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 walk with the umbrella this morning.
It was 70 degrees and rainy to start.

First walked over to the post office and mailed a card.

Then to the ball park and walked around the loop a couple of times.


Continued walking around town and heard a big clap of thunder
so thought I'd better go back to the Jeep.
BUT that was the only thunder I heard and by the time I was
back to the Jeep the rain had stopped.

Left the umbrella in the Jeep and walked around both of the cemeteries.
First the lower one and then up the hill to the other one.
By that time I started to see some blue sky.


Anna and her Dad Mark were out walking again.

The second Thursday of each month is when my book club meets.
Blankets for Babies and Seniors usually meet on the
third Thursday of every month.
But next week is Bible Time so it was a week early.
So both things were on the same day.
I chose to go to church for blankets.
There were 10 of us there this time.
Ken came along too and did some work for Pastor.

Did a few things around the house and then read.
It was raining again so read inside today.
Periods of both rain and sun today.

Haven't made it yet but after supper I'm going to make
Strawberry Short Cake for our snack later this evening.
That will take the place of our usual ice cream.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Hope you enjoyed your Thursday.

Early morning fog during my walk and then just cloudy.
Temperature 67 and not much of a breeze.

Started my walk walking back down the road I just drove up.


Turned around and back to town made a detour up and down 
Sale Barn Road.


Back in town I walked up and down the main road and some
side streets on my way to the ball park and walked that loop.
Then back to walk around the cemeteries.
Only one of them because I had reached my step goal.

Pretty quiet around and didn't see anyone else out.

Pink, white, and red cone flowers.
(not mine)

Fog cleared and the sun appeared so I did a load of
laundry and hung it out to dry.

Got to a late start cleaning this week but got pretty much 
all of it done today.

Later in the afternoon I spent some time out on
the front porch reading.

Easy supper tonight, Red Baron frozen pizza.

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

Happiness is when what you think, 
what you say, 
and what you do are in harmony.
