Hot and sticky

out there walking this morning - 74 and very humid.  I walked down a couple of paths and a couple of roads between paths.
Here things look lush and green by the water and you can see the haze above the trees.

Walking along the the road I saw two baby deer when I looked down in the woods.  They stood still and I took their picture.  They are kind of hard to see down there, hope you can see find them.

Just ahead I walked down the path and saw a grown deer who must have been there mom.  I saw two more deer later on too.
I passed some cone flowers with three gold finches were eating the seeds for breakfast.
People out running, walking, biking, and pushing baby strollers.  Quite a lot of activity for an early hot Saturday morning.
Found the first coins of the month - a dime and a penny.
Didn't quite make the 6 mile mark this morning.  Walked 5.7 and I must have drank a quart of water when I got home!!

Ken left to go to work at the old house while I was out walking.  He plans on spending the whole day over there.  One of the things he will be doing is power washing the house. He loves that job and it should keep him nice and cool.

In the morning I walked down to church to watch and support the musical pastor of our church get questioned by a panel of pastors.  This is part of the process of him becoming an ordained pastor.  He stood for 2 hours and 15 minutes getting questioned about his life, beliefs and church doctrine.  It was quite an ordeal and I thought he did a great job.  He spoke well and seemed at ease answering all the hard questions. 
Then all the pastors went off to discuss how he did.  Just 5 minutes later they came back with a recommendation of YES.  Now tomorrow morning during church the church members will vote yes or no on the recommendation. If it is yes, there is a ceremony tomorrow evening at church for Pastor Bob and it becomes official.
Pastor Bob has my yes vote!! : )
I wasn't going to go first but I'm glad I did.  I'd never been to anything like it before and actually learned quite a lot.
I could have stayed at church for lunch but decided to come on home and had lunch here.

I plan on doing very little the rest of afternoon.  I'm enjoying my book so I'll read some more of that. 

We plan to go out eat somewhere for dinner which is a nice thing to look forward to.

Hope your day is a happy one.

A little something

It was 69 degrees out this morning and another humid one.  I started out by walking over to the liquor store parking lot to pick up any coins I might find, but didn't see any today.
Then walked to a path which is about a half mile from home.  There are many paths all through the woods and neighborhoods and the one I walked on today runs along a little stream and has off shoot paths up to some of the streets.  I decided to stay on this one path because it was cooler under the trees by the water.  As I came to an off shoot I walked up each one to the road and then back down to the main path and continued on.  When I got to the end of the path I turned around and just walked straight back home. 
Along the path I saw a couple of other walkers and a runner and quite a few people walking dogs.  I heard lots of bird chirping away but didn't see any other wildlife.  I think the all the dogs must have made the wildlife go into hiding.
It was a nice walk and somewhat cooler walking in the shade.
I walked 6.5 miles.

It seems strange being home on a Friday.  It's been a while since we haven't gone up to the land on a weekend.

I picked out my next book from among the many waiting to be read on my shelves.  I chose an Agatha Christie book.  It has four complete novels in it.  The first one is  Caribbean Mystery, second is Nemesis, third Murder in Mesopotamia, and the fourth and last Appointment With Death. 

Last night after supper we went out to get some ice cream.  We got Edy's this time because they were having a good sale.  I had some chocolate chip mint for my snack and it was good but I like Turkey Hill brand better.
We also picked up a watermelon and I am looking forward to having some later today.  I think it would be a good dessert after supper to eat out on the deck.  I think it is always nice to have some little thing to look forward to during the day. A little something that when you think of it, it makes you smile. : )

Home today again but I enjoy being home doing this and that around the house.

Hope your day finds you smiling often.
Happyone

Who ever is happy will make others happy too.
