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

Umbrella

Happy September
68 degrees and cloudy this morning for walking.
Sunrise 6:45

Walked over to the library first to put a DVD down the drop. 
Then continued to the industrial park and walked around there.



Back to town and around the ball park loop and new road loop.

Stopped to talk to Anna and her dad Mark.

Pretty quiet around town on this first day of September.


☁️    😊    🍁

We only needed a few things this week so didn't make
the trip to either Walmart this week.
We just went to Deep Creek to the Shop and Save
which is just 7 miles down the road.
We went after lunch which was unusual for us.
Usually if we have to go anywhere we go in the morning.
We got a new kind of ice cream.
I thought it was by Edie but couldn't find the name on the container.
Anyway it is called KitKat.
Just had to try it and will have some tonight!


I'm looking forward to a rainy walk.
Why you ask?
Because Ken surprised me with a nice big new umbrella.
My old one after 14 years has seen better days.
I now have a nice big pink one and will be easily
seen on those rainy mornings.



That's going to be it for today.
Thank you for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day.

Your new umbrella is a pretty color and will be a nice splash of joy in the rain!
I am loving seeing the grasses right now. You got a nice photo of that one.

What a treat and fun surprise to have your husband surprise you with a new umbrella!

What a pretty umbrella! I believe I have seen this ice-cream. I love Kit-Kat candy, so am anxious to have your review of the taste! The sky is gorgeous with the huge swipe of yellow. God's paintbrush.

Hello,
The ice cream sounds yummy. Great photos.

I love the little details in this post, especially the 14-year-old umbrella finally being retired and Ken surprising you with a big pink replacement. After 15,389 steps, I think that umbrella is going to get plenty of use. The early morning walk, the quiet town, stopping to chat with Anna and Mark, and then an unexpected afternoon shopping trip make this feel like such a lovely ordinary day. Now I am curious about that KitKat ice cream too, especially since you have already decided it is tonight's treat.
