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

Wednesday

 50 degrees this morning when I walked in town.
Lots of sunshine.
One of those clear crisp mornings just perfect for walking.


First walked up and down the main road in town.
Then around the lower cemetery.
Trusses were getting delivered to the pole barn site.


Next walked to the ball park and around there a couple of times.
Continued back to the other cemetery and around there too.

I could barely tell where they dug up the coffin yesterday!
I remember reading the grave stone that was there.
It was a little girls grave.
One day some years ago I was walking around the cemetery 
and there was a man putting flowers on her grave and then took a picture.
He started talking to me and said that he knew the couple whose
little girl had died.
They moved away and he would put flowers on the grave for them, take
a picture and send it to them. 
Wonder why they wanted to move her after so many years.

Walked up and down the main road again as well as some
side streets and then back to the Jeep.

Saw Ruth out walking her two dogs.
Sheila was running.  
She suggested we meet for lunch one of these days.

Walking past the head start building and seeing
all these little trikes made me smile.
I could picture all the little ones riding around on them.

Got some more laundry washed and hung out on the line
and did some of my weekly house cleaning.

Afternoon time for fun.
Reading and working on the cross stitch.

Happy Wednesday and thanks for visiting.

What a sad and interesting mystery about the little girl.

The sunrise picture is gorgeous.

Thank you for sharing about the grave of the little girl. It does make one wonder why they would want it moved after all this time. I'm sure it was rather costly.

Have a great rest of your week.

The trikes make me think of Lorelei when she was little. It would be so sad to lose a child, and when visiting an old cemetery, one sees so many children's graves.
