Mile A Day In May - May 6th

Good morning!
I had to make things work this morning so I got my walk in inside the house while watching the coronation.
Between that and it being my late sister’s birthday, that’s what was on my mind.
She was older than me and my mom allowed another family to adopt her when she was a few months old and my mom was only 18.
I knew nothing about her until I was 8 and she found us in her 20s. What a story.
Anyway, that’s going to be on my mind most of the day today, I know.
I’m hoping to get out and plant some flowers and get some more exercise.
I love reading about all your walks.
Have a great day!

I haven't been good about posting. I did walk 4 of the last 6 days. Today is already done.

Honestly the only thoughts I have are about what I am seeing when I am out there,. Someone's landscape, a dog, a car that drives by, the person walking in my direction etc. I usually do my personal thinking when I am driving to and from work, and when I am in my craft room.

So after getting up at 4:00 a.m. to watch King Charles' coronation I thought omg I do not want to walk. But, I wasn't really tired (that will come later this afternoon, lol) and it's a gorgeous day and I had books to pick up from the library. So... I drove to the library and parked in the lower level of the parking garage. Then I walked up the exit stairs, around the park that's next to the library, and back to the library and around that. That was just about half a mile. So I did it twice, then got in a bit extra by going back around to the other door, getting my books, then walking out and back around to the other side to the steps down into the garage.

The park was FULL.

-- There was a T-ball game with the tiniest players I've ever seen. lol. If there's something even before regular T-ball this was it. They were very cute. lol 
-- The playground was like an ant hill there were so many kids on it.
-- Tennis courts full.
-- Volley ball game going on.
-- Pick-up basketball on all four courts. 
-- Softball or baseball (I couldn't tell from where I was) on the main ball field. 
-- People setting up picnics in the pavilions. 
-- Tons of people dropping off glass at the recycling bins (we can't get curbside pickup for glass anymore, only plastic and paper)

And my question is... why do people lose their minds over parking spaces? There are several parking lots on various sides of this big park. There were people trying to park at the one nearest to the main ball field but that lot was full. They were honking at each other, and hovering near a guy who was leaving, and fighting over who was next for that spot, etc. When they could have driven around the corner and pulled right into a spot, and then walked for 2 minutes to get back to the ball field.   And it wasn't a problem of someone needing a handicapped spot because there were several of those that were empty. 

Anyway, those were my thoughts. haha No photos, although I would have loved to take one of the teeny T-ball players. However, I didn't want to be a random stalker stranger taking photos of little kids.
