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 under cloudy skies this morning with just a little
peek of the sun for a few minutes.
The temperature was 60 degrees.
Found a dime.

First walked around both of the cemeteries.
Went down the farm road to the long barn.
All the cows are out in the pastures this time of year
and the few left in the long barn are ones that Farmer Marvin
is keeping eye for on various reasons.



Coming back from the barn here on the farm road.


Continued walking to the ball park and around there.
Then back to the pond going through town up and down all the side streets.

Saw Lena and Rebecca out walking together.
(Mother and daughter)

Nono's Pizza in town which has been closed for quite a long time 
is now for sale.
When we first moved here it was a bar, then a cafe type place, 
and then the pizza place.
Details about it you can find HERE.
There are loads of pictures and some good arial shots of the whole town.

Stitching morning at the library.
7 of us there and as always had a fun time.

The oldest women there was Aunt Lois.
She is Lena's aunt but we all call her Aunt Lois
and she is 93 years old.
She still does beautiful embroidery work and quilts.
The youngest girl there today was Madison who is just 8
and is learning to knit.
She is Jalene's granddaughter and Aunt Lois is her
Great, great aunt.

I knitted while I was there and have finished
the basket weave baby blanket that I've working on
it seems forever.
I love the pattern and color but am glad to be done with it.

Just doing a bit of this and that around the house 
this afternoon.

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

This morning when I walked it was 55 degrees.
Mostly cloudy but the sun did peek out from the clouds every so often.
Sunrise 6:09

Walked around both cemeteries to start.


Then stopped at the Jeep to pick up a couple DVD's and
then put them down the drop at the library.

Next went over to the ball park and walked around there a couple of times.


Continued all around town up and down all the side streets.

John was out walking Prim and I saw them 3 different times.

When I got back home I noticed
a couple of cows out back helping to keep the weeds down.

Left right after breakfast for another day
of working at church doing Fingerprints.
Again not a great turnout but we still got
7,697 Romans books all done and packed up.

Looking forward to some home made pizza in just a little while.

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