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

Tuesday

When I went for my walk this morning it was 67 degrees.
A mix of sun and clouds and a breeze to keep things cool.
Sunrise is now a nice early 5:59.

Walked around both of the cemeteries first.


 The geese families were around the pond and now
when I walk by they don't all run to the water.
They just stay and watch me walk by.

Thought these little ant hills were pretty neat on the paved path
around the cemetery.


Stopped at the Jeep and picked up a couple of DVD's
and then walked to the library to put them down the drop.

From there I walked over to the ball park and walked that loop
a couple of times.
Bill was there mowing the grass.
Then it was up and down the side streets till I had all my steps in.

What I like about this toy is that you can tell kids play on it. 
You can tell by the worn out grass.
It is at one of the day care places in town.


Nice to see Shawn out walking this morning.
Haven't seen her in a long time.
Rebecca was also out walking.


Clover on the edge of the library parking lot.

Tuesday we usually go food shopping and we did that this
morning at Walmart.

By the time I got everything put away it was just about lunch time.

I've been on a crossword puzzle kick and did a couple of them this afternoon.
Read a while out on the porch till a thunderstorm sent me inside.
It was very windy and the rain was coming straight onto the porch.
Just about done knitting my pink slippers, should finish this evening.

Hope your day was a good one.
Thanks for stopping by.

🥾 🐄 🪿 🍪

A sunny morning with a few clouds for walking today.
61 degrees.

Walked around the lower cemetery first and passing by the
pond on the way up the hill to the other cemetery I saw the geese.




Went down by the Drane house to take a picture of the bulls.


Then walked over to them.
This guy looks mean but is quite nice and when I put my hand out
he just sniffs it, like a horse would.


Farmer Marvin was driving down the road that way
and stopped to say hi.
I see him most days and every so often he'll stop.
He told me these 5 bulls are herd bulls and will be going to another
pasture in a week or two with the cows.

From there I walked around town up and down all the streets
and over to the ball park and around there before going back
to the pond.

By the end of my walk it was 68 degrees and I was
getting a bit warm.

No one else out walking on this beautiful morning.

😊    🌸    🌤    🥾

Got the sheets and one other load of clothes washed and hung out on the line.

Then I baked some Chocolate Chippers.
On Thursday a couple of people are coming over to see Ken's train layout.
They are going to take a video for their YouTube channel. 
It's been a tradition for years for me to bake Chocolate Chippers 
whenever anyone comes over to see the trains.
So this batch of cookies is for that.

Got some work done around the house and had time
to sit out on the front porch with Ken or a little while.

Supper tonight is Macaroni and Cheese with some broccoli on the side.
I make it with Velveeta, Mozzarella, and Cheddar cheese. 

That's it for this post.
Hope you enjoyed your day and it was a sunny one.
Thanks for coming by.
HappyK😊
