Field of corn

Looking at this sky this morning during my walk I thought for sure it would rain,

but it never did.

The corn is big enough now to hear the wind blowing through it

and what a great sound it is.

Rose - I sew the weave-it squares together with a tapestry needle lining the little loops up. I sew them into rows and then the rows get sewn together.  The loose ends get weaved into the square. If you click on the link at the bottom of the posts 'Weave-its' you will see some of the big afghans I've made.  The ones that I've made have my name on them.  There is also a picture of the loom that my grandfather made.

BettyC - Yes, we will be able to see the road from the porch though we will have lots of trees in the front yard too.  We will clear enough out to have some sun at least in the front.  Don't want to have any grass though.

Didn't make a conscious decision to downsize just building a house that fits our needs and a big house is not what we need.  We have always moved a lot and enjoy moving.  I can't even imagine living in the same house for 45 years!!😊

Connie - Not a close neighbor, its about a mile from my house.

66 degrees this morning and cloudy for walking.

Walked behind my house, around the ball park loop, both cemeteries and

down toward Happy Trails.

Down by the Drane house  I snapped this picture of a man

taking pictures of the Drane garden.

I saw a heron fly over head and land on the tippy top of a tree over by the

town pond.  I bet it has been a year since I last saw one here.

Not a great picture but was glad I was able zoom in and get this silhouette.

Ruth Anne who works at pubic works in town was driving by the pond as I

was walking past and she stopped to say hi and I learned a few things 

about the pond.  They are NOT dredging it like I thought.

It will no longer be a place to fish - they won't be stocking it any more.

A pump is to be installed to keep the algae out.

She said the state fees to have a fishing pond have gotten too costly.

(I didn't even know you had to pay a fee)

They got rid of the cattails because no one liked them there.

I told her that I always liked them and have taken many pictures of the cattails

 and of the red winged black birds perched on them.

She told me that I was the only one she ever heard say that!!!

They have been trying to get rid of them for the last 3 years.

I'm hoping they grow back. 😊

Kathy was in town walking again but didn't pass by her.

Walked 6.4 miles

The ATV was ready for pick up after being serviced so we went down

to LaVale again to pick it up.
 

 Dropped the ATV off at Happy Trails and then we drove it down to thefuture building site and walked around there a while.

Before coming home we went to Katie's for ice cream cones.
We have driven past that place for the past 3 years and never once
went there.  This year we've been there quite a few times already.
By the way it is 4 years ago today that we moved into our house here in town.
That sure went fast!!

No time for supper so that ice cream will have to be my supper.
Soon I'll head out the door to walk to the library for my book club
and then on to church.

Life is Good

A happy day to you.

Enter not into the path of the wicked and go not in the way of evil men.

Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
