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

Reading this afternoon

 It was a cloudy morning for walking and 65 degrees
with a little wind.
On the way to town I saw a few rabbits run up the road.
A pileated woodpecker was standing in the middle of the road.

Walked around both of the cemeteries.


Then down the road towards home and turned onto Barn Sale Road.


Walked back through town and over to the ball park and waked that loop.
Then up and down some side streets and back to the parking lot 
at the pond.

Rebecca was out walking around the cemetery.
When I got back to the Jeep two ladies were getting out of a car.
One of them said Hi Karen, we see you walking every day.
We're out for a short walk.
I have no idea who these ladies were!!

Left the house after breakfast and went to Walmart 
for this weeks food shopping.
Thinking about going to the Walmart in Lavale but we didn't 
need all that much so decided to go the one in Oakland as usual.

Didn't plan on reading all afternoon but started another
book and just kept reading!!
Three Weeks to Say Goodbye by C. J. Box.

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

The thing about starting a good book in the afternoon is that 
you don't get anything done the rest of the day.🙂

Blue Sky

 A sunny morning walk and a bit windy.
The temperature was 62 degrees.

Walked around both of the cemeteries and the ball park loop.
Then all around town in no particular order.

The sky was such a beautiful blue with not a cloud in the sky.



Not that there is ever a lot of traffic around here but even less
today with school closed for the summer.
Didn't see any people walking around but there was
a man fishing at the pond.

Sheet washing day again.
Got the sheets on the line and one more load of laundry.


They were all dried by lunch time!!

Did some house chores during the morning.

Puttered around this afternoon and did some reading.
Reading The High Tide Club by Mary Kay Andrews.
Just about done and will finish it later.
Pretty good book with lots of turns it in.

That's going to be it for today.
Hope you had a wonderful day.
Thanks for stopping by.
HappyK 🙂
