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

A cloudy morning walk today with just a little breeze.
The temperature was 68 degrees.
Sunrise 5:58

Started out walking around both of the cemeteries a couple of times.
The corn is now as tall as I am.
(5'5")


Walked down to the barn by the Drane house.
No bulls out in the barnyard today.


Next I walked to and around the ball park loop a couple of times.

Continued all around town, up and down the side streets
till I had all my steps in.

Lots of activity at the church in town.
They are setting up for their annual rummage sale.
They used to put prices on everything.
Now you just take what you want and make a donation.
Since they have been taking donations they make
double the money!!

Saw John walking Prim but they were too far away to 
talk to so we just waved.

Finished up the little bit of house cleaning for this week.
Then we went out and did a few errands.
One was to go to the library.
I had three books to pick up that were on reserve.


We had some rain today but some sun too.
It stayed on the cool side all day.

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

Calm

A walk with the umbrella this morning.
It was 70 degrees and rainy to start.

First walked over to the post office and mailed a card.

Then to the ball park and walked around the loop a couple of times.


Continued walking around town and heard a big clap of thunder
so thought I'd better go back to the Jeep.
BUT that was the only thunder I heard and by the time I was
back to the Jeep the rain had stopped.

Left the umbrella in the Jeep and walked around both of the cemeteries.
First the lower one and then up the hill to the other one.
By that time I started to see some blue sky.


Anna and her Dad Mark were out walking again.

The second Thursday of each month is when my book club meets.
Blankets for Babies and Seniors usually meet on the
third Thursday of every month.
But next week is Bible Time so it was a week early.
So both things were on the same day.
I chose to go to church for blankets.
There were 10 of us there this time.
Ken came along too and did some work for Pastor.

Did a few things around the house and then read.
It was raining again so read inside today.
Periods of both rain and sun today.

Haven't made it yet but after supper I'm going to make
Strawberry Short Cake for our snack later this evening.
That will take the place of our usual ice cream.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Hope you enjoyed your Thursday.
