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 Good Day

 Started my walk this morning walking up and down the main road 
and up and down a few of the side streets.

Then walked around both of the cemeteries.
Rebecca was walking around there too.
Continued through town again over to the ball park 
and walked around there too

The temperature was 39 degrees and sunny.


Dame's Rocket can now be seen all over.


Up and down a couple more side streets on my way back to the pond.

Spotted a For Sale sign in town.


This is the same house where the garage has been being built for the last year or so.


Was surprised to see the For Sale sign because they have done 
a lot of work both inside and outside.
They have probably over built for this town because I can't imagine
they will get their asking price of $650,000
It is beautiful inside and sits on 5 acres of land.

Another load of laundry done today and out on the line to dry.

Then we left for food shopping at Walmart.
Hardly anyone was there and the nice thing was we
didn't see any of the shoppers with the huge blue carts shopping for others.

After lunch I went outside to do a few things.
I bought more bean seeds and planted them outside.
The beans that I started inside and planted outside much too early
all died so thought I'd start over.
I should have known better than to put them outside before the end of May.
Also scattered some pansy seeds in a couple of big pots outside.
After that I stayed out putting more branches on the brush fence.

Supper tonight is Roasted Vegetables with Italian Sausage
which is in the oven now.

Well, that's all I have for today.
Hope you had a wonderful day and 
Thanks for coming by.

Ginny - The Red Baron pizza we had yesterday was 4 cheese.

Ann - No, didn't get any cookies at Subway but I was tempted!!

GrannyM -  I changed themes on my blog and maybe the font got a little smaller.  It looked the same to me but I did make it bigger.
Is it better now? Did you know that you can make the writing on your computer larger if you hold the command key down and then hit the plus key? At least it works that way on an Apple.

Any others find the FONT too small?

One fine day

A cloudy morning today for walking.
41 degrees and no wind.
Sunrise is a nice early 6:06.

Started my walk going down and up the main road through town
with turn offs up and down the side streets.

Some pretty yellow daisy looking plants 
along the side of the road but don't know the name.
I'm sure you will know what they are Tom 😊


Next I walked around the one cemetery and then the
cemetery up the hill.

A bird must have built a nest somewhere in this tree because
every time I get near it, a couple of black birds
start dive bombing me.


Continued walking to the ball park and around that loop a couple of times.
Thomas was there too running laps.
This is behind the park.


Lots and lots of skunk cabbage.


Then walked back to the pond and the Jeep and home again.

☁️    🌼    🥾    😊

 The sun came out and it was a beautiful sunny day though a little on the cool side.

The sheets got washed and hung out on the line to dry.

We took our garbage to the dump and on the way home we stopped
and had lunch at Subway.
Haven't been there in years and so it was a treat.
Our 6 inch sandwiches were really good.
I had the oven roasted chicken and Ken had the Italian one.

We worked outside when we got home.
This time getting the branches and dead small trees cleared
in the woods on the right side of the driveway.
Ken cut and I stacked on the brush fence.
We both cut down a bunch of sticker bushes shoots
before they get to growing.
Lots more work to do but we made a good start.

Once in side I read for a while.
I had forgotten all about the sheets on the line so got them
in and made the bed.

It's one of those days we just don't feel like cooking so it's
a Red Baron frozen pizza supper for us.

That's been my day so far.
Thanks for stopping by.
Hope you had a wonderful day.
HappyK😊

You don’t always need a plan. 
Sometimes you just need to breathe, trust, let go, 
and see what happens.
