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

Saturday

As I walked around town this morning I listened to a gentle rain 
falling on my umbrella.
I first walked around both of the cemeteries.
Going past the pond I noticed the two geese I saw yesterday now have 7 babies.
Sorry for the poor quality of the picture.


At one point walking around town the rain stopped and I went back to the Jeep and dropped off the umbrella
Continued walking and about a mile away it started raining again.
Didn't bother going back for the umbrella because by the time I got back
 I would have been wet anyway so just got a bit wet.
Now instead of listening to the rain on the umbrella I heard in the leaves.

Went around the ball park a couple of times, 
through town again and back to the pond.

Nice to see Rebecca out walking and we ran into each other 3 different times.

There was no wind and the temperature was 50 degrees.


 ðŸŒ§    ☁️    🌧    🥾    😊

Today was the mother/daughter luncheon for the ladies of church for Mother's Day and I invited Liz to go with me.
It was held at a restaurant, The Hen House.
There was a small turnout with just about 20 people 
but we had a very nice time.
Good food, much laughter, an inspirational devotional, 
and a couple of fun games.
Didn't get home till 3:30.

I'm skipping supper tonight because I ate at the restaurant.
I brought Ken home my left overs and he'll have that for supper.

Hope you enjoyed your day.
Thanks for stopping by.

The last two cards

A cool 37 degrees this morning when I walked 
but there was no wind and it was sunny. 

Walked around the lower cemetery first and then 
back down the road towards home for a ways.
Turned around and walked back through town to the DG Market 
where I again turned around.
Continued up and down some side streets while heading back to the pond.


Then up the hill to the cemetery and around that loop a few times.
Back down the hill and to the Jeep.

Very quiet around town again and no one else out walking.

🌤    🥾    😊

Finished up a few chores around the house this morning.

Cool and windy this afternoon so we stayed inside.
I had a dozen diamond art cards to do and finished up the last two of them today.
They were really fun to do and now I'll have to get a new diamond art project to do.


Sure looking forward to our homemade pizza for supper this evening.
Dough just about done rising so Ken will be making the pizza in just a little while.

That's all for this post.
Hope you had a wonderful day.
Thanks for stopping by.
HappyK 😊

Chrissy - No, I don't plan out meals for each day.  I've tried that but a lot of times the meal I've planned for that day we don't feel like eating. The exception is pizza on Friday. So I just make a list of all the meals we could have during the week and then we pick a meal we feel like eating.
