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

Walking to town

 52 degrees and sunny this morning when walking.
A little different walk today.
Instead of driving to town 
I walked there.
It is a tad over 2 miles to town.



Had to mail a couple of things so when I got to town
went to the post office.
From there it was to the ball park and walked that loop.
Then up and down the main road and then headed
back home.

The workers are still working on road paving so I picked a
good day not to drive there.

Didn't see anyone else out walking though I wasn't
in town for very long.

Saw a few deer, rabbits and a ground hog on the way home.
Some of you may remember the little pesky dog Kai
who ran out after me when I walked past her house to town.
She was there again today barking her fool head off.

Walking home once I left the main road.


It was nice walking to town for a change but I still would
rather drive to town and walk around there.

Two miles to town,
two miles around town,
and two miles back home again 
for my 6 miles.

☀️    πŸ₯Ύ    😊

Did a few chores around the house this morning.
Afternoon spent walking around outside and 
reading on the porch and then just sitting there
listening to the birds and feeling the breeze.

We've been watching White Cottage Company on YouTube
and I love watching Mary do all her crafts.
She is amazing in all she does.
Watched her make soap a little while ago and was surprised
today when a package arrived in the mail.
Ken bought me some.
I love home made soap!!


Liz and David spotted this sticker and couldn't resist getting it for me.
They stopped by for a few minutes to give it to me.
Perfect isn't it?
Going to put it on my Jeep.


I made Spicy Chicken for supper tonight.
It was delicious with a side of macaroni salad.

That's all for today.
Thanks for stopping by.
A happy day to you. πŸ€—

Vee - I'm sure there are restrictions on the size of the house that can built on the lot.  Was thinking that maybe one of the neighboring properties would buy it.  Will be interesting to see what happens with it.

...corn should be knee high by the 4th of July!

The corn fields remind me of the area where I grew up.

I love the sticker from Liz and David. It is perfect!
We had spicy chicken yesterday, a little different recipe than yours, but close!

Vee said...

Oh I watch Mary, too. It's how I was persuaded to purchase a Sunday plan. I am hoping for good results because my front lawn is a mess.

You have such beautiful places to walk around. I'm going to check out Mary at White Cottage Company... her channel sounds interesting. And it might help get my crafting mojo back!

Your pictures are always so good, Karen. Love the sticker from Dave and Liz. Perfect for you! I watch Mary also. She's a dear. How sweet of Ken to order some of Mary's soap for you.

I like the collage that you made of pics of your driveway and home.
I went to White Cottage Company to check it out and will be going there from time to time I'm sure. Thanks for mentioning it.

The top picture in that collage is such a breathtaking view.
How thoughtful of Ken to buy you the soaps. Those little surprises are always so wonderful.

Hello,
the sticker is perfect for you and your jeep. I would like the homemade soap, Lemongrass is a lovely scent. Nice views of your home and rock garden.
Take care, have a happy day!

That sticker is perfect for you.
I watch Mary too and am so inspired by all that she accomplishes. After watching her clean windows with those Norwex cloths, I ordered some through her rep. What a fun surprise to receive some of her handmade soap.

I did enjoy the photos~! I was wondering which you liked best...walking it all in town or walking there from your house. I can see pluses to both.

There is a channel The Last Lonely House...she does a little bit of everything. Not sure if you would like her, but I sure enjoy seeing what she gets up to. And I am going to go check out White Cottage Company.

Rose said...

I had a feeling i better come back and check my comment...the name of the channel is The Last Homely House...

I like the collage of your walk and the view of your home. I don't know how people put up with yappy dogs.
