Walking and Kayaking

Another beautiful morning for walking with the sun shining and no wind.

Walked around both of the cemeteries.

No rain around but saw rainbow colors in the sky.

Walked over to the ball park and around the loop 

 and then back to the Jeep.

Picked up a DVD out of the Jeep and went down the main road in town.

Turned off and went to the library and put the DVD down the drop.

Continued around town some more and eventually made it back

to the pond.

It was so nice out that I walked a little bit farther than usual.

Most days I walk down here to the pond and look over the water

and say a word of thanks to God for another day.

😊    🥾    ☀️    🌸

The weather was so nice today.

Sunny and 70 so we decided to go kayaking at the Savage River Reservoir.

 

We have arrived at the reservoir and the kayaks await getting in the water.

Started paddling on very calm water,

just like glass.

We paddled to the beginning where the water comes in.

Then it was time to paddle back again.

The wind had picked up a bit and it was a little choppy.

Had a wonderful time out on the water.

Saw a mama duck and her 2 babies.

Tried to get a picture but I couldn't get close enough.

They kept swimming away from me and didn't want to frightened them.

Also saw a couple of frogs down by where the water comes in.

and some turkey buzzards soaring gracefully high up in the blue sky.

We really need to do this more often!!!!

Hope you had a wonderful day.

Thanks so much for visiting.

Ginny - No, didn't have my umbrella walking yesterday but sometimes it's nice to get wet in the rain. :)  It stopped in time for me to dry off by the time I was done walking.

Debby - No, not publishing my blog in the morning, still around 4:30 just before supper time.  Sometimes blogger just doesn't update right away. You can come directly to my blog and it will be updated.  Just doesn't update to reading lists.

Rain in the sun

Walking this morning it was 54 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds.

Working on the road.

Walked around town a while and then over to the 

industrial park and walked all around in there.

On the way there a big dark cloud came along and before long

I felt the first rain drops.

It ended up raining pretty hard for about a half hour.

But the funny thing was that the sun was shining the whole time.

So I was walking in sun but it was raining.

Hard to tell in the picture but it was pouring down rain.

You might be able to see the rain by looking at the dark trees.

It almost looks like it is snowing.

I was blessed to see this beautiful rainbow which stayed in

the sky for quite a while.

The rain eventually stopped and I dried off by the time I got

back to the Jeep at the pond.

Took this picture of the peony over at the library.

No one else out and about this morning.

When I got back home Ken said it never rained at the house!

😊    🌤    🌧    🌸

Food shopping at Walmart this morning.

Ken gets way more annoyed shopping there than I do.

Especially after being in the Walmart down in LaVale which is so much nicer.

I have a feeling we'll be going down to LaVale next week. 

While we we shopping we ran into 4 people that we knew.

3 people from church and Debbie, my knitting friend at the library.

I did some counted cross stitch on the cow picture this afternoon.

Last time I worked on it, I realized that I used the wrong color

on part of it and spent the whole time painstakingly taking it out.

Today I redid that section using the correct color.

  Will take a picture of it when it looks like cows.

So ends this days post.

Thanks so much for coming by.

Hope you had a wonderful day.

HappyK 🙂

With feet to take me where I go,

with eyes to see the sunset glow,

With ears to hear what I would know,

Oh God forgive me when I whine.

I'm blessed indeed, the world is mine
