I am out of the rain and in cozy red flannel PJs

I walked for a few hours in the rain last night. Nothing like overgrown, broken mossy sidewalks in the rain.

I went in a beeline for this house because I have a theory that the red lights were just for Halloween and want to see if it has other lighting patterns. I'd been meaning to go a few times. Last night I finally did it and... the lights where off. I am going to have to check it a few times. It's hard because it's pretty far. If I want to see anything new on my journey, I have to vary my route in ways that adds a lot more time. I mean, it's only about a 6 mile loop and some of my longer photowalks are 7-8, so I just need to get into more of a groove of longer photowalks again. That shouldn't be a big deal. I just got into the habit of 3-5 mile ones after December when I went sedentary for a bit due to first icy sidewalks and then dealing with a foot injury. But, it's past time to get back into longer walks.

I am just overly wary of wearing myself out.

Those lengths of walk sound extraordinarily exhausting to me, but that's a reflection of my endurance (lack-thereof), I think. But those sound *impressively* long to me.

Bummer that the lights were off. :/ That is such a cool house. (And I wonder what other colors would look like, as vibrant as the red is.)

I can't jog or lift things, but being able to walk long distances is usually my thing. I need to build that back up before something age-related nerfs me hard.

I really meant to go in December in case they were programmable lights. I'll just have to keep taking whacks at it.

Persistence predator ancestry for the win, haha.

I hate being at the age where suddenly age-related injury is a thing that matters and is worth being concerned about. What the fuck.

Hopefully they turn the lights back on at a time that syncs up with you being in the area!
