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

Nice to be back


 ðŸ“·    📷    📷

Sunrise was at 6:22 
On the drive to town which is 2 miles I saw a few deer and some wild turkeys.
Started my walk around town at 6:25 and it was 64 degrees.

Walked up and down all the streets, the cemeteries and the ball park in no particular order.
I usually have a route in mind but hardly ever stick to it.

The corn has grown quite high and you can no longer see the barn.


Haven't seen Joy walking for a while now but she was out there today.
She has been walking in the afternoons and then was on holiday in Rome where her daughter is living.

Lisa was also out walking.
Her son is on holiday and she is taking care of his dog and was walking the dog this morning.

Last week a part of a tree came down by the Victorian house.
The first day I saw the big branch that had come down.
The next day they took down the rest of the tree.
And the third day not much was left of it.
Thank goodness it missed the house but did take out part of the fence and the square foot garden.


There was a mix of sun and clouds and even had a very light rain shower as I walked.
Morning walk steps were
12,640

🌤    🌧    ☁️

After breakfast we went out to do a couple of errands.

This afternoon we had some heavy thunder storms come through and even a tornado watch.  
It was very very windy but thankfully no tornado.

Nice to get back to blogging. 😀

Happy Monday

That was a huge branch. I'm so glad the house wasn't damaged.

Welcome back. We got quite a wind storm with thunder and lightning yesterday and I was glad no trees came down. Your first photo looks fallish!

Ginny Hartzler said...

Welcome back! I missed your daily walks. We had an actual tornado warning today, and spent quite a bit of time in the basement. Your corn photo is beautiful!

Ann said...

So glad to see you back. Glad that tree missed the house. I keep wondering if the tree in my front yard needs to come down.

I've missed you and I'm glad to catch up. We saw on the weather channel about the storms in your state the last few days. That's a huge limb that came down on this tree! Take care and enjoy your day.

Nice to see you back here. I hope you had a pleasant break.
Good thing that big old tree didn't fall on the house. Fences are easier to fix.

Hi Karen. Glad you are back. I miss your posts when you are gone, but I haven't been in blogland a lot lately either.

Nice to see you back. I hope you had an enjoyable break.
We had that same strong storm system here yesterday too. Our power flickered a few times. Thankful it wasn't worse as it seems there are many people without power from this storm.

Lovely scenes!

Good to see you. I'm several days behind in blog reading and working on catching up.

Very lucky with that tree.
