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

Ken's video

Though it was cloudy this morning it was still good walking weather.
65 degrees with a little breeze.

Today I walked the Farm Loop.
Here's some pictures along my way.
The three donkeys and Faith, the horse were busy eating.
They looked up at me and then went right back to eating.




No cars passed me as I walked down the long hill.


The cows were out in the pasture today and as I walked up to the fence 
they all started coming my way.


I walked up and down the path behind the school before heading
down the hill back to town.


I walked down the new road in town.
So far it is just hard packed dirt.


The tent that was at the pond yesterday was for a fishing event.


The parking lot was packed full when I got back!!

We almost went to the Celtic Festival in a little town not far from us.
I looked at their web page and it said tickets were $20.
Weren't sure we even wanted go so the $40 it would
have cost us made up our minds that we didn't really want to go.
So I went to the library for stitching with the ladies as usual.
There were 6 of us there today.

Did some diamond art this afternoon.
Have a kit to make bookmarks, the kind that go on a corner of the page.

Al published the first part of Ken's train layout on his
YouTube channel this morning.
This first part is them walking around looking at the layout 
talking about the different scenes and how some things were made.
It shows the details of the layout.
It is about a half hour video.
If you would like to see it click on the link.


In a couple of days Al will published part 2 of the video
which will be about the trains and seeing them going around the tracks.

We had a thuderstorm pass by this afternoon which
brought much rain and wind.

Hope your Saturday was a happy one.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

Growing Geese

Once again I have a sunny day for my morning walk.
It was 55 degrees and calm.
I've been waking up early because it is so light out so have
been getting my walk started early.
I was to town and walking at 6:15.
Sunrise is now 5:50

 Had my usual walk all over town, both the cemeteries,
and the ball park too.
It was very random and went in no particular order.

The corn in the field is now about 4 inches tall.


From a distance I first thought this mushroom was a ball.


Took another picture of one of the geese families to show you
how big the babies are getting.
All the babies in the other families are the same size too.

Looks like some kind of event will be happing here at the pond
with the tent all set up.


It was another delightful walk and makes me so thankful that I
have such a wonderful town to walk around.

Didn't see anyone else out.
Won't be seeing the buses in the morning for a while,
today is the last day of school.

Did my usual morning routine around the house this morning.

Didn't do much of anything this afternoon.
Mostly sat out on the front porch and read.
Ken joined me at one point and read too.

Then I came inside and made the pizza dough
and in just a bit after it finishes rising Ken will make our pizza.

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