Now that the sun is rising earlier I no longer start walking in the dark.
Sunrise this morning was 6:28.
A mix of sun and clouds,
and the temperature a nice 48 degrees.
Walked 6 miles
Started my walk around the lower cemetery.
Here's what's left of the tree that blew down.
Continued walking straight through town and down the main road
to the curve in the road where I turned around and walked back.
Next walked around the industrial park
and then back through town again.
One of the businesses in town has started putting an addition on the side.
The Firefly moved the store down the road across from the gas station
and has kept the cheese making and the offices at this location.
Kermit was out in front of his house putting a sign on a snow plow
is he trying to sell.
We got to talking and he said the latest he has seen it snow here
is June 3!!! Glad that doesn't happen very often.
Saw a few deer and a couple of rabbits.
No other people out walking.
School bus number 46 now has a new driver and he has started waving to me.
Guess the last driver retired.
I've been waving to him since we moved here and miss seeing him.
It's was a good morning for walking.

Pancake breakfast morning today.
Hadn't done much housework this past week so got that
done this morning.
Nice sunny day but not quite warm enough to sit on the front porch.
It was warmer out back on the deck in the sun out of the breeze
so we sat out there for a while this afternoon and read.

Last week when I stopped in at the library they were handing out
little goodie bags to celebrate Garrett County's 150th birthday.
I colored some pages in the coloring book.
Tried to make a collage out of them but couldn't fit the picture and
the writing in the picture.
Some other facts about Garrett County
The Wild Columbine is the official flower.
Oakland's B&O Railroad Station was built in 1884.
It is a Queen Anne style building designed by E Francis Baldwin
and built with the help of John Work Garrett,
President of the B&O Railroad, for whom the county was named.
There are 2 state forests, 8 state parks, and more than 120 miles of trails.
Deep Creek Lake is Maryland's largest freshwater lake.
It is 13 miles long, covers 3,900 acres,
and has 65 miles of shoreline.
Hope you enjoyed learning a bit more about the county I live in.
Have a Wonderful Day and be Thankful for it.

Hi Karen, Happy Birthday to Garrett County! What a nice place to live. I love that your colored the pictures in the coloring book. I also like to color - it relieves stress and anxiety. I posted about it my most recent post. I am so glad you are back to posting about your day and your walks. See you again soon!
That railway station has been preserved so well for being so old. They just don't make them like they used to.
I haven't colored in a coloring book in a few years. You did a nice job. Thanks for sharing interesting facts about your county.
Those were interesting facts...I did enjoy reading them. Deep Creek Lake sounds interesting.
...150 years is a ripe old age and it's great to see new investment in the community.
A very interesting post ...
All the best Jan
Loved the account of your walk and your history gifts from the library.
I think the wild Columbines are so lovely. You are a good colorer, better than me. I am glad to see that they finally get that tree out of the road!
Your grass is so green and lush. Have a wonderful weekend.
Haven't seen you in ages! My fault, of course. I did enjoy the facts about your county. What a neat little package of goodies. I love coloring books. Need to buy myself one.
How nice to walk in the light. 150 years old. I wonder how old our county is. I'll check that out. Happy weekend!
Happy Birthday to Garrett County! Sounds like a great place to be.
I liked reading the historical trivia today...and enjoyed the coloring book!!!
Happy Birthday to Garrett County! It is nice of the library to give out the gifts. I love the wild Columbine! I am hoping the weather warms up and stays warm. We go back and forth to the cold windy weather. Have a great weekend!
What a nice thing for the library to do. Have you discovered any of those walking trails?
Happy 150th Birthday to Garrett County. It's nice that the library put a package together for the folks of the commmunity. Enjoy your day!
I love that your town has that small town feel - and that feeling seems to extend into the county. A wonderful place to settle.
Interesting facts about your state. Snow as late as June 3 ??? Hopefully that is a very rare occurrence. Have a lovely Sunday.
That is a nice goody bag your library was giving out! Happy 150th birthday to your county!
