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

Afternoon BBQ

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ     ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ     ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
A cloudy morning after a night of rain.
When I left on my walk it was 59 degrees and calm.
Walked to town and around both of the cemeteries.
No one around and only a few cars.
Guess people are sleeping in because of the holiday.

Walked down by the Drane house to see the bulls.
There seems to be only these two guys left.
Looking pretty lush and a bit over grown around the pond.
Saw a few bunnies, a chipmunk, ground hog,
and a bunch of different birds.
Robins
Red-Windged Black birds
A Bluebird
Goldfinches
Gray Cat Bird
Downy Woodpecker

First thing after breakfast I got busy making a dessert
to bring to the BBQ we went to this afternoon.
It is quick and easy and no baking.
Everyone liked it and there were no leftovers to bring home.

Had a good time at the BBQ.
There was lots of good food, games to play, 
and much laughter.
There is a walking path that runs past the back yard
where we were and 6 of us decided to take a little walk.
There come Tricia, Becky, and Courtney
up the path.
I was with Betty and Linda and we waited for them to catch up.
 The loop was a mile long
and we passed by a couple of ponds along the way.
Two geese families were enjoying nice weather too.
A nice sunny day in the 70's.
Perfect for being outside.

Think I'll forgo a snack tonight,
ate quite enough this afternoon.

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

It looks like a perfect day for a BBQ with friends. The Chocolate Eclair cake looks tasty.
It wasn't a holiday here but we did have one last weekend.
