Another picture from yesterday.
My walk this morning started off rainy and 59 degrees
and a bit windy too.
Didn't wear my rain slicker because I would have been too warm
so just took my umbrella.
Rained steady the first mile and a half, then just a drizzle,
and finally on the way home it was just cloudy.
Walked to and through town and around the ball park loop.
A stop at the old house, back through town and home.
A quiet walk but a good one!
Coming up around the last curve before getting home I used to be
able to have a good view of our house.
Now with the leaves filled in I can barely see it.
House chores done this morning and then we went out and
got a few errands done.
After lunch I helped Ken with his stone bridge.
He first made the arch out wood.
Then put the stones on edge over the wood.
Today we took the wood out from under the arch.
We were a bit apprehensive that the bridge would collapse
when the wood was removed but all the stones stayed
put and we now have a stone arched bridge.
We walked over it many times amazed that we could!
Tomorrow we will try driving the ATV over it and then the tractor.
Still have some work to do and will take a picture when
the whole thing is completed.
We had a sunny afternoon but it was very windy.
Strong thunder storms were predicted but so far nothing.
After supper we sat out on the front porch.
It's been a good day and for that I am
truly thankful. 🙂
Hope your day has been a good and happy one.

Those are quite watchful parents!
...the first image is wonderful. The second one with the white flowers is Chionanthus virginicus, commonly known as fringetree. It's one of my favorite.
I can't wait to see the bridge...amazing that it supports the weight of the ATV.
Do you like your house being hidden from view? I would love it...love the solitude.
Well done on the stone arched bridge. Looks like you had a good walk despite the rain. The top photo is very nice and I can see that all the rain has caused a lot of green growth.
Wonderful photos once again, Happyone. Thanx.
God bless.
Cant wait to see the pictures. Stone walls and stone bridges are so pretty!

Hello,
Wonderful photos, I like teh geese family. Is the second photo, white flowers?
I am sure it feels good to finish the bridge, another project done. The storms missed us last night, so thankful. Have a happy day!
Ah...beautiful.
That sounds amazing! Who was the first one to walk over the bridge? ☺️
LOVE that photo of the geese family! Everything is so pretty and green and looking forward to the "unveiling" of that bridge!
Another wonderful day created by you. You truly are an inspiration.
Beautiful flower photos. You make me glad. So nice. The geese family is "schattig"
