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

Thursday

 

On my drive to town I saw four deer.
Was at town and walking at 6:30.
It was a cloudy morning, 52 degrees happy to report no wind.
Sunrise 6:34

Had a book to return to the library so went there first and put it down the drop.
When I was there a car pulled in the parking lot and I heard my name.
It was Don, who works at the garage in town.
The work on David's Jeep was done. Don must have written down the wrong number because he couldn't get in touch 
with David, which is why he came looking for me.  
I told him I'd tell David.  
I texted David to tell him. 
 About 45 minutes later I see see David walking in town. 
He had walked to town to get his Jeep. 
We walked together for a little bit and then David went and got his Jeep.

Had my usual walk all around town, both cemeteries, and the ball park.

Baby Blanket day at church so right after breakfast I headed out to church.
There were 12 of us there today.
Food was provided by Denise and Dorothy gave the devotional.


Always enjoy my morning with the ladies.

By afternoon the sun was shining.
It was a little cooler today and not quite warm enough for porch sitting.
I did go outside though and walked around Happy trails a bit.

Happy Thursday and thanks for stopping by.
happyone❤️

Anonymous - I have read the Phillip Gulley series and enjoyed that as well. It would be nice if I knew your name so I didn't have to call you Anonymous. 🙂

LJ Lowe - Happy to know you enjoy reading my blog.  Thank you for those kind words.

Dianna - Thanks for the naming of the double old fashioned daffodil.

A lazy day

 

6:00 we had a thunder storm pass through but by the time I
was ready to leave for my walk it was gone.
The road was wet when I left my house but 1/2 mile away the road
was dry as it was in town.
We must have been at the very edge of the rain.

I got to town at 6:30 and it was cloudy, 55 degrees and no wind.
Sunrise 6:35

Walked around the lower cemetery first and then the one on the hill.

Went over to and all the way around the big barn.  
Some of the cows have been let out to pasture, I would guess about half of them.

Pretty sure these are some of the cows that were in the barn.
I took this picture with the barn behind me.


Next I walked over to the ball park and made a loop around there
and then back to the pond.
Continued up to the main road where I saw my little friend Kinsley
just walking out the door at the day care to wait for the school bus.
Just enough time to get a big hug from her before the bus arrived.
Her bus driver is one of the ones who always waves to me.

Passing by the new white house in town, I saw a young woman
sitting out back reading.
I smiled, said good morning and welcome to Accident.
She smiled back and said thank you.
I'll probably see more of her as time goes by.

Found a Penny in the library parking lot.

Kind of a lazy day, doing really do much.
Did sit out on the porch again, this time Ken with me.
I finished reading another book,
Night of Miracles by Elizabeth Berg which I thought was very good.
It is the sequel to The Story of Arthur Truluv which was just as good.
That one was a book club selection that we all loved.

That's going to be it for today.
Happy Wednesday and thank for visiting.
happyone🙂

Rose - Sorry, forgot to answer your question yesterday.  Yes, I've read all of the James Herriot series and liked them a lot.  Also have watched the TV series, new and old.

Mari - The yellow flower from yesterday was the only one in the middle of a bunch of daffodils so I'm assuming its a fancy daffodil.
