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 bit of fog around again this morning and then it was a walk
under cloudy skies.
Temperature was 64 degrees and a slight breeze.


Today I started my walk by walking down the main road in the
direction I had just driven up.
Picture taken from the main road.


Once I was back to town walked around both of the cemeteries.

Then it was through town and up and down some side streets.
Didn't go around the ball park loop because I had all my 
walking steps in already.

Stopped at the church in town and talked to Lena who is one of
the women in charge of the rummage sale there.
I didn't look around because didn't want to see anything
I needed. ๐Ÿ™‚

I haven't seen the geese families all week.
They must have taken off for new adventures.

Didn't go to the library for stitching this week.
Everyone had other things to do this morning.

It was cloudy but I took a chance and did a load of laundry.
Glad I did because everything dried nicely before the rain came.

Finished reading a book and started one of the ones
I got yesterday.
Also did a crossword puzzle sitting out on the front porch.

Once I publish this post I'll go make supper
Broccoli Cheese Soup.

That's all for today.
Hope you had a wonderful Saturday.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

LisaLock- Yes, I've read most of all the books Alexander McCall Smith has written but the 44 Scotland St series is my favorite.  I love Bertie!!!

A cloudy morning walk today with just a little breeze.
The temperature was 68 degrees.
Sunrise 5:58

Started out walking around both of the cemeteries a couple of times.
The corn is now as tall as I am.
(5'5")


Walked down to the barn by the Drane house.
No bulls out in the barnyard today.


Next I walked to and around the ball park loop a couple of times.

Continued all around town, up and down the side streets
till I had all my steps in.

Lots of activity at the church in town.
They are setting up for their annual rummage sale.
They used to put prices on everything.
Now you just take what you want and make a donation.
Since they have been taking donations they make
double the money!!

Saw John walking Prim but they were too far away to 
talk to so we just waved.

Finished up the little bit of house cleaning for this week.
Then we went out and did a few errands.
One was to go to the library.
I had three books to pick up that were on reserve.


We had some rain today but some sun too.
It stayed on the cool side all day.

That's all for today.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Hope you had a wonderful day.
