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

A warm morning

A warm 72 degrees this morning which is pretty rare to have it 
so warm first thing in the morning here.
It was cloudy and there was a breeze which kept it nice.
Looked like rain any moment but it never did.
Walked through town and down toward Happy Trails which is where the new house is.
The turn off is just down the road from here about a quarter of mile.
 Counted 11 little ones down there.

Back to town and walked the cemeteries and the ball park loop
and through town once again.
Saw Lisa out running and we stopped to say hi and saw two young women 
out running that I've never seen before.

Walked 6 miles
 🏡     🏡     🏡
Ken has been up at the new house working on the driveway with the tractor
trying to get it just right.  
It is pretty steep with a curve and he's trying to lower it a couple of feet.

I was home baking cookies.  Bible time is coming up next month at church and
I'm baking 20 dozen cookies.  
Have some already made in the freezer.  
Today made chocolate chippers but will also bake snickerdoodles.
I've baked 8 dozen so far.

Took a walk down the street to the dentist.
We have cleaning appointments next week but can't make it then
and had to change our appointments.
But when I got there the office was closed today.
Well it was a nice little walk anyway.
Did some more reading this afternoon.

We've had a few thunderstorms throughout the day
and some sunshine too.

Hope you found the good in your day and you smiled often.
Life is Good

"How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear;
It soothes his sorrows heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear."

I love that final quote.The sweet name of Jesus really does bring healing and soothes the soul.At a funeral today,I witnessed what grief without the comfort of Jesus can look like. It was tiring just to watch.

Such pretty scenery. You are a dear to make so many cookies for Bible study. I'm afraid I can't ever see myself baking that many especially at this time of year when it is way too hot.
