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

Last of the hearts


📷          📷          📷

Each day the sunrise gets later by the minute, today it was at 6:24.
Got to town and started walking at 6:25 this morning.
The temperature was 60 degrees and it was a rainy walk today.


No wind and the rain was a nice steady good soaking rain, the farmers loved it I'm sure.
I had my umbrella and I like hearing the rain on it.
Love the sound the rain makes falling on the corn too.

Once again I walked all over town, around both the cemeteries, and the ball park.

Up at the cemetery I spotted this deer having some corn for breakfast. 
 


Progress on the house being built. (Front and back)
They were busy yesterday, no work today probably because of the rain.


Rebecca was out in the rain running today.
Can't run with an umbrella very easily so she was soaking wet.

Morning walk steps were 12,738

🌧         ðŸ¦Œ         ☔️         ðŸ¥¾

The book club meeting was today and because of the rain we met in the library this month instead of at the park.
There were 7 of us today and everyone one of us enjoyed the book as I expected.
Next months book is There, There by Tommy Orange.

Happy Thursday

Today is the last heart picture.
Tomorrow a new series starts.

The rain is nice and also needed, but hopefully the sun is out again tomorrow.
I like these hearts and have enjoyed all you shared!

I loved the picture in my mind of you taking your walk under the lovely canopy of an umbrella.

Your first photo is gorgeous! Good bye to all the different and pretty hearts.

If I could get myself out to walk at all, that rain would have kept me from going. I admire your dedication.
Those hearts look like they are part of a quilt. Is that yours or one you saw somewhere?
