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

Another day another walk


Got to town at 6:20 and started my walk.
Sunrise was 6:37.
The temperature was 55 degrees and sunny when the sun came up.
Morning Walk Steps 13092

Walked all around town up and down all the streets and both of the cemeteries.

The big barn has no cows in it right now and is getting cleaned up for when the cows and calves return for the winter.




Lisa and I passed going in opposite directions in the middle of town.

The one lone fisherman was at the pond again.

Workers were working on the house this morning working on getting the plywood on the roof.
Interior walls not put in yet so can't tell the room sizes or placement. Seems like the rooms are going to be pretty small.

We drove out to Uniontown, PA this morning because Ken had to get some routine blood work done.
His appointment wasn't till 12:00 but we left early and looked around in Michaels and Home Depot before his appointment.
Ken had to fast till them appointment so I did too in sympathy.
So the first thing we did afterward was get something to eat!!

Didn't get anything done this afternoon when we got back home but read and knit.

Happy Wednesday and thanks for stopping by.

A couple of wood barrel buttons today.
I had some of these on a camel hair car coat many years ago.

Aww that was nice of you! Misery loves company! The photos are always so pretty and it helps that you live in a picturesque town.

...I love the view down the lane towards the barn.

The gazebo is so pretty in the morning light.
I had a coat with those buttons some years ago too.

Love seeing clean farms and barns. We have a cow farm around the corner from us that is so filthy. So great that you have a nice town to walk around in. I think I had a coat once with buttons like those! Happy mid week to you!

I remember these buttons. I haven't seen any in years! I did not know their name, so that is good to learn. I love your first two photos, they are so beautiful. Especially the way the sun is on the hill behind the gazebo.

Hi Karen. That was nice of you to fast with Ken. I still have an older coat that has buttons similar to those. I really like the picture of the gazebo by the pond. I hope you have a good Thursday. See you then!

I hate having appointments where you have to fast. I had one once that wasn't scheduled until 2:00 pm. I had to go all day with nothing. Afterwards I stopped at the closest fast food place and inhaled a burger.

Nice photo by the lake.

God bless.

The gazebo is so pretty. I love the weather temps you have. It's so inviting to walk in such cool temps. We are still hot (over 100) and about 100% humidity, so no walking for us.

Idyllic scenes!

That first picture is so pretty! Fasting before a blood draw is the worst! I hate not getting to have my morning coffee. Hope all is well with Ken.

Bill said...

The gazebo looks very nice by the lake.

Well done to you for fasting with Ken, hope his results will be good.

All the best Jan

I just typed my comment then realized I wasn't in the comment box. I wonder where my words went?
I like the picture of the gazebo by the water. We used to have a gazebo in our local park but it was taken down and never replaced. I have no idea why not.

A good gazebo.
