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

Ken Drives the ATV over the bridge

A mix of sun and clouds this morning, 65 degrees,
and a bit windy on my walk.
Walked down, the hill, and up another to town.
Went to the post office to drop off some mail,
continued to the ball park and walked around that loop.
Back to the main road in town.
Turned right up ahead,
and walked down the back road.
This is the back of the bakery.  There was a brick building sitting behind it,
but has just been taken down and now there is a parking lot out back.
Continued on down the street to the lower cemetery.
A walk around there and then back home.
This time walking down the hill and then up another.

Today was the day for chipmunks, saw a least 6 all along my walk.

A bit warm out there today and by the time I got home my shirt was
soaked.  Would have welcomed a little rain shower!
Ken was sitting on the porch with his cup of coffee
when I walked up the driveway.
I sat outside with him and before long the breeze cooled me off.

Wasn't going to post a picture of the stone bridge till it was completely
finished but took this one today of Ken driving the ATV over it
for the first time.
He went right over with no problem at all.
The whole area needs some prettying up and that may take a while
and will take a picture then too.
Ken spent some time in the kitchen today.
Will tell you about it tomorrow!

We worked outside, some in the front and some in the back.
Had a sunny but windy day for most of the day but a
thunderstorm came by in the middle of the afternoon.

That's it for another day.
Hope your day was happy one.

Rose - Yes, like the house hidden in the trees.  It is great living in the woods.  

Vee - I was the first to walk across the bridge and then we both walked over together.

Aritha - I think the geese and babies are 'cute' too.

Eileen - Yes, they are white flowers.  Here's a picture of the whole bush/tree.  Tom says it is called Fringe Tree.

At first glance I thought your heading said Ken Drives over the Edge. I'm glad it was the stone bridge not any edge!

That bridge is so awesome! It really looks good. I like seeing the photos of where you walk...looks like a quiet little town. And I love the road you start out on! I figured you loved living in the woods....just so peaceful.

The stone bridge is pretty nifty and great looking. Well done! So you both have had your firsts...you walked across first and Ken drove across first. The bakery looks as if it has a nice set-up. It must be doing well.

What a beautiful stone bridge! And functional too!

Someone showed me a picture of a lowes truck that fell after a tiny wooden residential bridge collapsed.

What a mess to be stuck in.
