The Biggest Strawberry

Another pretty morning for walking.  54 degrees, sunny and a slight breeze which today felt nice.  It sure is nice being able to walk without all those extra layers on.  I feel lighter and able to walk faster. : )

I walked the Farm Loop, went right past my house, through town, around one cemetery, around cemetery number two, around the loop behind the ball park and home.  After walking the FL I usually just walk randomly around town.  Today I wanted to make a direct route to see how many miles it would be.  It was 6.7 miles.

I spotted this duck down by the stream that runs through Farmer Bill's farm.  Had to zoom in on him.  I don't know what kind he is.

There were a few fishermen around the town pond and I was two farmers out working on this beautiful morning.

Yesterday I forgot to post the picture of a strawberry that I used in the fruit salad I made.  It was the biggest strawberry I've ever seen.  I ate a piece of it too and it was very sweet.  Here it is in the palm of my hand.

Dandelions have been popping out all over the place and all my neighbors yards are covered in them.  I for one think they look pretty in a green lawn and like them.  We only have a few in our yard, but I'm pretty sure next year we will have lots of them in our yard too.  The people who lived here before us had a lawn service who kept the weeds out.  I didn't want the chemicals in the yard so we don't use one.

I washed a large load of dark clothes this morning and the basket of wet clothes was heavy.  I wanted to know how heavy it was so weighed it.  It was 24 pounds.  Here they are blowing gently in the breeze getting dried.

Sitting in the chair by the window when I saw a bird fly up on the porch with some nesting material in it's beak.  It came and went a few times but I didn't catch what kind of bird it was.  I went outside to take a look at where the nest was being built and there it was in the forsythia wreath  Doesn't look like it is finished yet.  I'll be keeping an eye on it.

Well, I'll be leaving for the Mother/Daughter banquet in just a little while.  It starts at 6:00 but I'm leaving here at 4:00 to get there early to help set things up.  It should be a fun time.  I'm taking my camera so maybe I'll get a few pictures, if I don't forget.

Hope your Friday is a happy day with lots of sunshine.
happyone : )
