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

Another Year

🌾     🌾
54 degrees this morning and it was sunny. 
Walked one of my usual routes - behind my house, through town, up Barn Sale
a ways, down toward Happy Trails, and back to town.  Then around the cemeteries
and ball park loop and back home once again.

Rebeca was out walking.  Nice to see her again, it's been quite awhile
since she was out.  I see people come and go and come again.

Walked 6.2 miles

 ðŸŒ¾     🌾
Today is the REAL Memorial Day, before they made holidays on Mondays
and it is also my birthday.  

Ken made cherry turnovers for our breakfast.

I did some more laundry - have to take advantage of these 
nice sunny days.

Did a bit more weeding out front and planted a couple more plants.
Ken took me out to lunch and we went to Brenda's for pizza and a salad.
Nice to have a GOOD pizza again after the pizza we had last week at the other place.

Had a nice chat on the phone with my friend Bernice.
We rarely get to see each other but not a day goes by that I don't think of her.

It's been a nice but quiet day and I am thankful for all my many blessings.

Life is Good
Hope your day was sunny and bright.

Happy Birthday Karen! Cherry turnovers! That sounds delicious. My mother used to call me at work and say, if you will come and spend the weekend with me, I will make you a cherry pie. How sweet that Ken made them for you!

Karen said...

I do find it strange that some holidays on certain days of the week. Like if birthdays worked like that mine would be the 2nd wednesday in August.

Happy birthday
