Day 4

Sparkle

The butterfly is the first diamond art project I did.

It is a lot more sparkly than the picture shows.

The streamer in the bush is more sparkly than the picture shows too.

A comfortable 68 degrees for walking this morning.

Sunny and calm and once again by mid morning there was a lovely breeze.

Walked the lower cemetery, around town town, over to and around

the ball park loop, more around town, and lastly the cemetery on the hill.

Finishing touches getting ready for the parade and festivities which

start with the parade at 11:00.

Food is served at the firehouse.

You can sit back here and eat.

Already at 7:15 I saw the first chairs along the parade route 

saving their viewing spots.

I saw Sheila running her laps around the cemetery.

We stopped for a 10 minute chat.

😊    🇺🇸    🧢    ☀️

We didn't go to town for the festivities.

We've been a few times before when we first moved here.

After you've been there a few years it is all the same.

Same parade, same food, same crafts for sale and just

a lot of people.

Washed and hung out a load of laundry.

Made some Potato Salad to go with the hamburgers we had.

We ate early afternoon sitting out on the front porch.

Also had some watermelon.

Spent a lot of time outside on the porch enjoying this

4th of July.

A thunder storm passing by chased me inside when

I started getting wet.

After that passed the sun was out again and quite a bit cooler.

Happy 4th of July.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hope you had a wonderful day.

Day 3

Food

It is NOT my birthday but here is a birthday cake

that Ken baked for me one year.

It is a 4 layer chocolate cake.

In between layers is chocolate pudding and raspberry jam

topped off with real whipped cream

The warmest weather so far at 74 degrees for this mornings walk.

Started off a bit foggy but soon it was sunny with some clouds too.

A still morning but the breeze picked up mid morning again.

Walked around both of the cemeteries to start again. 

Then over to the ball park and once again walked around there 

a few more times than normal to stay in the shade.

Then just walked around town trying to stay in the shade.

A few photos of the animals I talked to along my walk.

The Geese 

The chickens

This little (not so little anymore) black chick is my favorite.

He is usually outside the fence and seems like a character.

Interesting fence was put up.

Gives some privacy but you don't feel closed in.

I see some holes dug along the fence where maybe they will plant something.

Lots of activity going on around town.

Things getting cleaned, mowed, firetrucks getting washed and a

general tidy up for the parade and festivities tomorrow

in town for July 4th.

Didn't see anyone else out just walking though.

🙂    🇺🇸    🌤    🧢

We went out first thing this morning to get a few chores done.

While at Lowe's I bought a couple of plants for the porch.

I bought both of these for $15.

Spent some time on the front porch reading.

Warm but with a nice breeze.

Humming birds coming by and liking those petunias.

Used to put out feeders but they never came by.

Petunias, and they come a calling.

Looking forward to that homemade pizza in just a little while.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hope you had a wonderful day.

HappyK🙂
