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

Barn Collective

Linking up with Tom for the Barn Collective Series.
This barn is right next door to where our new house will be.
Our driveway is on the left from where I'm standing taking the picture.

Kim - My camera is set on automatic with the flash turned off.  Very rarely do I change a thing when taking pictures.

Rose - Yes, I've seen Foyle's War and Ballykissangel and like them both.  Have watched some of Brother Brown but I always fall asleep when watching that!!  Haven't seen Bletchley's Circle but have heard of it.
I've been making weave-it squares most of my life.  My Gramma Green made them on a home made weave-it loom that my grandfather MADE of which I have now.  Though I use a plastic one now that I found in an antique store some years ago.  My Gramma taught all of us grandkids when we were kids and I'm the only one out of 8 that make them.

A beautiful sunny morning and 52 degrees for my walk this morning
around the Farm Loop.
Walking down the main road to the Farm Loop I  saw our friend Billy from church 
drive by on his way to work.  I see him most days and he
and he gives me a toot as he drives by.  Today he stopped to say hi.

Noticed the milkweed has started to bloom. 
Back in town I saw George and he stopped to say hi too and was happy to
report that his daughter is expecting baby number 5.

Walked 6.3 miles
🚶     🚶
Yesterday afternoon we went up to Happy Trails and walked around
where our house will be.
This is the house site.  I'm standing in the garage.
 Ken went off to church this morning to help out at Bible Time
and took along the 20 dozen cookies that I made.

Another Monday and more laundry to do.  Nice that it was such
a nice sunny day to hang out the wash.
In the afternoon we loaded up the ATV on the trailer and took it down
to LaVale and dropped it off to get serviced.
 While we were there we did our food shopping at the Walmart down there.

For supper I made one of my super duper salads.
Can't remember if I told you our new favorite dressing is
 Ken's Steak House Lite Sweet Vidalia Onion.
It is so good.  Anyone else like it?

Now for a nice evening at home.

and of course ice cream.

 A happy day to you.

Love your barn photo...how wonderful that you will be living that close to it! And of course I am all for the chicken photo...got to go back and expand the view. I don't know when I developed the habit of commenting before expanding the view.

I bet you can about do the weave-it's in your sleep!

Rose said...

I love the house spot! Yay! You can be a forest woman now!
You should keep your journals. Someone WILL want to read them and you'll be in heaven so you won't care.

I haven't it tried it, but if I see it, I will. It's fun to try new dressings. Fun to see where your new home will be.

A wonderful environment to live in really, and that barn sure looks like it has lots of secrets and mystery. Warm greetings!

Your pretty homesite looks like a great place to build. Lovely clouds and sky so blue. Couldn't pick a better place to be!

That's a neat barn scene. Your going to have such a pretty area where your new house is going to be. The Milkweed is lovely.

Thanks for answering my question on the camera setting, Karen. I'll have to try that next time the moon is full.
Grandma Green must be smiling down from heaven to see all the happiness you spread with your weave its.
Your new homesite looks pretty.

Linda said...

Nice shots! I notice people are letting milkweed grown more often because it is favored by butterflies.
