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

Goodies from the auction

Barn down near the Drane House.  The picture of the horse and her baby that I posted the other day live there.

68 degrees when I walked this morning but it didn't feel that warm.  It was cloudy and a bit foggy in places.  Felt like rain but never did until later in the morning.
I walked the Farm Loop and around town.

I saw four deer in one of the fields.  They were all together and looked young.

Over at Farmer Bill's farm there were four young calves romping around playing and I watched them for a while. 

Cow Number 14 lives up the road a piece at another farm.  I've never met anyone who lives there yet.   Her calf was behind the bush.  After I passed by, Number 14 went back to eating the white flowers on the bush there.
Saturday's are quieter than during the week.  So nice to be out walking early in the morning.
I walked 6.3 miles

Over at the Fire House in Mc Henry there was an auction and right after breakfast we headed over there.  It was an auction to raise money for the new addition being added on the fire house.
One of the items we wanted and bid on was a 20 ton truck load of stone which would have come in handy at HT but it went for more that we wanted to spend.  We didn't get that but did get a few other items.  A microwave (for HT) a box of books, two outside lights, and a little table which I'm going to paint and put in the spare bedroom.
We got all of this for only $7.
Home this afternoon just puttering around the house.  It has been raining on and off and we even saw a little bit of the sun.

Hope you are all enjoying your Saturday.
A happy day to you.

Tomas - I'm thinking you meant to say walk instead of ride?
I walk every day -  no day off. : )  
Only some times in the winter when the weather is just too bad.

I love the picture of the red barn!

It looks like you have some good buys at the auction.

We've had some rain here this afternoon. It was really needed.

Enjoy your evening!

That red barn is gorgeous! What a great photo. Seven dollars for all that? Grrrrreat deals! On stormy winter days, you won't have to go to the library.

You live in such a beautiful area. I love all the GREEN in your pictures. Not that much green here in AZ. The auction sounds fun. Great finds. What books were in the box? Have a good Sunday.

Four deer and four calves. They could be buddies, eh? Well, maybe not. Nice things you got at the auction while helping to support a good cause. Hope that your Sunday was a good one.
