Bookmarks

Temperature was a comfortable 63 degrees as I started my walk this morning.  No special route today.  I started by walking over to see how the pool was coming along.  Wanted to get there early before anyone started working.
This is as close as I could get to the pool without stepping over the string marking where the fence is to go.  I didn't want to walk in their yard. There is already water in the pool and looks like people have already been sitting out there!

 A fence has started being put up.

From there I just walked around on the sidewalks along the streets.  A giant sunflower towers over some pretty flowers below.  There were a couple of gold finches around but I couldn't get a picture of them.

A deer stands still in a front yard looking like it is a statue.  As I approached closer it took off running across the street.

As I was walking down the road a woman who I don't know says to me, "Hi, how is your son doing?"  I looked at her and said my son is just fine, but I think you have mistaken me for someone else.  She asked if I had a son in fourth grade.  Told her no and then she said I looked just like someone else.  I thought to myself, how nice that she thinks I'm young enough to have a son in the fourth grade! : )

I then made my way over to the school and picked up a path there,  walked along the road for a while and got on another path where I saw my walking friends Petey and John (the 89 year olds).  Stopped for a little chat with them and then continued on home.

I found three lucky pennies.
I walked 6.5 miles.
13404 steps and I left the house at 6:30 and was back home at 8:15.

I found out what kind of bug that was yesterday that I took a picture of.   I had two opinions in the comments and Anita said it was an Assassin Bug which I believe it to be after looking it up HERE.  Thanks Anita. : )

I have been collecting bookmarks for quite a few years and have quite a lot of them.  I keep them all in a tin but I think I'm going to figure out some better way to keep them.  Maybe all in a photo album so they can be organized and I'll be able see them better.

Here is just a sample of some of my collection.

 I have four bookmarks that my kids made for me when they were little. : )

 And this is the latest addition to my collection.  It came as a surprise in the mail one day a few weeks ago from a special blogger friend of mine Kim.  She was on vacation when she spotted this and she said it made her think of me.  She knew I liked ladybugs but I don't think she had any idea that I collect bookmarks. Thanks again Kim! : )

I'm enjoying my day at home doing a bit of this and that.  A very nice day out and I'll be spending some time out on the deck in a little while.

The first disc of Season 5 of Dexter came in the mail from Netlix so we will be watching that this evening. 

Hope all is well with you and that you are enjoying your day whatever you may be doing.
A smile from me to you.
Happyone : )

Don't worry that children never listen to you;

worry that they are always watching you.
