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 mix of sun and clouds as I went on my morning walk today.
It was 65 degrees with a little breeze.


Stayed to the left side of the main road and walked around
both of the cemeteries and to the ball park and walked around there too.
Then back to the pond.


Continued up to the main road and walked up and down that and
and also up and down sides streets.

Saw a couple of deer go running into the corn field here.


Only the one bull out in the barnyard.


A new fire hydrant was put in at the building site for the new houses 


I didn't see Sheila but did see her car in the parking lot
so she was somewhere around town.

We haven't had French toast in quite a while so
I made us some for breakfast.

Haven't done any diamond art for a while so today
I made a birthday card for someone whose birthday
is this Friday.

Did some more reading and knitting too.

Supper is cooking on the stove.
Having Mexican Beef Skillet.

That's it for today.
Hope you enjoyed your Wednesday
and thanks for stopping by.

Happiness is a butterfly, 
which when pursued, 
is always just beyond your grasp, 
but which, 
if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

A delightful morning for walking.
63 degrees and sunny
Sunrise 6:01

Began my walk going around both of the cemeteries.
Then through town to the ball park and around that loop a couple of times.
Continued all around town till I had all my steps and then headed
back to the pond.

This farm pond is down in back of the Drane house.


I usually end my walk here over looking the pond.
Always so peaceful.


Shelia was out doing her laps around town.
Saw Carrie walking and also Anna and her Dad Mark.

As I got home from walking I was greeted by my neighbor cows. 
They had escaped again. ๐Ÿ™‚



Ken said they had been all around the house a little earlier.
They eventually found their way back home like they always do.

We didn't need all that much this week so we just went to
the Shop and Save this morning to pick up a few items.
Nice not to have to make the Walmart trip this week.

Got a bit of house cleaning done this morning.

Did a little reading and also got some knitting done.
Still working on the basket weave baby blanket.

That's all for today.
Hope you had a wonderful Tuesday and
thanks so much for stopping by.

Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, 
not because they never found it, 
but because they didn't stop to enjoy it.
