later. Our path was along the golf course fence to where the maintenance road circles around the golf course. But that changed as it got hotter and hotter. When we made the turn onto the maintenance road the OFM had become a shade hunting fool. A little ways up the road was the entrance to the hike/bike trail along the waters edge. It is shaded for nearly all of it. So away we went in the shade of the nice trees. We got to the turn in the trail and started back to the Castle still chasing shade. But the temp had risen noticeably and it was barely 0900. By the time we got back to the Castle we had done a nice 2.6 miles mostly in shade. There is a good chance we will chase the shade again tomorrow.
The rest of the day was spent shopping for Castle things and birthday presents for all the July birthdays. Some success was had and a bunch of nothing chosen was our results.
This evening the OFM actually took a nap from all the running around he did trying to have tooooo much fun in the heat.
I am some glad you are not in Texas! Even being in the shade doesn't help! Have a good day tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI was doing the same thing on my bike ride yesterday through the farm lands nearby. I couldn't wait to get to the trees up ahead in different spots so I could get some shade. Interesting how that works.
ReplyDeleteShade sure helps.
