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

Escapee

I walked among the clouds this morning.
40 degrees, no wind, and fog and sun.

Starting out at the end of my driveway you can see the fog down the hill.


I'm now walking through that fog.


Walking towards town the sun trying to come out.


The sun was shining in town.


Walked through town and to the Dollar General
where I turned around in the parking lot.
Thought maybe I'd find a coin there and I did.
A penny.

Then headed back home.
I came from the left in the picture and now on the way back
taking the fork to the right.


Rebecca was out walking this morning and I saw her at the
other end of town.

I'm back at my road now and where the fog is still around.
I live at the end of the road.


Deer and rabbits around as well as lots of birds.
Saw robins, red winged black birds, bluejays, and a cardinal.

Walked 6 miles

 Finally nice enough weather to hang my laundry out to dry!!
Sunny with a slight breeze and they dried quickly.

We went out this morning to take the trash to the refuse center
and then took a little ride before coming back home.
Passed by the tractor dealer and saw that it was opened so
Ken stopped in to see if they could work on the tractor.
Needs a new stitch of some kind.
They said to bring it in.

As we got back home we noticed one of the calves from across
the street escaped and was walking up our driveway.
We herded him back down


and home.


After lunch Ken hooked up the trailer with the tractor on it and
we dropped it off at the tractor dealer to get fixed.
They will call when it's done.

By late afternoon we were home and Ken was back to destroying ships. 🙂

And I played Mahjong before supper.

Will be making some yellow weave-it squares this evening
for my bedspread
and probably read some too.

That's it for today.
May your day be a healthy and happy one.
Thanks for stopping by.

Rose - Hadn't heard of Mahjong Dimensions till you mentioned it.  Looked it up and played a game.  Nice but I like the regular kind better.

You escaped! And it's beautiful out there.

I hope the young escapee was soon reunited with his mother.

...I always enjoy a nice foggy picture and these are great. Someone need to mend some fences! Take care and be well.

The fog creates these eerily beautiful scenes.

Glad you could herd that escapee back home! I like the moody fog shots. Enjoy your evening!

That would be amusing to find a calf in your yard. You're a good neighbor to escort the calf home. Last night I dreamed that I was walking in fog, but it was just my humidifier going slightly nuts.

Now that's an interesting surprise to find in your driveway.
Glad to know he is back home now.
Interesting walk you had through the fog.

Nice walk for you today in the Fog. We had a Fog several weeks ago- it is pretty rare here- Fog. Havea great day.

Looks like a peaceful walk. I got 10 miles in yesterday and found a penny.

Hi Karen. I really enjoyed seeing these pictures of your walking route and your town. Gave me some perspective of where you walk. I have played games likes solitaire or Mahjong, but Charly enjoys them. Maybe i will have to give them a try. Hope you have a nice Sunday.

I love walking in fog. Something so serene about it!

The calf was out for a little stroll and wanted to visit. :)
