47 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds once
the sun rose at 7:25.
No wind to speak of and I walked 5.6 miles.
First walked over to the Dollar General to see how the parking lot
was coming along. Half of it is paved.
Walked through and around town and then
around both of the cemeteries.
Another reflection in the town pond.
Haven't seen Joy walking in a awhile so it was nice to see
her today and we stopped for a little chat.
She was on holiday down in Florida.
She assured me she never missed a day of walking and one
day walked 8 miles!!!
Didn't see any one else out this morning.
☀️ ☁️ 🥾 🍁
Spotted this plant growing in one of the planters out front
and have no idea what it is.
I sure never planted it but it sure is a pretty little flower.
A nice sunny day again so got some laundry washed and
hung outside to dry.
Changed some things around in the living room and dining room.
Just needed a change.
Sat outside on the front porch and did some reading.
It's been another good day.
Thanks for stopping by.
Happy Wednesday

Jeanette - I find mostly coins and rarely bills. Just put coins in the banks, bills I spend. Have found a few one dollar bills and a twenty once. The big money I found was when I found Carlo's wallet. Check out that post HERE.
John - Yes, I did notice the moon in the picture.
We live in Garrett county which is in the western part of Maryland. Our town is in the north west of the county.
No, not much traffic here because there aren't many people. Only around 29,000 people in the whole county.
No traffic to speak of driving down to LaVale which is in Allegany county. You can take I68 or the back road, Rte 40 which we like to do. We pass through Grantsville and Frostburg.
No crowds here and that is one of the reasons we moved here.
We lived in Howard county down by DC and Baltimore for years and it is crazy with traffic and crowds down that way. That is why we moved to the quiet in western Maryland.
If you like peace and quiet, no crowds, and beautiful countryside western Md is great.
We get a fair amount of snow in the winter but they are used to it here and they do a great job of snow plowing.
It is usually about 10 degrees warmer down in LaVale.
Hope this answers your questions - if you have more just ask.

A lovely morning!
What a nice morning walk! Wish I had to nerve... but I guess I am just lazy
Hi Karen - your home town and county sounds lovely. The greater Salt Lake and Utah county areas are so crowded now. I would like to move somewhere there are few people, but Charly and I also like the amenities of the city, so who knows where we will end up. I am off both tomorrow and Friday and I am looking forward to nice morning walks both days. I hope you have a good one. See you again soon!
Is that an ice plant? Looks like what we had inTucson
...Karen, you sure had some gorgeous colors to enjoy.
It was a lovely day here reaching to 72° for three minutes and a half. I enjoyed it, but I did not walk nearly six miles. Those tree top colors are phenomenal.
This summer walking at the Lake Laura found two wallets. One she saw it fall from his pocket and gave it to him. The other she took to the office. They said he’d already reported losing it.
Oh I think Hootin Anni called it on the mysterious flower.
The sky is beautiful. I like the make things different around the house, too.
Beautiful reflection again. I hope someone will be able to identify that pretty flowering plant.
What a beautiful start to the day! And, to think many people sleep right through all that glorious beauty. I enjoyed reading about your county; glad someone asked.
Whatever that flower is, it sure is pretty.
I used to frequently change things around in my living room and bedrooms. Now I'm just too lazy and things stay where they are.
Hello,
I love the fall colors and trees, the reflection shot is beautiful.
Love the pretty flower! Take care, enjoy your day!
You got some great photos! It would be hard to choose a favorite!
Hi Karen, Thank you so much for answering my question so completely. It sounds like when you were living by DC and Baltimore you were feeling the same way I feel now about Seattle. It's just getting crazy with crowds and traffic. Congratulations on finding western Maryland! Thanks again! John
I have an app on my phone called "picture this" and I just took a picture of your picture of that flower. It's called a Trailing Ice Plant. Thanks for answering my question. What a wonderful thing that you found that money and wallet for Carlos.
How nice to have that pretty flower volunteer in your planter.
The colors in your photos (sky and leaves) continue to be gorgeous.
Sounds lovely where you live.
The $64 Thousand Dollar Question... What are the Politics??????????? >,-))))
We live in a lovely part of the Country, but the Politics are making us hate it. -sigh-
💛 🌟 💛 🌟 💛
Beautiful reflection and foliage.
Such a lovely reflection in the town pond...
All the best Jan
Ice plants grow crazy along the California coast. I'm surprised they would survive in the cold. They're pretty but on the coast the snails and slugs love them.
Great reflection photo and that Ice Plant is pretty. The Dollar General in Chewelah should be opening soon. It will be fun to finally shop in one when we are traveling home from Spokane. It's a bit too far to make a special trip.
I was going to say that the flower is mesembryanthemum but trailing ice plant is a prettier and easier name to remember.
