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

Umbrella

Happy September
68 degrees and cloudy this morning for walking.
Sunrise 6:45

Walked over to the library first to put a DVD down the drop. 
Then continued to the industrial park and walked around there.



Back to town and around the ball park loop and new road loop.

Stopped to talk to Anna and her dad Mark.

Pretty quiet around town on this first day of September.


☁️    😊    🍁

We only needed a few things this week so didn't make
the trip to either Walmart this week.
We just went to Deep Creek to the Shop and Save
which is just 7 miles down the road.
We went after lunch which was unusual for us.
Usually if we have to go anywhere we go in the morning.
We got a new kind of ice cream.
I thought it was by Edie but couldn't find the name on the container.
Anyway it is called KitKat.
Just had to try it and will have some tonight!


I'm looking forward to a rainy walk.
Why you ask?
Because Ken surprised me with a nice big new umbrella.
My old one after 14 years has seen better days.
I now have a nice big pink one and will be easily
seen on those rainy mornings.



That's going to be it for today.
Thank you for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day.

Anna Says Thank You

 A lot of clouds and a little sun this morning.
No breeze and the sun rose at 6:44.


It is just a bit too dark when I get to town to walk the cemeteries
so I walked around town first.

Then walked around all the 4 loops.
New Road
Ball Park
 Two Cemeteries

I was walking down the hill from the cemetery
and saw Anna and her dad Mark walking up to it.
When Anna saw me she ran all the way up the hill to meet me.
She was so excited to say thank you for the birthday card I made her.
It made me happy to be able to bring her so much joy with just a card.

The cosmos look so pretty all along the fence.


RuthAnn was out walking her dogs.
Stopped to say hi to the lady who runs the day care in town.
I saw Carrie coming down her driveway to start her walk as I was leaving.

☁️    😊    ⛅️    🚶‍♀️

Had to hang the sheets over the drying rack in the house
because it was a little drizzly out today.

We took our garbage to the dump this morning

I got some cleaning done.

Finished sewing the weave-it baby blanket together.
You can see it 

Thank you for stopping by and hope you had a wonderful day.
HappyK 🙂

Ginny - I would say Ken cooks about 1/4 of the time.  A lot of times we cook together as well.
