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

Memorial Day

 57 degrees under sunny skies this morning when I walked.
Walked around both cemeteries and the ball park.
Saw Rebecca and John walking their dogs but both
were far away from me.


Every year Flags are put out at the gravesites of all the Veterans
on Memorial Day.
All the Fireman from town get red flags too.
A very special Thank You to all Veterans




Lots of wild daisies are now blooming along the roadside.


Pretty quiet on this early morning Memorial Day around town.

Just walked 4.5 miles

☀️    πŸ₯Ύ    🌸

Another quiet day around the house for us.
Got a bit of work done.
So nice and sunny so I spent a good part of the day
sitting out on the porch and deck.

This year Memorial Day falls on the REAL Memorial Day
which is also my Birthday. (71)
Ken usually bakes me a chocolate layer cake with whipped cream icing
but that is being put on hold for a little while and 
will be something to look forward to
when we are feeling back to normal.

Thanks for stopping by.
Enjoy your day. πŸ€—

I bet it looks really nice with all the flags - and those daisies blooming off the side of the road are also beautiful. The mornings are so unique, aren't they? Quiet and just the promise of a new day -

Happy you're feeling better.

Happy Belated Birthday! Chocolate cake with whipped cream frosting is my son's favorite cake. I make it for him every time he comes into town!

Happy Belated Birthday!! You are a few months younger than me. I know you'll enjoy birthday cake when you are both feeling tip top! Blessings.

It is important to me that all veterans are honored with flags on their graves. It gives me pause when I look over the cemetery and see all those who served their country.

Yay for cake to look forward to. Praying that you and Ken feel much better with each passing day.

Happy belated birthday πŸŽ‚!

Our graves tend to have remembrance crosses with poppies in the 11-11. Happy Birthday enjoy the cake when you get it.
