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

Monday

 42 degrees this morning when I drove to town for my
walk around town.
First 10 minutes it rained while I walked and then stopped,
so walked back to the Jeep and left my umbrella there.
The rest of the walk was mostly dry and every once in a while
a light misty drizzle came along and by the end of the walk
that had stopped too.

Walked all over town and around all my usual loops.
Didn't see anyone else out walking.
When I passed by the day care center I saw a little girl gazing
out of the window.  She looked like she wanted to be outside.
I waved and she smiled and waved back. ๐Ÿ™‚

Saw a few deer on the drive to town.
Spotted their eyes first glowing in the headlights off to the side
of the road and then they calming crossed over.

Walked 6 miles
Sunrise 7:18     Sunset 6:52

๐ŸŒง    ๐Ÿ™‚    ☁️

Late morning we saw a little sun but it remained mostly 
cloudy the rest of the day.

Besides the usual deer today we had another visitor
when we came home.

I don't decorate for the different seasons or holidays
except for Christmas.
But I did change my hutch around and put out some fall colors.
A few pieces from my Fiestaware collection.


Colored a couple more pictures and read too.

Thanks for stopping by.
A happy day to you.

That one image of the "grouped" red leaves...the one in the lower center is almost like a warm red mitten. Or is it just me?

I like walking in the rain (if it's not a downpour). Pretty images & cute visitor

I bet you made that little girl happy!

I like that you saw the little girl and waved. It made me smile thinking of her waving back. How sweet. Love the pretty dishes. :) Blessings, xoxo, Susie

Can you get cars into those garage doors? It is probably the angle of the photo, but I don't see how. ๐Ÿค”

You can definitely tell that fall has arrived. I love that you waved to the little girl in the window... probably made her day. You Fiesta ware looks very autumnal!

...the local animals sure find your place attractive!

I love that red vine against the tree trunk. I also don't decorate , except for Christmas.

Watch out for the puddles. I stepped on one once; it was a lake pretending to be a puddle.

God bless.

Hello,

I like your cute visitor! The red leaves and the yellow trees around your house are looking beautiful. Your hutch does look colorful.
Take care, enjoy your day!

I love your fall hutch! I would love to come and visit and see your home - the pictures you post always look so homey and comfy. I love the picture of your Monday visitor. I used to decorate more when the kids were home - now not so much. My big decoration now is a campaign sign in my front window. ;-) I will go all out, at least inside, for Christmas. Have a great day and I will see you again soon!

I got a chuckle out of your visitor. He/she looks quite at home.
Love your nod to fall in the hutch.

Your hutch looks amazing all undecorated like that! ๐Ÿ‚

How interesting to see a cow in your yard, it made me laugh. :)
How nice to wave to the little girl in the window, it probably made her day.

Your fall hutch is just right. I use Fiesta ware too, but since I live alone now, I find myself eating off paper plates way too much. But I still use the bowls for a lot of things, soups, cereal, salads. It's cheerful and fun, I think and I really like your display.

I take it the cow was taking a stroll.
