I live in Louisiana. My community is very walkable and friendly and there’s a community pool and two lakes. My minimum steps a day is 5,000. Today I have 9,000. Sometimes more. Louisiana is a very green and plant colorful “tropical” climate. Plants and lawns love it. Normally get enough rain for everything to be happy. Spring is fabulous. Warm and colorful. Summer is a hot humid beast. I cannot walk outside from sometime in June until sometimes well into October. I walk the stacks at the library. Fall is wonderful and fresh especially after the brutal summer. Summer is always brutal, but now I have pool access. Yay. Winter can be drizzly, but only a few times gets really cold, below 35 and it warms up quickly. Just rnough cd to appreciate the warmth of Spring. If it weren’t for Summer it would ve great.

Thanks for your reply! Your situation sounds lovely!
I've never been to Louisiana, in fact when I noticed LA following your name, I thought it might mean Los Angeles!

Where in Louisiana are you? I am also in Louisiana, but don’t consider my area walkable.
