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 day around home

Didn't take a morning walk but did get out to walk later.
Went up the lane
and walked around Happy Trails.
Saw these tiny yellow daisy like wildflowers along the lane.
Looked them up on line and think they are
Lesser Celandine.
Is that right Tom? 
It was a beautiful sunny day and we spent most of it outside
working in the yard.

Had to go down to the old house to mow the lawn there.
While I mowed Ken dug up some more flowers
and we brought them home and planted them here around the house
in the woods.  
Don't want any formal gardens that will have to be weeded.
Just want it all to look natural.
Late afternoon it clouded up and we had some lightning and thunder
but just a little bit of rain and then it was sunny again.

We enjoyed the day just being around home.
We are so blessed to live here in the woods.

We watched a deer with her fawn in the back yard.
It must have just been born because it was the tiniest little thing.
 What a joy it was to watch them together. 

Well that's about it for today.
Hope you found the joy in your day.

Just a word about the cutter.  It is just not possible to cut a finger cut off using it.  In order for the blade to come down there are two buttons that have to be pushed at the exact same time and they are at a distance apart that you have to use both your hands.
It just won't work if only one is pushed.  So no need to be concerned.

...I don't know Lesser Celandine, but this looks like the pictures that I found online. it is considered an invasive plant in Maryland. The thin leafed green plant in the picture is Horse's Tail and it is an invasive plant which you don't want anywhere near your property.

That is so cool that you were able to watch a deer with her fawn in the back yard. You have a beautiful place to live! I don't know the name of those yellow flowers but they are cute ... neat photo! Thank you for your comment and encouragement on my blog today! Wishing you and Ken a happy weekend and holiday.

Those beautiful paths are so inviting. WOW! To see a newborn fawn right close would be oh so special.

Nice to know there's no way you could injure yourself on that cutter.
Both my DH and also our oldest son are missing half a finger due to woodworking. They are both lefties and are positive that tools are made for right-handed people.

How nice to see nature and the beautiful creatures up close as you so often do. I was chatting with a young man, my physical therapist, and he said that he has no desire to be married to a house and yard. He’s more interested in being busy and playing golf. 😉 Each person finds his or her own joy in this life. You certainly have had formal gardens and know now, at this point in life, that other things are more important to you.

Hello,

Pretty scenes and images from your walk. I love to see the deer with their young. Weeding is not fun and hard work, a natural look is beautiful. Happy Sunday, wishing you a happy and a great new week!

Looks like a wonderful place for a walk.

Happy Trails is as beautiful dressed in summer's green as he/she is in winter's snowy white.

Spring is looking pretty there!

All the best Jan

You'll got spring, we have summer now. The sun hurts.

I think you are so wise to avoid formal gardens that need to be maintained. Nature does a much better job of "decorating" the environment and adding some color of your own to the natural landscapes is perfect!

Nice idea to build and plan a natural landscape instead of needing to mow and weed! Sounds like a good relaxing day!
