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

A walk in the sun

59 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds greeted me  
this morning as I headed out.


A very quiet Saturday as I walked through town to the DG Market,
turned around and back through town.
Up and down some side streets.
Around the ball park a couple of times.

The chickens were all running around the yard by the ball park
and I counted 6 baby chicks.
Took a picture but they were too far away and it didn't come out.

From there I headed to the cemetery on the hill and then
back to the Jeep.
Had all my steps in so didn't make it around the other cemetery.



No one else out and about.
What a beautiful morning for walking.

Saturday morning was spent at the library with the
Needlework ladies. 🧢
8 of us there today.
We have two teenagers who meet with us.
One entered a few items at the County Fair last week.
 She won a blue (first place) ribbon for a blanket she crocheted.
Also 2 red ribbons (2nd place) for a hat and purse she crocheted without a pattern.

A small closet that holds my yarn, patterns and other needle crafts 
is once again a mess.
So I started organizing it again.

As always I read some this afternoon and even though I knitted this
morning did more knitting too.

That's all I have for today.
Hope your Saturday was a good one.
Thanks for stopping by.

The sky is so gorgeous in the second photo. And the one after it with the church and fountain is just perfect. Peaceful beauty.

Thankful for another beautiful day today! Definitely great walking weather.

That's so neat that the one teen girl entered her projects in the fair and won ribbons for them.

The photo of the corn and blue sky is beautiful and is the picture of summer.
I think it's great you have teenagers meeting with you - and so nice that one got blue ribbons!

Hi Karen. It's so great that you have some teenagers in your knitting group. Good for you for keeping your yard closet tidy and organized. It's an ongoing job. I hope you have a good Sunday. I hope I can listen to your Sunday evening service!

I like all your photos. Such a peaceful little town.

Is that one photo Queen Anne's lace. I have been trying to find seed for that and to get it to grow out around my back lot I think it's so pretty. And it's such a nice filler for bouquets. We don't have wildflowers here like you have back in the East and I really miss it.

Today's cloud pictures are the best yet!!
You saw some chicks and we spotted some ducklings. πŸ’—

That first picture with the clouds is awesome. Congrats to the girl who won on her fair entries. She must be very good to crochet something without using a pattern. I have a hard enough time with a pattern

Love your photos and the pretty sky.
Congrats to the teenagers winning those ribbons.
Take care, have a wonderful week!

It always does my heart good to hear of teenagers doing crafts, such as needlework with your group. It means they're placing priority with other things rather than their *bleep-bleep-bleep* cell phone or computer!! Love, Andrea xoxo

What a peaceful Saturday you had — I could almost feel the quiet streets.
I love that you still counted your steps even when the route changed — sounds like a satisfying kind of walk.

So sweet that the teens join your crafting group! And wow, that crocheted blanket must’ve been beautiful — a blue ribbon is no small thing! πŸ§ΆπŸ’™
Ooooh and I hope reorganizing your craft cupboard brought back a few “forgotten treasures” — that always happens to me!

Do you usually knit in the morning, or was that just how the day unfolded?

Wishing you a restful Sunday
