Today Pam and I walked in Lehigh Parkway. It rained a lot last night and was still drizzling this morning. But it's warm so drizzle would feel good. We had a plan to come back over the iron bridge if it began to rain harder.
As we walked we could see the clouds, like fog, hanging over the creek. Not quite Brigadoon, but the tune is still stuck in my head.
Pam asked if I wanted to start or finish with a hill. Start. I always thought both sides were equal in their hilly-ness, but they aren't. She used to be a runner, so she'd know. We walked counter-clockwise to the way I go. Past the springhouse, the solar walk, the iron bridge, turning at Robin Hood parking lot, and returning on the other side of the creek and back over the bridge. It was less hilly. It goes to show you really do learn something new every day.
Most people were not wearing masks including the parks department people that were mowing the lawns. Pam found an old eyeglass chain that she'd adapted for her mask. She uses small safety pins at either end and attaches it to the elastic. When there is nobody around, she just tugs it down and it hangs around her neck. When we see people, she grabs the elastic and pulls it up. Genius. A whole lot better than stuffing it in your pocket or hanging it on your finger. Less cross-contamination.
