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

Productive Day

 This morning when I walked it was 71 degrees with a breeze.
Started out with lots of clouds and as I walked it turned sunny.
Sunrise 6:13

As I left my driveway the doe and fawn were going down the driveway too.
Mama had just got the baby from out back and were headed
out for their morning excursion around the neighborhood.

Started my walk going around both of the cemeteries.


Then all around town, around the ball park, around town again
and back to the Jeep.

The two geese families haven't been around for quite a while now.
They've all flown off to places unknown.

Noticed the ears of corn have started growing.


This is another cemetery in town.
It is small and just along the street which I pass walking from the
other cemeteries to the ball park.


There were three people running laps around the ball park.
I think it was a mother, father, and a daughter.
Haven't seen them before and they were all running at their own pace.

I saw Sheila running too and we said good morning as we passed
by each other and then she said she was out early because it was
going be 100 today.
I don't know what weather report she heard!!?
but we had a high of 84 degrees.

One of the houses along the main road in town is getting a new porch.
The old decking was just painted plywood and is now being replaced.
Don't know with what yet because now 
just the joists are exposed.

🌀    🌸    ❤️

Started laundry as soon as I got home from walking.
We had breakfast and
while I hung the clothes on the line
Ken put all our trash in the truck, then we went to the dump.

Did some house cleaning when I got back home
and then it was lunch time.

A bit more cleaning and then finished reading a Nancy Drew mystery
on the porch, The Mystery at the Moss-Covered Mansion.
Also had time for some knitting.

I feel like I go a lot done today.
Beautiful weather too.
Sunny with a nice breeze and a high of 84 degrees.

Thanks for stopping by.
Hope your day was a good one.

Hi Karen! I'm glad you had such a lovely day! It's super hot here today and I don't like being outside when it is a scorcher! I bet you are enjoying your summer walks very much.

You did have a productive day today. Your pictures are so beautiful, Karen...especially the first one of the sky and clouds.

Hi Karen. It's always nice to feel like you have accomplished something! I am wondering what your favorite Nancy Drew Mystery is. I am collecting Nancy Drew books now and read several many years ago, but I want to start reading more now. Have a good Tuesday. See you then!

I find Mondays are very productive for me too.
I'm glad you didn't have 100 degree temperature. Too hot!

Sounds like a productive and peaceful morning! There’s something so satisfying about simple routines—fresh laundry on the line, a tidy home, and a well-earned lunch afterward. The little things make the day feel full. ☀️πŸ§ΊπŸš›

I tried to crochet at the hospital yesterday but just could not do it. It has been in the 90's here lately again. Janice

That was a nice start to the day. Glad it didn't get up to 100. It was pretty hot here yesterday. I think it did hit 90.
I always loved Nancy Drew Mysteries.
