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

A bit foggy as I drove to town this morning.
Dodged quite a few rabbits and a few chipmunks too
as I drove down the road.


It was 70 degrees and once the fog burned off it
was a mix of sun and clouds.
No breeze at all when I walked but the breeze did
pick up by mid morning.

Walked around both cemeteries and the ball park.
I walked more loops than usual around the ball park
because it was in the shade and cooler.

Stayed on the left side of town and never went to the main road.

Someone is getting a new fence.
Yesterday the old wooden falling down fence was taken down.
Today a nice new white one is being put up.


Both Carrie and Rebecca were out walking this morning.

David and Liz are coming over for supper and game night later.
Liz is making us supper of some kind of pasta.
I was asked to make Eclairs so I made them this morning.
Easy to make but a lot of steps and it is time consuming.

Got some much needed window washing done this afternoon
and then it was porch sitting and reading time.

Sat in the living room under the fan and fell asleep.
Had a nice half hour nap.

Hope you had a wonderful day.

Ginny - Yes, we do live in the woods but our nearest neighbor is not that far away.  Our driveway is here on the left and the road dead ends into a farm.


Ellen - The corn is not people food but food for the animals, mostly chickens.

72 degrees when I walked this morning.
It was cloudy with only a little breeze.  
It was a hot morning for here and I did get pretty warm.
I'd much prefer walking in cold weather than hot.
Rather it be 30 than 70.

But still it was great to be out walking.
First walked around both of the cemeteries.
There is a saying of the corn being knee high by fourth of July.
Well today the corn has passed the knee high mark and is
now waist high.



Continued on walking to the ball park and walked around there.
It is cooler there so walked around it a few more times.
Then through town, up and down some side streets and back to the pond.

Thomas was out running laps around the ball park.

Did some more house cleaning.
Moved a few things around in the living room.

Sat out on the porch this afternoon and read.
While out there I moved the porch furniture around too
and gave the porch a good sweeping.

It was sunny and the temperature got up in the mid 80's
but there was a nice breeze.

Hope all is well in your world and you had a wonderful day.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
