Found 18 Cents Today on a Walk

I called a friend today and decided to take a walk while we talked. I'm glad I did since we talked for more than 2-1/2 hours! It was really productive getting in a good walk and chatting! 

While I was walking I found nine coins. Here's what and where:

• two pennies in a fast food parking lot
• two pennies in an alley behind a shopping center
• two pennies on the sidewalk in front of a car wash
• a penny at a gas station
• a dime in an apartment building parking lot 
• a penny on a sidewalk

Eighteen cents! So cool! I found these seed pods and thought they were pretty.

Have you found any money lately?

Found a Penny in an Alley (without my magnet)

It's been hot here in Phoenix, I mean really hot. A couple of days this week broke the 100°F mark. Ugh. Too hot, too soon. But really just plain too hot! But this morning I stepped outside and it was nice. Really pleasant with a slight breeze, so I checked the temperature online and it was 74°! 

So, I decided to take a little walk while it wasn't blistering out. It's supposed to get up to 93° today, which is still hot so I headed out this morning. 

I didn't take my magnet, but I did walk a few blocks then went down an alley where I spotted this penny! Yippee!

As I walked through the alley, looking for good junk (and more money), I happened to look up (sometimes I don't and wonder later what I missed). I saw this whirly gig thing made out of junk in someone's backyard. I love it!

How is your weather? Have you found any money to tell us about? We'd love to hear!
