Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

Foggy

Bit of fog around early this morning but it gave way to lots of sunshine.
57 degrees and no wind to speak of.

Just got to town and took a picture of the pond.


I first walked up and down the main road through town
and all the side streets.

This is our neighbors barn when we used to live in town.


Then went to the ball park and walked a couple of laps around there.
Thomas was there as well running his 6 laps.
Lastly I walked around the cemetery up the hill.
Still a little foggy but the sun was coming through.


The road by the building lots is getting paved today.
As I walked by the pond they were taking the paving machine off the truck.


By the time I got done walking around the cemetery
the machine was over working on the road.
You can barely see it there on the other side the pond.


Sunrise 6:35

😊    🌫    🌤️    🥾

Finished up the rest of this weeks house cleaning and
got another load of laundry hung out to dry.
Hard to believe just the two of us accumulate so much laundry.

I made by Welsh Cookies today.
I'll have some of them for my snack this evening
instead of the usual ice cream.

That's all I have for today.
Thanks for visiting.
Hope you had a wonderful day.
HappyK 🙂

I love the church in the picture.

Blankets

 Cloudy when I got to town and 67 degrees.
A light drizzle started but only lasted a couple of minutes
and then just cloudy.
Rained all day after I got home.

Went to the library first.
Put a DVD down the slot.
We watched the first season of Accused.
Pretty good show.
It is a British crime show with a different take.
You first see the Accused in a jail cell awaiting the return
of the jury with a verdict.
Then it shows how the person got there.
Each episode is completely different with different people
and all kinds of different crimes.
We plan on watching the other seasons as well.

Here I am walking to the industrial park.


This is the road behind the DG Market
and between it and the industrial park.


Now I'm at the industrial park.


Then walked back to the parking at the pond going up
and down all the side streets.

All the lots now have numbers where the new houses will be built.
If I had to pick a lot I'd pick 
number 10 because the pond is right behind it.
Wouldn't want to live here though.
I'm spoiled having lots of land around me and it would be
really hard to have such close neighbors.


John was out walking Prim and I stopped for a chat.
Rebecca was out too but too far away and she didn't even see me.

😊    ☁️    🏘️    🥾

Once again this morning I drove to church for Blanket
for Babies and Seniors.
There were 8 of us there this time.
Numbers have dropped a bit but summer is a busy time for people.
I'm working on two blankets.
Weave-it one for the babies


and knitting one for the Seniors.


Had lunch when I got home and then made 
Sweet and Sour Cucumber Salad
which we will have for supper with hamburgers.

My next project is getting all my knitting patterns in order
and started sorting through them this afternoon.
They will all be put into a binder too like the recipes.

Also had time for a little reading.

Thanks so much for visiting.
Hope you had a wonderful day.
HappyK 🙂
