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

Skies, Walking, Working



A great morning for a walk.
It was 55 degrees, no wind, and a nice mix of sun and clouds.

First walked around both of the cemeteries.


On the way to the cemetery up the hill I noticed these
three deer in the corn field.
Two are pretty easy to see in the picture with the sun on them.
The third you might not able to see.
She is way to the left of the others by the trees.


Went down to the barn by the Drane house
(which is in the picture above)
and there was one bull in the barnyard and it made me
smile to see the hay on his head.
Not much left of his scratching post.


Continued walking all around town and went up behind the
house that we lived in when we were in town.
Sean was out working in his yard.
I think his yard looks like a park!


From there I continued over to the ball park and walked around
that loop and then back to the pond.

I saw Rebecca out walking enjoying the beautiful morning.

Got the bathroom cleaned before we had to leave for a
work day at church with the Fingerprint Ministry.
Only a skeleton crew at first but then later in the
afternoon a good number of people showed up.
Don't have a count of books finished today but will at the end of tomorrow.

Enjoy working at this ministry but nice to be home now and relaxing.
I'll be doing a little reading and a little knitting later,
and of course having my cup of ice cream.
Yes, most evenings I still have my ice cream.
Lately I've been having chocolate chip mint.

It's been a great day and hope yours was too.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

To the dentist

A beautiful sunny morning walk for me today.
It was a nice cool 51 degrees.

Walked around both of the cemeteries and then back
down the road towards home with a detour up and down
part of Barn Sale road.

A couple of pictures walking on Barn Sale.


 

Coming back into town.


Continued through town and back again.
As I passed by the dentist office one of the dentists was just
arriving at the office.
We said good morning and I said I'll be seeing you a little bit latter.

Headed on back to the pond and the Jeep.


No one else out that I saw.

Yesterday I retired another pair of walking boots and 
wore a new pair this morning.
I wear Keen boots.


๐Ÿ™‚    ๐ŸŒธ    ☀️

Did a couple loads of laundry and hung them out to dry.


Gave my teeth a brushing and then we went to town
to go to the dentist for that dreaded 6 month cleaning.
We always make both of our appointments together
and I always go first to get it over with. 
So happy to say that we both had the regular cleaning
and no problems.
So glad that is over with.
Next appointment is for Jan 13, 2027!!
Oh my that sounds so long away but it really isn't.

While Ken had his turn I walked to the library (less than a half mile) 
and picked up a couple more DVD's and then walked back to the car
and read a couple of minutes till Ken was done.

Home for lunch and then we went back out to again.
This time to the bank.
What should have been a simple transaction took an hour.

Not much time to do anything else when I got home.
Got the laundry off the line, folded and put away.

Just having a quick frozen pizza for supper and then
out again for church this evening.

Hope you had a wonderful day.
Having a good check up from the dentist is always a good day.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
