Come Walk With Me







If you have no where to walk, come walk with me.

From around the world:

Jeevan is in India
Shayndel is in Japan
Pamela is in Florida
Łucja-Maria is in Poland
Cloudia is in Hawaii
Baili is in Pakistan

And we are all locked down. What do you think about that? 
It is astonishing to say the least. We've had pandemics before, some worse than this, but we have never shut everything down.
The Internet is a glorious invention. It takes us on walks together. 
It provides us with information. It provides us with misinformation.
It is sometimes hard to tell the difference. 
But isn't it strange? Has the whole world ever done the exact same thing at the exact same time? Yes, I am looking for answers. No, I don't have one for you. I hope you have one for me!

    1. Do you have a yard to walk in?

      You do have all your blog photos. They are beautiful! Aren't you glad you went to all those places? 🙂 I am!

  4. Hi, this is just my comment to Sandi, since I don't find your area to write a comment. Beautiful pond or lake, thank you for the views. We bloggers are united around the world. Hello from California.

  5. Yes, so glad for the internet so I could take a walk with you. What a peaceful place to walk, and those red flowers! They look like Lilies? Well, I don't have all the answers, but I did share a verse from The Pope that might comfort you. : )

  7. For sure I'm happy that in this lock down we still have electricity and the internet. Never been a time like this in any of our lives for sure. Thank you for the walk.

  10. Beautiful. My only piece of advice; don't believe everything you see or read. That's all I got, smiles.

    I hope you have a lovely rest of the week. smiles

    1. I think we are being lied to in many ways.

  11. I don't think the entire world ever has been shut down at the same time. Even in wars, there is usually some spot not "involved." The internet is indeed amazing. If you saw my Anne Frank post you know how different it was then. We may be anxious and afraid but we can be anywhere in the world we want to be, thanks to the net. And that helps.

    1. So true!

      The kids and I "went" to the Hermitage Museum and Disney World last week.

      We have a lot to be thankful for! 🎈

  12. I've been talking via internet to a friend in Ireland and England and we have also remarked on how unusual this is.
    Your walk is beautiful!

  13. Almost seems as if we're in the middle of some evil master plan to instill fear... I think most of the world should buckle up. As for me, I am happy to enjoy a lovely walk with you, Sandi. Keep looking up:)

  14. Thank you Sandi for sharing your walk and how we are all connected!! I think recently of that "we are all in the same boat" and the scriptures where in the storm and the disciples being fearful, He reminds them! He is there in the boat!! Through your post too I am reminded that Jesus is in our boat! May we keep calling on Him to calm the storm around us and to help us know the Peace that goes beyond all understanding that He provides to us at all times!! Blessings and Shalom!

  15. Thank God I have a place too, to take lovely walks. Thanks for posting the pretty and peaceful photos.

    I'm not listening to the liberal media, they are only trying to destroy just like...Tokyo Rose.

    I appreciate you! God bless you Sandi!

  21. Hi Sandi :)) Nice walk! Thanks for sharing. Oh answers...nobody really has answers do they? I was in the hardware store the other day buying a clothesline for the new place (we won't have a washer and dryer)...the clerk was about 10 feet behind me trying to direct me to the right place, saying "further, further, turn right, okay, a little further..." it was so weird!!

    1. 😂

      I know it's not funny, but that is FUNNY!!!! Ha ha...sigh. We are all so weird. I wore mechanic's latex work gloves to the grocery store. I saw a lady there with a surgical face mask and gardening gloves. It really is bizarre and yet hilarious and...well, I recently watched a video of a You Tuber I watched in better times and she has it. She said it is a struggle to breath deeply. She is in recovery and is being treated.

    2. All that to say it is horrible as well.

    3. You know, I do feel for those suffering, with all of the media lately, I guess if you've contracted the virus, you can't help thinking the worst...but I do try to be logical about it at the same time...

      One funny thing I saw, the lady at the pharmacy was wearing a clear/plastic welding helmet to keep safe. Good for her!

    4. It's not a bad idea!

      Well, at least we can laugh while we cry.

  22. Nice collection of photos.
    Thank goodness for the internet - we can communicate with people from all over the world and see their surroundings, how they are coping at this trying time.

  23. Thank you for this beautiful walk together. Your pond area is so lovely, and a perfect place to sit and rest beside "the still waters" and draw closer to the Lord. That is what I believe this time is all about. Jesus is drawing us closer to Him during these day. I pray that many will listen and obey His voice. Thank you for bringing so many of us together here. That is a blessing.

  24. Son muy buenas las fotos. Con tanta belleza, que hay en los alrededores, ha sido un placer, caminar contigo.

  25. I so appreciate the walk with you..beautiful images.
    To answer your question on my bog..the pig lungs are the same size as humans and respond the same way.
    In the Opthalmology field pig eyes are used for practice as they are the same size and react the same as humans too.

    1. Hmm...I wonder why humans and pigs are so similar? 🤣

  26. Thank you for taking us on this virtual walk Sandi. Very pretty scenery. I never expected our present circumstances in my lifetime. It is mind boggling that so many of us are sharing the same situation. I have several family members overseas and we are all seeing the same. Wishing you all good health.

  27. Thank you for taking me on this beautiful walk.
    We are indeed all in this together. While I have longed for world unity, this was not what I had in mind.
    Stay well, stay safe.

  29. No, I don't think we've ever done this together as a world ever before this. Strange times. Looks like a lovely walk.
