A lovely backyard

It was 68 degrees this morning, cloudy, and humid and very still - not a breeze to be felt.  The first of the paths I came to was closed for maintenance. 

So I passed up the path and decided to walk along the sidewalks along Gray Rock to the end and then back home again.  I haven't walked this route for a while and it is always nice to look at the houses and gardens.
This is one of my favorite back yards along the way.  It looks so inviting and I'd love to take a stroll around it or maybe sit and read a book.

I saw a few deer walking through back yards and two crossing the street.
Lots of people out walking and running.  We have nice sidewalks along both sides of the street and yet I bet three quarters of the people were in the street.  It is one of those things that really shouldn't matter to me, but it annoys me anyway, especially if I'm driving.

There were a lot of workers doing different things.
Curbs and sidewalks getting worked on.
Then there was the path.
Cables being put in along the sidewalks. 
Someone was getting a new patio and the stones were being delivered.
Another person getting a new shingles put on their roof.
Quite a busy morning!!

Lots to look at on my 6.5 mile walk.

I took a chance and hung out a load of clothes even though it was cloudy, but after an hour the sky took a dark turn and it started to rain.  So I had to hurry and take in the laundry and now it is drying on a wooden drying rack.  I put the rack over an AC duct and they will dry fine there.

Yesterday we took the paint label I got off the paint can earlier in the day and went to the Sherwin Williams paint store to get another can.  We went there because that's where we got the paint originally and thought it would be no problem to just get another can.  Well, we got the paint years ago and they don't make that color anymore and when we asked if they could mix up a color to match they said NO.  What a surprise, thought now a days they would be able to match a color easily.
So off to Lowe's we went and they mixed up the color exactly.  No problem at all. : )

Nothing planned for today.  Just taking what comes along. : )
Till next time......
 Have a great day.

This morning I walked my connect the paths route.  The temperature was 65 so a bit cooler than it has been the last few days.  Still warm but I didn't come home soaking wet.  I'm probably going to be wishing for some of these warm mornings when I'm walking in the winter in the teens. : )
 I saw the deer with her two young ones and a couple more deer later on.
Quite a few people along the paths too.  Most of them walking dogs.
A lot of the sidewalks are getting repaired and new concrete poured.  Must be getting things fixed up for school which starts in a couple of weeks.  Though why the sidewalks need to be fixed for that I don't know.  Kids don't walk to school around here.  They can't even walk to the bus stop!!
As always, my walk was a perfect way to start my day.
I walked 6.2 miles.

Knitting day today so off to the mill I went.  I parked in the driveway of the old house and walked over to the mill which is only a block or so away because I had to get the label off a paint can out of the house.
It was a nice morning of knitting and talking with knitting friends.  A smallish group of us there today with only 11 people.

Driving on the way home I had to stop the car for some deer crossing the street.  I counted one, two, three, four, five baby deer who all were very young.  Then two adults crossed over.  My camera was tucked way in my purse so I couldn't get a picture of any of them, but what a treat to see.

I have a favorite old pair of jeans that are so comfortable that I just don't want to throw them away.  They have lots of rips and holes in them and are really thin but they make good around the house pants.  I was going to throw them out last night but I ended up throwing them in the laundry.  : )  Just can't make myself throw them out yet.  Do you have a hard time throwing old jeans away too?

Here's what mine look like!

Nothing planned for this afternoon, just enjoying my time at home.
Hope your making your day a good one.
Happyone

There is only one way to happiness

and that is to cease worrying

about things which are beyond the power of our will.
