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

No walk and the waterfalls

Rain rarely keeps me from my morning walk but it did this morning.
Torrential rain with thunder and lightning.

This is the little waterfall that Ken made on the side of our house.
Most days it is dry.
I took a short video so you could hear the sound.


We ended up going down to LaVale.
Ken needed to go to Harbor Freight.
We just needed a few things from Walmart so went shopping
at the one in LaVale instead of the one in Oakland where we usually go.
This one is so much nicer that ours.
It is bigger with wider aisles.

Bad news about our little raised garden.
We've had it for a few years and part of the bottom rotted out.
All the rain we had made it heavy and the dirt fell out the bottom.
Saved some of the plants by replanting them in the other raised garden
that we have with strawberries in it.
This one is probably about to rot out too.
Just hope it lasts for this season.

Read this afternoon and worked a little more on the cow X Stitch.

Hope you had a wonderful day.
Thanks for stopping by.

Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, 
is always beyond our grasp, 
but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

☁️ 🐄 🍪 🪡

Walked under cloudy skies this morning but at least nothing 
was falling out of the sky.
A slight breeze and 60 degrees.
Sunrise 5:54
Sun is already up by the time I leave now.

Started my walk going around both of the cemeteries.
Then went down the road back towards home a ways before
turning around and going back to town.

These are some of the cows I visited in the long barn who
are now out to pasture.
 

When I walked back up the road they were closer to the road.


My cat friend KitKat was on his way to the pond.


I walked through town up and down a few side streets and then headed
back to the pond.

Rebecca was out walking.
We weren't close to each other so just waved.

Baked a batch of chocolate chippers this morning.
These are for the kids at Sunday school.
Have one more batch to bake before I have enough.
These are for June 7.
I bake them ahead of time and put them in the freezer.

This is one of the babies who received a baby blanket from church.
They sent me a picture because it is one I made out of weave-its.


This afternoon I worked on the cow counted cross stitch.
I only last about an hour and a half before my 
eyes can't take any more.
Having the Ott light and wearing magnifying glasses sure help though.

Hope you had a wonderful day and
thanks for coming by.
HappyK🙂

Ginny - We don't grow anything on our property, it is all woods.  We've made walking trails and just keep things natural. They only thing that seems to grow is rocks!! :) We heat our house with propane.
