A walk up the hill

Vee - I know it is hard to believe but Scout will be 14 on the 5th.  Her brother Japhy is 11.  My two older grandkids, Antonio and Taryn are 26 and 24.

BettyC - I'll try but my little point and shoot camera doesn't take such great nighttime photos.

This morning when I left the house it was 68 degrees and mostly cloudy

but I did see a bit of sun at times.

I walked up passed the school and instead of turning right to walk the

Farm Loop I kept going straight and walked a mile and a half UP the hill.

 Looking to the right of the middle you can see the Dairy Farm that I walk

past along the Farm Loop.

 I'm near the top of the hill here and had some fantastic views.

You can see town off in the distance.

 A barn along the way.

It was quite a trek up but then I got to walk down the hill.

Once back to town I walked once around one of the cemeteries and home.

No one else walking or running this morning but I did see George driving by

and he stopped for a little chat.  He just got back from a holiday

kayaking in Canada.

 Nice to walk a different route this morning.

Walked 6.3 miles

Coins for the month of June were

1 quarter and 8 pennies for a total of 33 cents.

I've mentioned before that I'm in a walking challenge on a website 

where I record my daily steps.  

The goal is to walk 15,017 steps a day for a total of 5,481,205 at the end of the year.  Now that June is over we have hit the half way mark.

I am in 6th place with a total of 3,088,751 as of last night.

 That is NOT just my MORNING walk but the steps I take ALL day long.

Baked the third batch of chocolate chippers for Bible Time which now makes 

a total of 15 dozen and I have one more batch to bake for a total of 20 dozen.

I could have made all 20 dozen at one time I suppose and then it would

be done with but then it would have seemed a chore to do.  

This way I enjoyed the baking.

I've learned that it is best to bake cookies right after I've eaten

breakfast and I'm not hungry. That way I'm less tempted to eat them. 

I've been home all day and it's mostly sunny, a few clouds too and one
quick little shower.

I was outside for some more weeding (filled up a wheelbarrow)
and filled all the bird feeders.
Sat on the porch for a while reading.

Pizza dough is now in the bread machine and it has about a half hour
to go before we can make our pizza.  Haven't had homemade pizza
for quite a while and I'm sure looking forward to it.

A happy day to you.
