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

Another Sunny Day

Once again we have a beautiful sunny morning and day.
Sure nice to be out early this morning and walking.
It was 50 degrees and calm.

Started my walk going around one of the cemeteries.
Next went down the road towards home but took a detour
up Sale Barn road.


 

Walked through town and up and down the side streets
as I made my way over to the ball park and around that loop.
The four baby chicks are getting big.
Might be hard to see but there are 4 of them standing close together.


Continued walking back through town and up to the other cemetery
and walked around there to finish up my walk.

Swimming in the pond were not only the two geese families
that I've been watching, but three others have moved in too.
 A rare moment to catch all five families on the pond
at the same time.
Stayed for a little while watching them.


Nice to see Rebecca out walking on this beautiful morning.

😊    🥾    ☀️    🌸

Clothes out on the line blowing gently in the wind this morning.
A lovey sight to see.

Ken asked if I would bake some English Muffin Loaves
so I did that this morning plus finishing up my weekly
house cleaning chores.

Went outside for a little while after lunch.
Picked out a few weeds out of the gravel and just walked
around for a bit.
Then I sat out on the front porch and read for a while.

Sorry to say I've given up on the cow counted cross stitch.
I keep making mistakes and just can't see good enough.
It's complicated with so many colors very similar.
I'm not enjoying doing it so I figure why do it.
Have so many other things I enjoy doing.


Hope you enjoyed your Thursday.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

Debbie -  Summer temperatures here where I live range between the mid 70's to the mid 80's during the day.  Night temperatures range from the mid 50's to 60's. We do have some HOT days in the 90's once in a while but not as a rule.  The summers to me feel like one long spring!

Isn't it lovely to walk on these pretty days and take joy in the wildflowers growing along the edge of the road? We have those purple ones too and I really like them.
I don't blame you for quitting that cross stitch. Sometimes it just isn't worth it!

What beautiful photographs and such a wonderful landscape! I loved the little geese and the chickens. And the feeling of that small lake brings such a sense of peace. Right now, just before bedtime, an image like this will stay with me and carry me away.

Hi Karen, I've been taking a break from blogging lately and sorry I haven't been by with comments for you. Since my last visit you've changed your format and added a new header and it all looks GREAT! Very nice work. I so admire my blogging friends who post daily or almost daily and do a great job of it. Keep up the good work and say HI to Ken. John

Dear Karen, your photos are gorgeous and the chickens are so cute.

I think it is good to not persevere if you don't like doing something. Life is short enough to waste any time. The pond water is so beautiful.

It is good that you gave up the cow. Life is short enough without wasting your time on something you don't like. The pond water is so pretty!

...I can relate to not being to see well enough either!

Lots of geese and goslings on the pond. The water is so blue!! I like the contrast with the green grass.
