a morning in easton


Today Bonnie and I did the Easton Volkssport walk. It was the first time we've walked together in a while. It's supposed to be a recurring event, so maybe you'll see some more blog posts.


We parked here, by this little bird (?) It was an appropriate space since it looks kind-of like one of my doodles, but a little more precise. We arrived about 7:30 and the parking meters don't open till 9. Yeah us!

This was Bonnie's first time signing in at the Grand Eastonian. I was excited when I saw someone from Tennessee did the walk. I love when I see out of state/town names and addresses. I hope s/he liked it.

We did the 5K and Bonnie got to see all the new murals, and the Star of David window at the church. The walk course she's very familiar with. Across the free bridge, back the paid bridge, thru Scott park, Center Square, and part of the arts trail.


It was at Bushkill Drive and Bushkill Street that we saw the top sculpture. I think it's a new addition to the arts trail.

It was also on Bushkill Drive that we saw this sign. I scanned the QR but it's an actually app that you have to download. It's augmented reality, geo-triggered, and doesn't use data.  Might be fun if you have tweens that are glued to their phones.


We came home Freemansburg Avenue hoping for sweet corn and it was ready. I had it for supper. Delicious.

52-Hike Challenge:   35/52
Miles/Steps:   2.5
$ found:          1 penny
Weather:        78, sunny.
Extra:        It was hot walking so I took off my FitBit and put it in my pocked. After dinner, I remembered it was there and went to put it on my wrist. The actual FitBit was gone. Thankfully, it was in my pocket.
Wildlife:          Nothing but squirrels and city birds on the walk. But when I put the car in the garage I thought that there was a dead leaf on my gate. It turned out to be a dead leaf moth (
Paonias excaecata). S/he is beautiful and I had to share him/her.
