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

Counter Top

Walked through town and down the road a ways,
back to town, around both cemeteries, the ball park loop and home.
It was 60 degrees with both sun and clouds.
An older man who I see once in a while was walking around the
ball park loop and Gail was out walking too.
She used to walk last year for a while and now she's back walking again.

Not that there is ever a lot of traffic around here but now with
 school out for the summer there is even less.

Walked 6 miles
🌤     🌤     🌤
I was home in the morning long enough to eat breakfast,
hang a load of wash outside, and do a quick straightening up.
Then I went with Ken and spent the whole day up at the new house.

Helped Ken a bit with making the little waterfall in the front yard
and getting more done on the driveway.  This time up at the top
of the driveway in front of the garages.
 Will wait to post a picture of the waterfall when it is finished.

Ronnie and Walter continue to work on the outside of the house
doing more trim, soffits, and the peeks.
Hoping they start the siding in the next day or so.
Meanwhile inside the house the men came to install the 
kitchen counter tops.
Oh, the counter top turned out wonderful and I love it.
From the picture it looks solid black but it isn't.
This picture of the cook top shows the color better but it still looks more gray.
It does have a tint of blue which shows up next to the blue.
The cook top is below the microwave and hard to see in the above picture. 
Won't be long before I'll be cooking supper and baking cookies in
my new kitchen.

We met David at Brenda's again for our Monday night pizza.  
It's still great pizza even though it isn't have price again till the fall.

Beautiful weather today.
Sunny, a slight breeze and a high of 70.

A happy day to you.
Life is Good

Counter top caught my attention; my new quartz countertop was installed a few days ago so I had to check yours out. Our counters have a similar feel although I chose tan. You are making a lot of progress on your new home.

Thank you. The counter top is quartz. We was going to go with corian because we've had that in the last three houses and loved it. But since we had a cooktop in the counter and corian is a plastic it was recommended not to use it. Granite was thought of too but the installer said granite can crack and he thought quartz was better so we went with that.
Lots of good products out there and it can be overwhelming deciding on what to use. Good luck with your kitchen redo. Let me know what you decide to use. : )
