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

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.

A little kayaking

 

58 degrees this morning with a mix of sun and clouds.
Sunrise 6:33

Walked around the cemeteries and then down the road toward home,
turned up Barn Sale Rd.


I'm not the only one in town who hangs their clothes out to dry.


Back to town and up and down some side streets and
through town once again.

I walked down the road by the future home sites.
The road is still gravel but I'm sure it will eventually be paved.
All digging is done and the lots are ready now to be
bought and built on.
I bet it takes YEARS before all are sold and built on.
My guess is 5 years.


😊    🥾    🌤️

Great weather for kayaking, 
70 degrees with a nice mix of sun and clouds
so we left this morning after breakfast to do a little paddling.



 This is as far as I could go before I hit bottom.


Here we are returning after a great few hours on the water.
That's our red truck up there.


We were the only people out on the whole reservoir.
It sure was nice to be out paddling on such a beautiful day.

🚣    🚣    🚣

Didn't feel like doing much of anything when we got back home.
So just puttered about this afternoon.

Thanks for stopping by.
Hope you enjoyed your day.
HappyK🙂
