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

Growing Geese

Once again I have a sunny day for my morning walk.
It was 55 degrees and calm.
I've been waking up early because it is so light out so have
been getting my walk started early.
I was to town and walking at 6:15.
Sunrise is now 5:50

 Had my usual walk all over town, both the cemeteries,
and the ball park too.
It was very random and went in no particular order.

The corn in the field is now about 4 inches tall.


From a distance I first thought this mushroom was a ball.


Took another picture of one of the geese families to show you
how big the babies are getting.
All the babies in the other families are the same size too.

Looks like some kind of event will be happing here at the pond
with the tent all set up.


It was another delightful walk and makes me so thankful that I
have such a wonderful town to walk around.

Didn't see anyone else out.
Won't be seeing the buses in the morning for a while,
today is the last day of school.

😊    🥾    ☀️    🌸

Did my usual morning routine around the house this morning.

Didn't do much of anything this afternoon.
Mostly sat out on the front porch and read.
Ken joined me at one point and read too.

Then I came inside and made the pizza dough
and in just a bit after it finishes rising Ken will make our pizza.

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

Melody - I'm reading The High Tide Club by Mary Kay Andrews.  About half finished and it is quite good.

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.
HappyK🙂

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!
