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

Oh no melted ice cream

55 degrees again this morning for walking.
Mostly sunny with a few clouds and a bit breezy.
Sunrise 6:57

Started my walk going around both of the cemeteries.


 The fisherman in the white truck was back again today as well as 3 others.

Then I went over to the ball park and walked around there as usual.
All the chickens were out and the rooster was up on the fence crowing for all he was worth.


Continued walking back to the pond and from there I walked down the main road towards home before turning around and going back to town.

These are the first tulips I've seen around town.


Such a nice time of the day to be out walking.
It was delightful. 😊

This morning we made a trip out to the dump to get rid of our trash.
Ken got a new tractor seat and we threw the old one out at the dump.

On the way home we stopped at the Shop and Save and picked up some ice cream to replace the two that we had to throw away.
Why you ask did we have to throw the ice cream away?

Last evening Ken went out to the freezer (in the garage) to get the ice cream and came in and said the freezer wasn't working.
The food was still cold so we stuffed everything into the refrigerator freezer.
The ice cream didn't make it.  It pretty much melted and was leaking out of the carton making a mess.

Well the good news is that the freezer wasn't broken at all but one of us didn't close the freezer door all the way.
Don't want to mention any names, but it wasn't me!! πŸ™‚

So today I cleaned the freezer and got all the food put back into it.

Finished up this weeks house cleaning and then this afternoon I worked on a diamond art card.

Hope you all enjoyed your Friday.
Thanks for stopping by.

Porch Reading

 
It was a morning of sun and clouds when I went walking.
The temperature was a nice warm 55 degrees and no wind.

Sunrise 6:59
Today was the first time that the sun rose before 7:00.
Only by one minute but each morning it gets better.

On my way to town I counted at least 7 deer down my road again.

The fisherman took the day off, he wasn't at the pond today.

John was out walking his dog Prim.  So nice to see them again.
It's been months since we walked the same time and we stopped and had a chat.

Pink and purple sky this morning.


Started out walking around both of the cemeteries.
Continued over to the ball park and walked that loop a couple of times.
Back to the Jeep to pick up a book and DVD and then headed over to the library to put them down the book drop.
I always call it the book drop but it says, Book Deposit.


Finished my walk by going up and down the main road and some side streets.

😊    🌷    🌀 

Nice day for doing laundry and I did 2 loads and had both loads hanging on the line by 9:45 blowing in a gentle breeze.

I made another diamond art card.
Didn't take a picture yet.
I'll wait till I do another one and post two at a time.

I started reading the book club book which is Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger which I liked right away.
Temperature got to 75 degrees and I sat out on the front porch to read.😊

That's it for this post.
Thanks for visiting.
Hope you had a great day.
