Cathy's Place

✿     ✿     ✿     ✿

54 degrees this morning and sunny when I went for my walk.  The rest of the day as been mostly cloudy and with a couple light rain showers thrown in.

Stayed around town walking up and down all the streets here and around the cemeteries.  This tombstone caught my eye this morning.  : )  You will probably have to click the picture to read it.

I caused quite a ruckus walking down the road at the Drane House by the pond.  There were two geese walking down the middle of the road and I was thinking about taking their picture when out of the long grass in the field about a dozen more geese all flew out honking making their way to the pond.  Two geese families took off running down to the pond, a few swallows started dive bombing me and the horses started neighing. : )

There seemed to be a lot more traffic than usual on the main road through town.  Probably people leaving the lake after the holiday weekend.

Didn't see any other walkers around.
I found a quarter.
Walked 5 miles.

Cathy asked if I'd like some rhubarb and asparagus to plant in my garden.  She is the woman we pick up and bring to church and gives us the eggs.  I told her I'd love to have some, so this morning we went over to Cathy's place.  She lives on 30 some acres and has two horses, two dogs, cats, hens, and geese.   Cathy not only gave us the asparagus and rhubarb plants but more eggs, a couple different kinds of lilies, and 42 stalks of rhubarb.

Some of her 32 chickens, and I did thank them for the eggs. : )

Here's Blackie.

Geese - the one with the brown on the left is Paulie.

I took a special liking to Ellie, a white Great Dane.  She came just about up to my waist and I could just stand and pet her.  Really cool dog.

It was an enjoyable couple of hours.

When we got home I planted all the plants and then we sat out on the porch and Ken read and I knitted.  

Life is Good.

Hope you had a happy day.

Kim - No, I didn't see the piper on my walk.  Across the street from our house is a War Memorial and they were having a ceremony for Memorial Day.  I actually zoomed in and took the pipers picture from my side yard.
