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

Friday


Left the house at 6:30 this morning
62 degrees and walked through low hanging clouds and sunshine
Sunrise 6:30


Walked to town.
Ken passed by in the truck on his way to meet Edd for breakfast.

Turned in at the lower cemetery and walked around there.
Then up to the other one and walked around there a few times.
Down to the Drane house (first picture)
and then headed back home.

Nice to see the deer and rabbits back this morning.

Lisa was out walking today (she usually runs)
and Tina and her dog Max too.

It was a good morning for walking.
🙂
I ate my breakfast of toasted English muffin slices with
butter and raspberry jam out on the front porch.
 By that time those low hanging clouds were gone
and it was a bright sunny day.

A good day for getting the laundry done and hung out on the line.
Did a bit of house cleaning too.

After lunch I went out back and did some more clearing
of the deadfall and cut down some little saplings
and added them to the natural fence.
Another two days or so and I should be done with the section
I've been working on this summer.

After that work it was time to sit on the porch and read!

Hope your Friday was a happy one
Life is Good
happyone 🥰

Vee - We did not do well at all trying to put baby pictures with the right people.  We each only got one or two right and no, there were no prizes.  Just a lot of laughing.  We all did get one picture right though!!  Courtney, because she was the youngest of us there and her picture was the only one in color!!  

Kim - That was just the sun shining on the tree in yesterday's photo.  Though there are a couple of leaves here and there turning color, no whole trees like that yet.

...the Drane house is a beauty, enjoy your weekend Karen.

LOL at the one pic everyone got right!

I love that first photo, too. As well as the other foggy shots.

Vee said...

Ahhh...laughing was its own reward. I suppose the closer one is in age to the baby picture makes it easier to identify too. Glad that you all had fun.

Sounds as if you had a very productive day. When you mentioned your English muffin breakfast with raspberry jam, I had to pop an English muffin into the toaster myself...alas, no raspberry jam.

That first shot is a beauty. It has been years since I had an English muffin. Might need to now.
