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

July Photo Challenge Day 18

July Photo-a-day Challenge with ChrissyT
Day 18
Animal/Insect

I bet most of you thought I'd post a cow photo today.๐Ÿ™‚
Took the horse picture some time ago but
it is my favorite animal picture that I've ever taken.


Quite a handsome fellow this rooster.
Took this a while ago too.
He lived at the dairy farm on the farm loop.

This morning there was a mix of sun and clouds when I walked.
The temperature was 68 degrees with a slight breeze.

Driving to town I saw 4 deer along the way.
On the way home saw 4 rabbits.

You might not be able to find them in this picture but
there are two deer a little off to the left of the center.


Walked around both of the cemeteries to start and then over to the
ball park and around there.
Back to the pond and then continued down the main road
back towards home a ways, turned around,
went back to town and there ended my walk.


Rebecca was out walking Leo and
Sheila was out running.

Haven't been to the library for stitching in a few weeks
so was nice to get back there again.
I'm still knitting on the basket weave baby blanket.
There were 5 of us there today.

Heard some loud claps of thunder while in the library
and by the time I was home at lunch time
the storms came through.

Came home from the library with a couple more books to read
and couple more DVD's to watch.

That's it for today.
Hope you had a wonderful Saturday.
Thanks for stopping by.

A foggy morning walk today.
60 degrees and calm.
Started out foggy but the sun came out later.


Walked around both of the cemeteries.


The herd bulls are back in the pasture down by the Drane house.
There used to be 7 black bulls.
Now 3 of the black ones are back with 4 of the new Speckled Park ones.


 

Had a couple of books to drop off at the library so stopped
at the Jeep, picked up the books and walked to the library.
From there I walked up and down some side streets and
over to the ball park.
Walked around there, a few more side streets and then
back to the pond.

I saw Shelia out running.

Got some house stuff done in the morning.

The sun was out but it was a filtered sun because of the smoke
from the fires in Canada.
Didn't sit on the porch today because it smelled like smoke!!

David and Liz came over this afternoon for birthday cake.
I gave David one of the cards I had made.
We all had a piece of cake and I gave them the rest
of the cake to take home.

Some of you have asked how David was doing in his new job.
He's been there a few weeks now and things are going well.
He not only works with the fork lift but they have
him inside working on a computer also.
He's outside when using the fork lift but in an air conditioned
office when on the computer.
Has gotten lots of praise for the job he's doing.

So that's it for today.
Hope you had a wonderful Friday.
Thanks for stopping by.

You don't raise heroes, you raise sons. 
And if you treat them like sons, 
they'll turn out to be heroes, 
even if it's just in your own eyes.
