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

My African Violets

 

I usually have some kind of a route in mind when I start out walking
but this morning it was very random with no order!!

Tomorrow is Anna's birthday so I put her card in a plastic bag
and tacked it to their mailbox post.
I gave her one of the diamond art cards I made.


As you can see it was a foggy morning as I walked around town.
This is the road where the new houses will be.



A sign has been put up showing the lots and prices.


Walked all around town and didn't see anyone.
By the time I got back to the pond the fog was gone and the sun was out.
The temperature was 62 degrees.
I found a penny at the car dealer.

Stitching morning at the library.
Five of us there this time.
I made weave-it squares.
Jalene brought her 11 year old granddaughter Kaylee along 
and was teaching her to crochet.

Before I went to the library I stopped at the post office
to mail a package.
It's now on it's way to North Carolina.

Back in April I divided one of my African violets into 4 pots.
This is them and I didn't think they would make it.


BUT here are a couple of them now.
I can't believe how big and beautiful they are now.
All four look like this.
They have never stopped blooming!
I gave one of them to Liz.



That's going to be it for today.
Thanks so much for coming by.
Hope you had a wonderful Saturday.

Fish and Chips

 Started walking by going down the road I just drove up.


Then turned around and walked to town.


Continued walking through town and up and down side streets.
Then down the main road through town


and over to the ball park and walked around there a couple of times.
As I walked passed the chickens they all ran over to see me.
I stopped for a minute and talked to them.
I wonder do chickens remember who you are or do they just think
you're bringing food?

It was very quiet around town this early Friday morning.
Didn't see anyone else out.

It was 67 degrees.
It drizzled on me when I first started walking at 6:15 but it soon stopped.
Just cloudy for the rest of my walk and the drizzle started
again just as I got back to the Jeep.

Got some things done around the house.
Then baked an Apple Fruit Crisp.

This afternoon I read and knitted until David and Liz
came by and we went up the road
for some fish and chips.
We RARELY go out to eat so it was a real treat.
Of course this is way too much food to eat.




Well that's it for today.
Hope you enjoyed your Friday.
Thanks for visiting.

GrannyM - No special occasion for going out for fish and chips.  Just a rare treat.
