I'm trying to get back into the habit of walking again. So far I've managed to walk for nine days in a row. Yesterday I went the farthest so far - only about 1 1/4 mile, but I'm working up gradually. On my way home, a man was out in his front yard. He said, "Wait! I have some flowers for you." As he walked toward his house, he said, "I've been trying to catch you for three days." He went inside, and apparently into the back yard. He was gone so long I almost walked on, but I kept waiting and he came out with a big bouquet of yellow flowers. I'm not sure what kind they are. The look a bit like chrysanthemums, and have a nice, light aroma.
I told my son about it, and this was his response: "Ok, what the intentions of the gentleman with the flowers? lol"

Absolutely, How nice. Well done on the walking Joy, I am sure you will feel the benefit in the long run.

Thanks, Jean. Yes, it was nice, and totally unexpected.

Thank you. I'm sure I will. It is an effort for me to get out and do it, but it is one of the few forms of exercise I don't find totally boring. I'd enjoy it more if I had prettier places to walk, as you and some others here do, but it still isn't bad once I make myself do it. I was walking regularly before my last trip to Australia (over 2 years ago now), but that trip broke the habit, and I never got back into it. I've been telling myself for the past two years that I need to start walking again. Finally, a week ago Monday, I stopped saying that and started doing it. Two or three of those nine days, I felt I could justify not walking, but I knew if I missed even one day, it would be harder to make myself go the next day, so I didn't.

You better keep on walking that way. What a nice experience. :-)

Right. He was kind of cute, too. Unfortunately, there were two cars in the driveway, so he's probably married.

A lovely story Joy....walking is the best think anybody can do. My walks are short and frequent as I have to watch the humidity, but they have certainly had a good effect. Nobody has given me flowers though 8>( jingles

Good point. It might even be a brother. OTOH, he didn't really act as if he were trying to strike up an acquaintance. Oh well. Time will tell. I walk past his house every day.

We had a little chat today. I wasn't sure what kind the flowers were, so I asked him about them. I was right - they are chrysanthemums. Then he told me how he bought three small plants for $1 a couple of years ago, kept them in his greenhouse for a year, and then planted them. They grew very large and he has lots of flowers.
On one hand, he said he gave flowers to all his neighbors. OTOH, he just happened to be out in front with his dog when I passed his house the first time, and he came out the door as I passed the second time.

Joy, you never know what comes of simple gestures with honorable intentions. I stopped to help a neighbor woman move a freezer and now I am married to her with the blessings of her late terminially ill husband. I told her the spark and shock she got when I touched her arm was just static electricity. She insists she was zapped with a message from God.

Oh err!!!! In my very limited experience :-) gentlemen only give flowers to ladies with whom they wish to strike up an acquaintance, are you sure you are going to be free next October? :-)

Drop your handkerchief then Joy when you are pondering whether to buy something. Now that does work, I know it and it wasn't me who did it either!

When I was in the US I got the impression that few people walk for pleasure, there was an earnestness about them as they power-walked around the park.
When I'm out and about locally, especially in the country, there is almost invariably a greeting exchanged. One lady who passed my house every day always said "hello", and one day I stopped her and asked her name, and if she had known my wife. That proved to be the case, and now we greet each other by name, and sometimes have a chat. -- Gordon H Remove "invalid" to reply
