I really love old houses with towers, and this one has a nice one.
It was obviously a private residence, so I couldn’t really get too close or go inside. So I shifted my focus to the old church across the street, which also caught my eye, seeing as it was all medieval-looking and all.
The Walk: OK, folks, I stand corrected. Remember the whole Process of Falling at the Aquila Court Building thing? I walked around the block near the Bay House to get my exercise. I had my iPad out, prepared to take pictures along the way. I did NOT fall at any time during this walk. But nevertheless, when I got home I discovered a bunch of pictures of the sidewalk and grass that the iPad must have taken without my consent while I was walking. So maybe that’s what happened at the Aquila Court Building, too. It’s not nearly as exciting that way, though.
I did take some nice pictures of snowdrops on the walk.
The Lunch: I had it sitting on the steps of the old church. Nobody bothered me.
The salad was pretty good for being so simple. Fresh fruit was OK. My chocolate chips melted in the hot car, so I made the trail mix that I had in a previous walk instead, which I like very much.
