We are officially immersed in those dreaded “Dog Days of Summer” so, no wonder this wicked heat and high humidity is so unbearable, leaving us wilting on this Wednesday.
I would like to know what the above young lady’s secret is?
This flower child always looks as fresh as a daisy when I pass by on my daily jaunts to Council Point Park. I may feel perky enroute to the Park, but on the return trip, not so much, and, on days like today, I’m draggin’.
Today is National Simplicity Day, so I am keeping this post short and sweet, just like my walk this morning, but I’m leaving you with a message:
Don’t hurry, don’t worry. You’re only here for a short visit, so be sure to stop and smell the flowers. ~ Walter C. Hagen
About Linda Schaub
This is my first blog and I enjoy writing each post immensely. I started a walking regimen in 2011 and in 2013 I decided to create a blog as a means of memorializing the people, places and things seen on my daily walks. I have always enjoyed people watching, so my blog is peppered with folks I meet or reflections of characters I have known through the years. Often something piques my interest, or evokes a pleasant memory from my memory bank, so this becomes a “slice o’ life” blog post. I respect and appreciate nature and my interactions with Mother Nature’s gifts is also a common theme. Sometimes the most-ordinary items become fodder for points to ponder over and touch upon. I retired in March 2024 after a career in the legal field. I was a legal secretary for almost 45 years, primarily working in downtown Detroit, then working from my home. I graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in Mass Communications (print journalism) in 1978, though I’ve never worked in that field. I would like to think this blog is the writer in me finally emerging!! Walking and writing have met, shaken hands and the creative juices are flowing in Walkin’, Writin’, Wit & Whimsy. I hope you think so too. - Linda Schaub

Ann Marie – you make me smile. Yes it was “Simplicity Day” so it was just a short-and-sweet blog like the walk. Hate this humidity, and yes — Mother Nature’s torrential and non-stop rain stopped me in my tracks as well. A shame because it cleared up nicely later, but I’m not a fan of walking in the heat so really tonight would be a tad too warm to enjoy a walk, though I’d like the exercise and the miles. I will say “hi’ to Miss Marge who is enjoying being home, but not that humidity as it wreaks havoc with her breathing.
