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

Wednesday

✿     ✿     ✿     ✿

This morning it was 60 degrees and cloudy.  A little warmer than yesterday but it felt the same since the sun wasn't out today.

I walked around the ball park loop first and then both the cemeteries.

Saw a man walking his two dogs and then a woman who I haven't see before but she was too far away to say  hi too.  Kathy was out again walking too.


Walked through the main street in town and then down toward Happy Trails a ways, turned around, walked through down again and on home.

When I came back home Ken was sitting on the porch and I sat there with him for a while before going into the house for breakfast.

Walked 6.4 miles.

We needed a new dehumidifier for down in the basement so we drove over to Uniontown where the closest Home Depot is and bought one.  We were down that way at lunch time so we had a bit to eat at Olive Garden while we were there.  The soup and salad is a nice lunch and who doesn't love those bread sticks.

We were supposed to get some rain today but it never did rain.  Now I'll have to go outside and water the plants I planted yesterday.

Another old picture.  My grandparents on my mother's side with my Aunt Jean, Uncle Raymond, and Uncle Johnny.  My mother and her two younger brothers haven't arrived yet.  I called my grandfather Poppy and he died when I was 4.  My grandmother died when I was 17 and I knew her well and have pictures of her later in life and I just can't see my grandmother in this picture.  She looks totally different to me.

Hope all is well in your part of the world.
A happy day to you.

I love pictures of old barns....and black and white photos! ;-) We had rain yesterday....and wind. Had sticks to pick up out of the yard this morning. Glad you didn't get rained on during your morning walk.

That was such a pretty walk. I love eating at Olive Garden! Those bread sticks! Don't get to go much though.

I love "walking" with you, especially on days I don't get exercise myself except to do housework. You make my day a little lighter. Thank you.

Hello, I love the old barn and horse. Pretty flowers by the mailbox. Wonderful shot of your grandparents and family. I never knew my grandfather. I wish I had more old photos of my family. Wishing you a happy day and weekend ahead!

I grew up with my grandparents on my mother's side. My grandpa was my play mate as a child and he had wonderful patience with me. Such a nice photo of yours. Have a great day.

Beautiful header photo and shot of the horses at the barn!
the old photo is really lovely to have - I see photos of my grandparents but never knew them as they died before I was born.
