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

More Stone

My walk this morning started out with some patchy fog.
Couldn't decide which picture to post so here are all three of them.


The temperature was 55 degrees.
The fog burned off fairly quickly and then it was full sun for the
rest of the day.

Had my usual walk through town and down the main road.
Back to town and around the cemeteries and the ball park loop.
I saw the man from yesterday again walking around the ball park
and stopped and introduced myself.  His name is Bill.

Walked 6 miles
🌫     ☀️     ⛅️
We had a little job to do at church but didn't have much luck with it.
Forgot a tool that we needed and then broke a drill bit.
Decided we weren't meant to do this today and left it for another day.
 
Stopped and had lunch on the way home.
 
Then we got the dump trailer and went to the quarry and got
two more loads of the big sized gravel stones.
Here we are arriving at the new house with a load.
It was for the upper driveway in front of the garages.
Here you can see how it is all coming together now and getting level. 
Should make driving the cars into the garage easy.
 Stayed at the house till 5:45 and then headed home.
Didn't feel much like cooking so we just had pancakes for supper.
I put chocolate chips in them and we had syrup and a bit of whipped cream
on top.  A nice cold glass of milk hit the spot.

Nice to be home now to have a nice relaxing evening.

Hope your day was a good one and you smiled often.
Life is Good

I hate managing tools, you always don't have what you need and it's a pain

It is especially hard when they can be either in the truck, at the new house, or at the house. : )

Your hard work is paying off. Great leveling of that area in front of the garage doors. You'll appreciate that when you get "weather". Happy weekend to you.

Your photos are excellent Karen! Hard choices. Glad you posted all of them. You missed a calling - professionally you would have been a very successful photographer! Glad you are sharing that talent with us.
