December Daily -- Day 10

Day 10

The rain finally ended and today I was able to take a long walk.  I think it must have been almost 6 miles.  My pedometer needs a new battery so I am only guessing by how my feet felt!

I picked up a few huge pine cones on my walk.  I intend to smear the pine cones with peanut butter and roll them in bird seed.  Sort of a little treat for the flying critters in our backyard. I also have some stale popcorn that I'll thread onto string and hang it on the trees for the squirrels and birds to enjoy on Christmas Day.

Here's what I journaled  on the back:

Today the air smelled fresh and clean after the long day of pounding rain.  I almost had to force myself to take a walk, but once outside and breathing in the wonderful clean air I kept on going.  I think I walked about 6 miles--judging by how walking 5 miles feels, and how badly my feet hurt!

I picked up these pine cones in the Highlands.  I think the birds will enjoy them with peanut butter smeared on them and then rolled in bird seeds.  I will have to place them where the squirrels can't get at them.  Surprisingly, squirrels love peanut butter -- at least the squirrels in our yard do.
