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 sunny morning with a few clouds for walking today.
61 degrees.

Walked around the lower cemetery first and passing by the
pond on the way up the hill to the other cemetery I saw the geese.




Went down by the Drane house to take a picture of the bulls.


Then walked over to them.
This guy looks mean but is quite nice and when I put my hand out
he just sniffs it, like a horse would.


Farmer Marvin was driving down the road that way
and stopped to say hi.
I see him most days and every so often he'll stop.
He told me these 5 bulls are herd bulls and will be going to another
pasture in a week or two with the cows.

From there I walked around town up and down all the streets
and over to the ball park and around there before going back
to the pond.

By the end of my walk it was 68 degrees and I was
getting a bit warm.

No one else out walking on this beautiful morning.

😊    🌸    🌤    🥾

Got the sheets and one other load of clothes washed and hung out on the line.

Then I baked some Chocolate Chippers.
On Thursday a couple of people are coming over to see Ken's train layout.
They are going to take a video for their YouTube channel. 
It's been a tradition for years for me to bake Chocolate Chippers 
whenever anyone comes over to see the trains.
So this batch of cookies is for that.

Got some work done around the house and had time
to sit out on the front porch with Ken or a little while.

Supper tonight is Macaroni and Cheese with some broccoli on the side.
I make it with Velveeta, Mozzarella, and Cheddar cheese. 

That's it for this post.
Hope you enjoyed your day and it was a sunny one.
Thanks for coming by.

Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing 
and there’s so much to smile about.

The reflection of the clouds in the pond with the geese is just stunning.
I always love to see the cows and bulls.
I'm sure the people coming will enjoy the trains and the chocolate chippers!
