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

Rain in the sun

Walking this morning it was 54 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds.


Working on the road.


Walked around town a while and then over to the 
industrial park and walked all around in there.
On the way there a big dark cloud came along and before long
I felt the first rain drops.
It ended up raining pretty hard for about a half hour.
But the funny thing was that the sun was shining the whole time.
So I was walking in sun but it was raining.
Hard to tell in the picture but it was pouring down rain.
You might be able to see the rain by looking at the dark trees.
It almost looks like it is snowing.


I was blessed to see this beautiful rainbow which stayed in
the sky for quite a while.


The rain eventually stopped and I dried off by the time I got
back to the Jeep at the pond.

Took this picture of the peony over at the library.


No one else out and about this morning.
When I got back home Ken said it never rained at the house!

Food shopping at Walmart this morning.
Ken gets way more annoyed shopping there than I do.
Especially after being in the Walmart down in LaVale which is so much nicer.
I have a feeling we'll be going down to LaVale next week. 
While we we shopping we ran into 4 people that we knew.
3 people from church and Debbie, my knitting friend at the library.

I did some counted cross stitch on the cow picture this afternoon.
Last time I worked on it, I realized that I used the wrong color
on part of it and spent the whole time painstakingly taking it out.
Today I redid that section using the correct color.
  Will take a picture of it when it looks like cows.

So ends this days post.
Thanks so much for coming by.
Hope you had a wonderful day.

With feet to take me where I go,
with eyes to see the sunset glow,
With ears to hear what I would know,
Oh God forgive me when I whine.
I'm blessed indeed, the world is mine

Another Sunny Day


 I'm getting spoiled with these sunny morning walks.
Another one this morning.
47 degrees and no wind.
Sunrise 5:51

Another walk starting around both of the cemeteries.
There is another geese family at the pond but I was too
far away to get a good picture.
This one has 4 babies.
Altogether there are 13 little ones there now.

Walked around town and up and down side streets.
Over to and around the ball park loop.
A few of the chickens.


From there I went back to the pond.

The fence between the car dealer and the old pizza place has
progressed a little.
Posts are all cemented in and more of the fence done.
Thinking someone may have bought the building and wonder
what will go there next.
It has been a bar, a cafe, and a pizza place since we have lived here.
Nothing lasts very long.


Such a pretty morning to be out walking but
didn't see anyone else out.

This is the last week I'll see the school buses.
The last day of school is Friday.
A little late this year because of all the snow days!!

Great day for laundry and I had all three of my lines full
and all was dried by noon!!!

Got the last batch of chocolate chippers made for the kids
at Sunday school for this coming Sunday.

The got most of the house cleaning done for this week.

Then this afternoon I did some reading.
Also knitting another pair of slippers.
The pink ones I just finished I gave to Liz because her 
current ones had a blowout.
I told her to take the pink ones and I'd just knit myself another pair.

Well that's going to be it for todays post.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Hope you had a wonderful day.
