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

Coloring

 A foggy, frosty, and 39 degree morning for walking today.
Parked the Jeep in the pond parking lot again and had a random walk
all over the place in town like yesterday.
Also went and walked around the industrial park.

The morning moon.


 The sun coming up through the fog.

Frosty Golden Rod and my favorite picture today.

Saw a couple of deer running around town and a few rabbits hopping about.

Walking past the bakery the owner was out front putting out the
OPEN sign and there were some awfully good smells coming from inside.

A nice crisp fresh air fall walk - Life is Good. 🍁 🙂

Walked 6 miles

🌤     🙂    ☀️

We made a quick trip to the Dollar General to get a few things
and I spotted coloring books and bought a couple.
Looking through them when I got home I knew I just had
to color this one first.

 

Also finished reading another book, Bedford Square by Anne Perry.
It is book number 19 in the Charlotte and Pitt series.
She is one of my favorite authors and this series are mysteries
set in England in Victorian times.

So you can see I had a relaxing afternoon
🖍 coloring and reading. 📕

Thanks for stopping by.
A happy Saturday to you.

Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world.
Constantly color your picture gray,
and your picture will always be bleak.
Try adding some bright colors to the picture
by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up.

No frost here yet, but I'm taking your post as a cautionary tale. Plants coming in tonight! That frosty goldenrod makes a uniquely lovely picture.

Days like yours sound wonderful and you've certainly earned it. You really did a great job coloring! 🖍

Beautiful photos again!!
I have a couple of colouring books but I have to admit I've hardly coloured in them at all.

The adult coloring books when highly popular a few years ago, I bought. But, haven't colored in them for a long time. The frosty blossom is pretty...but, I like the moon best.

This is a lesson in all the good quality life you can have and all the fun things you can do when you don't have a TV. I didn't have one for years, I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't now. Coloring is so much fun, I will start a new picture today.
