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

Home all day

 I stopped on the way home from church last night 
to take this picture of the sunset.
If you look closely you can see cows up on the top of the hill.


Got to town and started my walk at 8:30.
Sunrise was a little later at 6:44.

It was 54 degrees with sun and clouds.

It felt like a fall morning, when it is crisp and clear and taking a deep breath makes you smile and glad to be outside.

Morning Walk Steps 13,306.


Walked around both cemeteries to start off.  
Then down the road back toward home with a little detour up Sale Barn Road.
Back to town, up and down the side roads and lastly around the ball park before getting back to the Jeep.

Rebecca was out walking today.
Didn't see anyone else out walking but it seemed everyone that gives me a toot as they pass me in their vehicles must have been all out at the same time because I did an awful lot of waving. 👋

Greg was painting some of the curbs red in town which means no parking.

The second new house in town has the slab poured and now they can start on the house.

Finished up the last of the housework for the week.

Watched a couple of deer walk around out back this afternoon.


Took this picture to show how dark one of the deer is.  
It was more gray than brown.


All day was sunny and cool and beautiful.
Walked around outside a bit and ended up sitting on the porch knitting.
Nice to enjoy these afternoons on the porch before it gets too cold.

We didn't have much luck with the two tomato plants we had growing in the pots.
Just four tomatoes. 
Three red and one still green.
For supper we had BLT's with one of them.
Didn't get many tomatoes but the one we had tonight sure was good!!

Happy Thursday and thanks for popping in for a visit.

That sunset photo is gorgeous!
Fun to see the deer. That one is much darker than usual.
We had one tomato plant in our raised bed. Bob doesn't like them so it was only for me. It has had so many tomatoes! This week we took a whole bag to church to put on our produce sharing table. It's incredible that it was from one plant. You just never know.

We have a lot of deer here, but I have never seen one this dark grey color. Your sky shot is gorgeous, and I do see the cows up on the horizon! The button looks a bit like Mother-Of-Pearl.

I love your first shot. Interesting to see the dark coloring on the deer.

I have a few tomatoes that are still green, but then I got my tomato plants in late in the summer. I love that first picture of the sunrise. It is really beautiful. Sounds like there is a lot of new building going on around your town. So glad you had another good day. See you again soon!

A BLT with homegrown tomatoes is the best! Yum. Sounds like a nice day at home. I like that iridescent button is pretty!

How fun it would be to watch wildlife in your back yard. My brother used to get deer and turkeys where he lived.
BLT was the plan for tonights dinner.
