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

Happy 4th

 

A mix of sun and clouds and 61 degrees this morning for walking.

A very random walk all over town in no particular route or order.


Some people out and about getting ready for the parade later this morning.

Fire engines all washed and shiny.


Joy was out walking this morning and we stopped to talk.
She walks later in the day so I don't see her very often anymore.
Rebecca was out walking too.

Nice to see the fountain in the pond up and flowing again.
The heron paid a rare visit to the pond.
Don't know if you can see it in the picture.
I walked around to the other side to try to get a better picture
but it flew away.


This is the last of the gravestones with the detailed pictures on them.

Ken got started with the cleaning of the garage.
I finished up this weeks house cleaning
and made macaroni salad.

This afternoon I finished making the weave-it baby blanket
for Liz's first grandbaby.
Now I'm knitting booties with the same yellow yarn to go with the blanket.

David and Liz both had to work today so it's just Ken and I.
We had grilled hamburgers and the macaroni salad I made this morning.

It's been a beautiful cool sunny day again.
Perfect weather for summer as far as I'm concerned.

Hope you enjoyed your day.
Thanks for stopping by.

Farm Loop Walk

64 degrees this morning when I walked.
Started out cloudy and ended up sunny.


 This time I walked around the farm loop.



No people walking but 3 people on bicycles passed me.
They must have been in a race of some kind because they
all were wearing numbers.

Near the beginning of the farm loop where there are houses
a big friendly dog came barking to the edge of his yard.
The owner called him and the man put a leash on the dog.
It was the kind with the plastic part that reels the leash in and out.
Then when the dog started barking again I was surprised to see the man
take the plastic part of the leash and hit the dog right across
his back and say shut up.
The dog tried to run back to the house and the man tripped over the
dog and fell down.
I felt like saying, serves you right for hitting your dog.
But I didn't.
He was an older man and I asked if he was alright.

Not too long ago I was thinking that no way was the
corn going to be knee high by the 4th of July.
But we must have had just the right amount of sun and rain
because today the corn is past my knees and up to my thighs.


🌻    🌀    🌽

Another good day for laundry.
Dries quickly on a breezy sunny day.

We did a few things outside this morning.
Weeding
Trimming
Staking up the tomato plants.

Inside I got a bit of house work done.
Ken painted the ceiling over the shower with a couple coats of Kilz paint.
Looks good.
Now will see how well it works.

The yarn in my craft closet was quite a mess so spent some
time in there getting things organized.

Read a bit this afternoon and knitted too.

Beautiful sunny day in the high 70's today with a breeze.

We had left overs from the last couple of suppers
so we ate that for supper this evening.

Hope your Thursday was a great one.
Thanks for stopping by.
