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

Path around the school

56 degrees and cloudy when I walked this morning
after early morning rain.
By the end of my walk the sun was out
and the rest of the day was bright and sunny. 

After walking around both of the cemeteries I stopped
at the post office to put a card in the mail.
It was one of the diamond cards I made.
I put a thin piece of bubble wrap in with the card
and put 2 stamps on it.

From there I walked up the hill to the school.


You can see the school in the distance here from the cemetery.


There is a path that goes around in back of the school 
and I walked around there.
Here's where it starts.


Continues around here and behind the dairy cow farm.



Back to the front of the school.


Here I'm headed back down the hill to town.


By the time I got back to the pond I had all my steps in.
I like to go AT LEAST 10,000 steps
Today my steps were 11,286

Didn't see anyone else out.
Pretty quiet around town today.

We headed out to the dump this morning and got rid of our trash.
Then stopped in at the Shop and Save to pick up a few things.
No trip to Walmart this week.

Went outside again this afternoon and did more weeding.
Then like yesterday sat out on the front porch and read.

Tonight when I go to church I'm taking each of the young men
who helped us load up the trailer,
some chocolate chip cookies that I baked yesterday
to say Thank You.

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

10 houses!!! and 9 dozen cookies

Temperature was a chilly 46 degrees,
but there was no wind and it was sunny,
so a beautiful morning for walking.
By the time my walk ended it was 51 degrees.

Started my walk by walking around both of the cemeteries.
Just finished walking around the first one here and on my way 
to the other one.


Pretty neat to see the low cloud over there.


 On the way to the ball park I saw Bill and stopped to talk to him.
Asked him about the new road they are making and if they are
going to build a couple of houses there.
I was sure was surprised when he told me they plan on
building 10 of them.
Both of us can't imagine 10 houses in that space.
AND the houses are going to cost $400,000.
That is just crazy!!!
Will be very interesting to watch the progress of this endeavor.

Left Bill and went over to the ball park and walked around there 
a couple of times and then along the main road in town,
and up and down some of the side streets before getting
back to the pond.

Ran into Joe who used to have Bill's job when we first moved
up here and stopped to talk to him.

Some pretty blooms along my walk.

Bible Time is coming up next month at church and once again
I will bake, along with others, cookies for snack time.
I baked the first batch today.
Mixed up a double batch of chocolate chip dough,


and turned it into 9 dozen (108) cookies.


When I got done baking I realized that I never hung the clothes I
washed this morning out on the line.
So did that just before lunch.
Thought maybe I'd have to wash them over again but
they still smelled nice and clean.

We made a trip to the library this afternoon to pick up 2 books
for me and 2 DVD's for Ken that we had on reserve.

I went outside for a while this afternoon and pulled some
weeds out of the gravel.

Then sat on the front porch for a while.
Having tacos for supper so I'd better get started making them.

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