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

Fingerprints

 Six deer were along the road when I drove to town
and 2 more on my way back home.

It was 64 degrees, cloudy, and very still when I started walking.

Walked around the cemeteries, the ball park, and all over the place.


Have you ever noticed that cows like to be up on hills.
This lone bull is king of the hill today.
The long barn is behind me.


Carmen was out walking again and saw John and Prim up at the cemetery.

Waking around the ball park I saw Anna and her dad Mark and
we stopped to talk.
I bet it has been a year or so since I've seen them.
They live behind the ball park on the other side of the stream.
Mark told me they see me often walking around the park in my
bright green sweatshirt.

Paul, the town worker before Bill and after Joe was driving through
town and stopped to say hi.

Ken had to stop in at the doctor in town to get blood work done.
He went while I was walking.
I took this picture when I saw him arrive when I was on the
other side of the pond by the day care.
You can see his RED truck in the parking lot at the doctors
and my RED Jeep in the parking lot on the left.


Ken was in and out in 4 minutes!!!
Thursdays, that is all they do from 7 - 11 is take blood that's why
it does't take long.

I was headed over to say hi to Ken but when I got here I saw him leaving.
He never saw me.

Fingerprints work day at church so we spent the day there.
A pretty small turn out today, but we got a pretty good amount done,
and as always it is nice to be with the others.
Mandy made us supper and we ate there before coming home.
We had spaghetti, garlic bread, and a salad.
We got home a little after 6:00.

Nice to be home now!!

Happy Thursday
Thanks for stopping by

I like seeing both of your vehicles out there. Too funny that Ken never saw you coming.
The lone bull photo is great!

Linda said...

I'm still impressed that you manage to get different pics every time you go walking. I really like the one with the pond and fountain on the right side of the image.

Sounds like a lovely day! Cows on the hill...maybe to watch for predators?

Dianna said...

Sounds like a good day today! And how wonderful that you didn't have to come home from working all day with the Fingerprints ministry and cook! What a blessing Mandy was!

I know you often see deer as you drive back and forth and I'm sure you are careful. My nephew hit and killed a deer yesterday, totalling his vehicle. He was upset about it but he didn't see it because there are trees along that stretch of road.

Rose said...

I would come and help for the spaghetti and garlic bread! That sounds delicious...and working with friends makes it not even seem like work.

Hi Karen! Wow - that's great that Ken's blood work draw only took 4 minutes! Spaghetti sounds delicious! I should make that for dinner soon! Glad you had another good day working on the Fingerprint books. See you again tomorrow.

It seems you had a relaxing and sociable day and great that you didn't have to go home an prep an evening meal :) So funny, you and Ken missing each other like that.

Another great day! I love the photo of the cow up on the hill.
Take care, have a great day!

Ann said...

That was a long day. Impressive that Ken was in and out in 4 minutes for blood work. Aside from only doing blood work on that day, they must have a very efficient system.

Debbie said...

I just love your little town! And I've never known a family to have all red cars! Down here, white seems to be the going color. How boring! Sounds like a fun walk with lots of visiting :)

Bill said...

Every so often I see cows standing on a hill, they must like the view. :)

There's nothing more welcome than a red jeep at the trailhead or parking lot! It will be awhile before we see the 60s again! Sounds wonderful!
