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

Cows out to pasture

 45 degrees when I started walking this morning and sunny
with some high thin clouds which made the sun look like a glowing ball.


Sunrise 5:57
Morning Walk Steps 13,413


Walked to the library and dropped off a DVD and then over
to the post office to mail a birthday card to a friend.

Next walked up and down all the streets in town.
Around the lower cemetery and up to the other cemetery.
Didn't see anyone else out today except for Farmer Marvin who
was at the big barn.
The cows and their calves have been moved out of the barn now
and into many different pastures.
I will miss seeing them but I'm sure they'd rather be roaming around outside.


There are just a few cows left down at the end of the barn.

20 pairs of cows and calves have been put in the pasture down the
road from my house.

Leaving the barn I went to the ball park to walk around the loop
a couple of times and then back to the Jeep.

Thought it would be fun to watch this garden grow.
It looks so nice and neat with the plants planted on little hills.


Another Iris has bloomed in the same yard I took the picture of
the light purple one the other day.
I like this dark one too.

Sheets washed and hung out on the line this morning and got a 
 start on this weeks house cleaning.

After lunch I was outside trying to control some weeds.
Weeded some out of the gravel and did a some mowing out back.
Pretty hard going though with such uneven rocky terrain.

I enjoyed my time afterward sitting on the front porch knitting.
I'm still working on the pillow.
It is red and I was sitting near the hummingbird feeder.
The hummer must have been attracted to my red yarn because
it hovered right in front of me checking it out.
Pretty cool to be so close to the bird!!

Well that's been my Monday so far.
Thanks for popping in for a visit.
Happy Monday
