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

LaVale

 A cool 57 degrees this morning with sunny skies and a breeze.
I like to hear the wind blowing through the corn.
It has it's own unique sound.

Walked around both of the cemeteries to start.

Here's a look at the garden down by the Drane house.


Haven't seen any geese at the pond lately.


Continued walking through town and up and down side streets
making my way to the ball park which I walked around.
Then it was back to the Jeep and the end of my walk.
Rebecca was out walking Leo and just starting her walk as I ended mine.

😊    🥾    ☀️

Food shopping day and we went to the Walmart down in LaVale.
A much better shopping experience at that Walmart than
the one in Oakland.

Work continues on my recipes and I now have one binder
of 125 recipes in it and on my blog.
Have some more recipes to look through to add them
or throw them away.
I can see the end in sight.

Read a little more out on the porch.
Having hot Italian sausage, with onions and peppers
for supper which are cooking on the stove now.

Hope you enjoyed your Tuesday.
Thanks for coming by.

The garden is wonderful! I like your fountain photo, too. It almost looks like fall because of the golden tint.

I enjoyed seeing the garden by the Drane House. It reminds me of the gardens that you see when you go through a historical place like Mount Vernon. Very pretty.

Sounds like you are definitely making progress on your recipe journey! Good for you.

Hi Karen! Good for you for getting your recipes all organized. You inspire me to do the same! The Drane House garden is looking good! Have a good Wednesday! See you again soon!

Jeanette said...

That is a great garden! Is it a community garden?

That's what my husband wants to do with the rest of our backyard lawn area - put in planter boxes for growing more food. I guess that means we're not getting another dog. We're still negotiating that!
