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

More cows and out and about

 This mornings sunrise

Great weather for walking this morning.
51 degrees and sunny with just a slight breeze.
By the time I got back to the Jeep it was already 61 degrees.

Another walk around town, the ball park, and cemeteries.


When walking around the ball park I stopped for a chat with a man who
works for the town. (forgot his name - but he took over from Joe)
He was emptying the trash cans.
Anyway he told me about the score board.
The high school is getting a new one and giving the ball park their old one.

Took some more pictures of the cows up behind the cemetery.



Got a kick out of the only white cow peeking around the others.


The white cow - though a dirty one - on her own 


Watched a couple calves chase some geese out of the pasture.
Fun to watch the little ones.
Don't use the word frolic very often but that is the perfect word 
for what those calves do.

Walked 6 miles

☀️    🚢‍♀️    πŸ™‚

It stayed sunny all day but the wind picked up and boy did
the clothes hanging out on the line get twisted up over the line!!

We went to the Shop and Save in the morning for grocery shopping.
Stopped in at the library and Ken picked up a book and 
another DVD (last season of Cheers).

After lunch we went out again.
This time to Lowe's and G & W (lumber yard in town).
Also went for a ride around part of Deep Creek Lake.

Don't remember the last time we spent so much time away
from home!

It was still so nice outside after supper.
Sunny and no wind and it must have been 70 degrees.
So we got our walking sticks and went walking around Happy Trails
for a while enjoying the beautiful evening.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
A happy day to you.

Aritha - No, have never done a puzzle outside.  No where to do it and we usually do 1000 piece ones and no way would the weather stay good enough to complete a puzzle!!!

GrannyM and Bill - About the mosaic on yesterdays post.  I have a Samsung phone and the camera makes the mosaics.  There is no additional APP that you have to use.  I just chose the option that says make a mosaic, then tap the pictures I want and bingo there it is.  I can move the pictures around by just touching them. It also gives you some layout options.  It is super easy to use!!!

A beautiful sunrise. Cows show such a curiosity about the passerby.

At first glance I thought the one calf had a heart on its forehead but when I expanded the view, it isn't.

I cows look like they are expecting something.

I love your pictures of the sunrise of the cows - so interesting. Sounds like you had a good "run-around" sort of day. Have a good evening. See you again tomorrow.

Sounds like ideal weather for a walk. We are supposed to get to the seventies tomorrow! I mowed the lawns for the first time this year. Love that white cow peeking! A walk about the property sounds like a nice evening for you!

That cow up front in the fifth picture is looking at you very suspiciously. He cracked me up.

I like Cheers. Where everybody knows your name.

God bless.

Martha said...

It sure is warming up there and what a beautiful sunrise. I like the dirty white cow. Sure sounds like a busy day!

Hello
Wow, beautiful sunrise photo. I love seeing the cows, I can imagine the little ones frolicking. The white cow is cute! Take care, have a happy day!

The country side is certainly greening up with Spring there. Were still in Autumn (Fall) with the trees yet to loose their leaves. Best Wishes.

Another new Header!!!!

That's nice, about the score board. Something that would happen, in a small place. Looking out for each other.

Oh yes, please do show your kitchen!

Wonder if the white cow, is kind of an oddity, to the dark cows? Hope not.

What a beautiful start to a nice day. Love those cows looking right at you. I remember watching Cheers when it was on tv all those years ago, it was a funny show. Thanks for answering my collage question. Enjoy your day!

OK :)

Love the cows. Here they are outside when it's light. In evening they return back in the stable. In May they are day and night outside.
