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

Windy


Well, I certainly had a windy walk this morning.
The kind that gives you a push along or makes you take a step back.
Wore my rain gear because it was supposed to be raining
but it didn't start till I got back home.
The temperature was 46.
Sunrise 5:56

 Walked around both cemeteries first and then over to the ball park loop.
Then continued all around town up and down all the side streets.

Up at the cemetery all the flags were put by the graves
who where veterans. 
The orange flags are for people who were firemen here in town.
You can tell how windy it was by all the flags being straight out.


These irises are a bright color on a dreary morning.


Rebecca was out walking.
I was leaving town when I saw her walking down her driveway.

It was just me, Debbie, and Jalene at the library for stitching this morning.
I knitted on the basket weave blanket,
Debbie was knitting socks,
and Jalene was crocheting a scarf.

Finished reading Where the Sky Begins by Ryhs Bowen this afternoon.
Everything I've read by her I liked.

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

Anonymous - No bus service here but there are school buses, so your bus shelter idea is a possibility.

Mama and Fawn


It was just cloudy for walking this morning,
but the air was so saturated that I felt damp.
 
Walked around the cemetery
the other cemetery 
and the ball park one time.
All the chickens were out and you will be happy to know
that the little wayward chick is back where she belongs.

Then over to the industrial park and walked all around in there.
Continued back through town and to the pond where my walk ended.

Looks like a road side stand is being built.
Maybe a vegetable stand.
Will have to see.


A peony about to bloom.


Spotted this purple and yellow iris.


Saw a man walking with a dog toward the end of my walk.
He was taking pictures of all the signs in town.

☁️    🥾    😊

Finished up some cleaning for the week.
I have a rolling pin collection and had them all standing up in a 
round wooden bucket.
Got tired of looking at them there so put them all
on a shelf under the table in the kitchen.
I use the table as an island.


Mama and fawn out back this afternoon.



That's my post for today.
Hope you had a wonderful day.
Thanks for stopping by.
