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

Spider Web

This morning at 6:30 when I left on my walk it was 64 degrees,
sunny and very still which made it pretty warm.  
I would have welcomed one of those rain showers.
Not a lot of color in the sky this morning but still it was beautiful.
Quite a lot of activity around town with people getting ready for
the parade than runs down the middle of town.
It doesn't start till 11:00 but a few people already had chairs
along the road saving their viewing spots.
George was out putting up the parade sign.
A few people who live on the main street with porches
were sitting out having their morning coffee.

People were out running and walking too.
I saw a man running, two men running, a woman walking, and another woman
walking.  Don't usually see so many morning people.

I had my usual 6 mile walk around town.
Found a penny.

The parade in town ends right in front of our house so we
sat on the porch and watched it from there.

After the parade and lunch Ken went up to the new house
but I decided to stay home.
He wasn't up there long however because a thunder storm
came rolling through.

I cut up the fruit and added it to
the sauce I made yesterday to bring to the picnic
at Ronnie and Carols house which we will be going to a bit later.
  They go to our church and have invited everyone
from church to their house for a picnic.
(Yes, it is the same Ronnie who is building our house.)

The recipe for the Fruit Salad is HERE.

I think I'll read until it is time to go.

A happy day to you.

That spider web looks like its beaded with the water droplets. Really cool and perfect shot.
I would love to see a 4th of July parade. We are heading out to a cookout with family. We should be able to see the towns fireworks from there. Happy 4th!

I think Americans who have never lived in other countries take our own for granted. I was stationed in the Phillipines in 1970/1971 and I was never so happy to get back home. Truly, you never know what you have until you lose it.
