Today many bloggers commented about the waning summer and the approach of fall. It's a milestone in the year. The weather is still nice but it's changing.
Well, skating marks an important change in the year for me. I was surprised that I had lots of zip after not skating since April. It was a fun afternoon. Now only five of us skated but it wasn't well publicized.
Now I didn't get photos of skating. Everything I took I dumped. I still have a few things to learn about taking photos of skaters.
It's a little difficult to put on clothes for the rink. It's really hard to remember your gloves.
Obviously you are skating at an indoor rink. I know it gets cold up there, but not that fast!
ReplyDeleteYes, an indoor rink. They can make some very nice ice by modifying ice temperatures.
DeleteHave a nice time. I too love to skate. Be careful while skating.Waiting for your photos...
ReplyDeleteIt's a great group and we have a good time.
DeleteI haven't skated since I was 16. In fact for most of my life I have not lived anywhere near a rink.
ReplyDeleteMost people in the world do not skate. Even here many people do not skate.
DeleteThat cold when it is still warm is a change. Nice to here you are back on the ice, I will wait a few months.Wish I had a rink close.
ReplyDeleteWe are in an arena but of course the temp has to be low to keep the ice.
DeleteSounds wonderful! Skating is fun and it's great exercise. Good for you! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteGreat exercise and friends.
DeleteYes summer is fading away helas, I enjoyed it very much this year with lots of sunshine. To skate is a bit early here and I don't do it anymore, to wobbly for me.
ReplyDeleteI'm skating in an arena.
DeleteOh, no! Well there is always next week, right?!
ReplyDeleteI'll try again.
DeleteYou don't always talk about skating at all! I love to hear everything about it, Red, so don't hesitate. But gosh it sure s seems early. September? :-)
ReplyDeleteWE are skating in an arena. We have 6 arenas in town.
DeleteI agree with DJan you don't talk about skating all the time or too much! You got ice at the rink...good for you! Love that one ladies helmet she is a smart one:)
ReplyDeleteAll our arens have ice. Hey, even the curling rinks are busy. I also wear a helmet.
DeleteI've never learned how to skate!
ReplyDeleteThere's lots more to do than skate.
DeleteHi Red, One of the things I like about Hiawatha House is that you keep us on track with the season. I like that comment by Weekend-Windup ... "Be careful while skating."
ReplyDeleteI do wear a helmet, but I've never hit my head when I've fallen.
DeleteIsn't it nice to meet activities on their scheduled times. Enjoy skating and don't forget about the gloves.
ReplyDeleteWell, I've forgotten my gloves before. It's not really too cold. I didn't wear gloves at all until I was 65,
DeleteHow neat to be able to skate. I have tried a couple of times but my ankles wouldn't stay up straight and the blades looked at half list, as did I :)
ReplyDeleteModern day skates can do wonders for any weak ankle. The boot is very supportive.
DeleteSkating is great exercise! I used to skate on a frozen creek as a child and later in ice arenas with my kids, but a couple years ago I got out my skates and tried to skate at an outdoor rink and my ankles wouldn't hold me up! I thought it was like riding a bicycle -- you never forget. Wrong!
ReplyDeleteYou will be able to skate. Modern skates give you total ankle support.
Deletehooray for a good start to the season!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great time for the group.
DeleteI hear it's going to be a cold winter so you should have many opportunities to enjoy skating.
ReplyDeleteWe have 6 arenas in town with artificial ice so they're all flooded and busy. No outdoor skating for this softy.
DeleteRed you amaze me and I love that you're back on skates once again. That's so awesome that you have others to skate with! Yup, you bet winter is just around the corner and this reminds me of it, not that I welcome it, but what else can one do except dance in the snow? :-)
ReplyDeleteGoodness! You have so much energy, Red. I tried to learn how to skate in Chicago, but I kept falling. I just couldn't get balanced. Sigh...
