Day 3

Doing the July Photo-a-day Challenge with ChrissyT

Day 3

Food

It is NOT my birthday but here is a birthday cake

that Ken baked for me one year.

It is a 4 layer chocolate cake.

In between layers is chocolate pudding and raspberry jam

topped off with real whipped cream

The warmest weather so far at 74 degrees for this mornings walk.

Started off a bit foggy but soon it was sunny with some clouds too.

A still morning but the breeze picked up mid morning again.

Walked around both of the cemeteries to start again. 

Then over to the ball park and once again walked around there 

a few more times than normal to stay in the shade.

Then just walked around town trying to stay in the shade.

A few photos of the animals I talked to along my walk.

The Geese 

The chickens

This little (not so little anymore) black chick is my favorite.

He is usually outside the fence and seems like a character.

Interesting fence was put up.

Gives some privacy but you don't feel closed in.

I see some holes dug along the fence where maybe they will plant something.

Lots of activity going on around town.

Things getting cleaned, mowed, firetrucks getting washed and a

general tidy up for the parade and festivities tomorrow

in town for July 4th.

Didn't see anyone else out just walking though.

We went out first thing this morning to get a few chores done.

While at Lowe's I bought a couple of plants for the porch.

I bought both of these for $15.

Spent some time on the front porch reading.

Warm but with a nice breeze.

Humming birds coming by and liking those petunias.

Used to put out feeders but they never came by.

Petunias, and they come a calling.

Looking forward to that homemade pizza in just a little while.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hope you had a wonderful day.

A bit foggy as I drove to town this morning.

Dodged quite a few rabbits and a few chipmunks too

as I drove down the road.

It was 70 degrees and once the fog burned off it

was a mix of sun and clouds.

No breeze at all when I walked but the breeze did

pick up by mid morning.

Walked around both cemeteries and the ball park.

I walked more loops than usual around the ball park

because it was in the shade and cooler.

Stayed on the left side of town and never went to the main road.

Someone is getting a new fence.

Yesterday the old wooden falling down fence was taken down.

Today a nice new white one is being put up.

Both Carrie and Rebecca were out walking this morning.

David and Liz are coming over for supper and game night later.

Liz is making us supper of some kind of pasta.

I was asked to make Eclairs so I made them this morning.

Easy to make but a lot of steps and it is time consuming.

Recipe

Got some much needed window washing done this afternoon

and then it was porch sitting and reading time.

Sat in the living room under the fan and fell asleep.

Had a nice half hour nap.

Hope you had a wonderful day.

HappyK🙂

Ginny - Yes, we do live in the woods but our nearest neighbor is not that far away.  Our driveway is here on the left and the road dead ends into a farm.

Ellen - The corn is not people food but food for the animals, mostly chickens.
