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

At the house and a new calf

A warm temperature of 54 degrees this morning and no wind.
Didn't look like it was raining so just wore my regular walking
clothes but when I got outside realized that it was misting.
Back inside to change into rain clothes and by the time I was outside again
the mist had stopped.  
So I had a nice walk with no rain.

My first 3 miles I walked around the industrial park and then 
walked back through town.
Went around the ball park loop and one of the cemeteries a couple 
of time, through town and back home to complete my 6 miles.

No people about but did see lots of birds, a couple of
rabbits and the geese.
🌷     🌷
We came home last night from church with 3 more boxes of tracts 
and got then all counted out and ready to go.

Went over to the new house again to look around.
Dave is just about done with the stone for the gas fire. 
The stones are wet so they will be a little lighter when they dry.
I can just picture the gas stove sitting in there.
Here in the bathroom sit the his and her vanities.
A calf was born the other day to one of our neighbor cows.
Such a cute little thing.
For a while I watched him running and jumping around having a fun time.
Did some reading this afternoon when I should have been doing
some cleaning, but I'll do that tomorrow.
Life is Good
Count your blessings

Peace is not the absence of affliction,
but the presence of God.

You are kind to yourself, not holding yourself to unrealistic expectations such as giving up a golden opportunity to read. Housework can wait. ☺️

I love the stone fireplace!! We've had a lot of those days lately where one minute it's raining and the next minute it's not. It was raining here again this morning.
