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 sunflower

Picture of the Day
Late blooming sunflower in my yard.
It is on the small side but has lots of buds about to open.
❤     ❤     ❤     ❤

50 degrees this morning with a mix of sun and clouds.  A completely random walk today just walking wherever my feet happened to take me. 

In the picture I'm coming down from the cemetery by the Drane house.  The church up ahead is on the main road in town.

There was a man and a dog walking around town and they must have been on a random walk too because we passed each other 4 times.

An uneventful walk but a good one never the less. 
I walked 6.2 miles.
Found a penny.
❤     ❤     ❤     ❤
We had planned on going kayaking but rain was expected so we decided not to go.  Ken went up to HT again and I stayed home. 

I finally got around to washing my car.  Nice to have a nice clean car again.

As it turned out it never did rain and we could have gone kayaking.  The clouds are moving in now and maybe we'll get that rain tonight.

We will be going to church this evening and I will find out how Betty is doing.

Hope your day had been a happy one.

just try missing one.

Was the penny heads up or tails up? :)

Another beautiful day :)

Just out of curiosity, it seems that the town you live in in quite small, is that the case?
Our town has about 6000 residents... small town.

That's one perfect sunflower you've got there! We haven't had any rain in California in a long, long time. Send some our way!

Your sunflower shot is lovely and if you stare at the center long enough it starts to move.
I love your walking areas, they are so pretty.
