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

1988

 My walk started out in cloudy weather.
Then it was a little misty but soon stopped and was just cloudy.
At the end of my walk getting back to the parking lot it started raining.
Perfect timing today.
Temperature was 67 degrees.
Late morning the sun came out.
We had periods of rain and sun all day.

The start of my journey around town was around both of the cemeteries.

This is the long barn seen from the cemetery.


The baby geese are almost the same size as their parents now.
Across the pond where you see the digging equipment is where
they are putting the new road in.


Continued my journey up and down side streets and over to
the ball park.
A baby chick had escaped again and I discovered where they are getting out. 
I tried to catch it and it ran here under the gate and back in the yard.


From there I walked back to the parking lot just as it started raining.

No one else out today that I saw.

Got some chicken started in the slow cooker first thing.
Then got some house chores out of the way,
did my exercise DVD, had lunch and then
my afternoon was time for fun.

This afternoon I did some diamond art.
Working on a set of 4 bookmarks.

June is my anniversary month of taking morning walks.
I started taking a morning walk all the way back in
1988 when I was 37 years old.
Some years ago I wrote a post about the history of me and walking.
If you are interested you can read that post

Thank you for stopping by today.
Hope you had a wonderful day.

Reading this afternoon

 It was a cloudy morning for walking and 65 degrees
with a little wind.
On the way to town I saw a few rabbits run up the road.
A pileated woodpecker was standing in the middle of the road.

Walked around both of the cemeteries.


Then down the road towards home and turned onto Barn Sale Road.


Walked back through town and over to the ball park and waked that loop.
Then up and down some side streets and back to the parking lot 
at the pond.

Rebecca was out walking around the cemetery.
When I got back to the Jeep two ladies were getting out of a car.
One of them said Hi Karen, we see you walking every day.
We're out for a short walk.
I have no idea who these ladies were!!

Left the house after breakfast and went to Walmart 
for this weeks food shopping.
Thinking about going to the Walmart in Lavale but we didn't 
need all that much so decided to go the one in Oakland as usual.

Didn't plan on reading all afternoon but started another
book and just kept reading!!
Three Weeks to Say Goodbye by C. J. Box.

Thanks for coming by.
Hope you had a wonderful day.
HappyK 🙂

The thing about starting a good book in the afternoon is that
you don't get anything done the rest of the day.🙂
