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

Early morning fog during my walk and then just cloudy.
Temperature 67 and not much of a breeze.

Started my walk walking back down the road I just drove up.


Turned around and back to town made a detour up and down 
Sale Barn Road.


Back in town I walked up and down the main road and some
side streets on my way to the ball park and walked that loop.
Then back to walk around the cemeteries.
Only one of them because I had reached my step goal.

Pretty quiet around and didn't see anyone else out.

Pink, white, and red cone flowers.
(not mine)

Fog cleared and the sun appeared so I did a load of
laundry and hung it out to dry.

Got to a late start cleaning this week but got pretty much 
all of it done today.

Later in the afternoon I spent some time out on
the front porch reading.

Easy supper tonight, Red Baron frozen pizza.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Hope you had a wonderful day.

what you say, 
and what you do are in harmony.

Day 7

Started out with a little fog around but that soon gave way to
sun and clouds.
Temperature 67 and calm.

Walked around both of the cemeteries and then
walked up the hill to the school.


Continued walking on the path that goes around the school.
You can see by the picture that not many people walk here.
The grass has grown over the gravel path.


Then walked back down the hill and over to the ball park loop
and walked around there, and then back to the pond.

I was walking down from the cemetery thinking that I haven't seen
Kinsley in quite a while and then there she was getting dropped
off at the day care.
I've missed getting that big hug from her.
She will be starting middle school in September!!
I've known her since she was 4 years old.

I also saw Anna and her dad Mark out walking by the ball park.
Nice to see them again after such a long time.
Anna is a lovely young lady who has some kind of learning disability 
and always has a big smile and a hug for me.

Food shopping day and this week we decided to go to the
Walmart in LaVale.
It is bigger with much wider aisles and worth the extra drive.

Clouded up this afternoon and we got some rain.

Finished reading The River We Remember sitting
on the front porch this afternoon.
Great Book.

Supper tonight is Soup Bowl Cabbage Rolls.

That's it for today.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Hope you had a wonderful day.

Deb - No, I cancelled KindleUnlimited.  Felt I wasn't reading enough on the kindle
to make it pay.  I get books on BookBub.  They have good deals and I end up spending less than on Kindle/Unlimited.
