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

July Photo Challenge

 I'm joining ChrissyT on the 
July Photo-a-Day Challenge

July 1
Outdoors

Standing on my front porch

72 degrees when I walked this morning.
It was cloudy with only a little breeze.  
It was a hot morning for here and I did get pretty warm.
I'd much prefer walking in cold weather than hot.
Rather it be 30 than 70.

But still it was great to be out walking.
First walked around both of the cemeteries.
There is a saying of the corn being knee high by fourth of July.
Well today the corn has passed the knee high mark and is
now waist high.



Continued on walking to the ball park and walked around there.
It is cooler there so walked around it a few more times.
Then through town, up and down some side streets and back to the pond.

Thomas was out running laps around the ball park.

Did some more house cleaning.
Moved a few things around in the living room.

Sat out on the porch this afternoon and read.
While out there I moved the porch furniture around too
and gave the porch a good sweeping.

It was sunny and the temperature got up in the mid 80's
but there was a nice breeze.

Hope all is well in your world and you had a wonderful day.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

Got Milk?

65 degrees when I walked this morning.
A little fog around and then a mix of sun and clouds.
Not much of a breeze.

Walked up the hill and around the cemetery to start.

You can see how big the baby geese got - not babies anymore.


 The field has been mowed down.
I bet tomorrow I see rolled hay here.


Stopped at the Jeep and picked up another book which I
brought to the library and put it down the slot.

Continued on over to the industrial park and walked around some of it.
Then over to the ball park and walked around there before
going back to the pond.

Rebecca was out walking and we passed each other twice.
Carrie was walking too - nice to see her again,
it's been a while since she's been walking.

I think this is called
Butterfly Flower.
Edited - Ginny identified this as Butterfly Milkweed.
Thanks Ginny

Washed a load of clothes and them hung out on the line.
Then off we went to Walmart to do our weekly food shopping.
Believe it or not they didn't have any milk so we had to 
stop at Shop and Save on the way home to get some.

Made another stop at the library to pick up another DVD and a book.

I got The River We Remember.
It's another book by William Kent Krueger.
Hoping this one will be as good as the other two I've read by him.
I'll start it later this evening.

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