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

Another Sunny Day

Once again we have a beautiful sunny morning and day.
Sure nice to be out early this morning and walking.
It was 50 degrees and calm.

Started my walk going around one of the cemeteries.
Next went down the road towards home but took a detour
up Sale Barn road.


 

Walked through town and up and down the side streets
as I made my way over to the ball park and around that loop.
The four baby chicks are getting big.
Might be hard to see but there are 4 of them standing close together.


Continued walking back through town and up to the other cemetery
and walked around there to finish up my walk.

Swimming in the pond were not only the two geese families
that I've been watching, but three others have moved in too.
 A rare moment to catch all five families on the pond
at the same time.
Stayed for a little while watching them.


Nice to see Rebecca out walking on this beautiful morning.

😊    🥾    ☀️    🌸

Clothes out on the line blowing gently in the wind this morning.
A lovey sight to see.

Ken asked if I would bake some English Muffin Loaves
so I did that this morning plus finishing up my weekly
house cleaning chores.

Went outside for a little while after lunch.
Picked out a few weeds out of the gravel and just walked
around for a bit.
Then I sat out on the front porch and read for a while.

Sorry to say I've given up on the cow counted cross stitch.
I keep making mistakes and just can't see good enough.
It's complicated with so many colors very similar.
I'm not enjoying doing it so I figure why do it.
Have so many other things I enjoy doing.


Hope you enjoyed your Thursday.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

Debbie -  Summer temperatures here where I live range between the mid 70's to the mid 80's during the day.  Night temperatures range from the mid 50's to 60's. We do have some HOT days in the 90's once in a while but not as a rule.  The summers to me feel like one long spring!

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.
HappyK🙂

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.
