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

A day of weeding

49 degrees and sunny and calm this early Saturday morning.
Walked up and down the streets in town today and both cemeteries
and the ball park loop.
Coming down from the cemetery on top of the hill in this picture.
 The old barn by the pond at the Drane house is still standing
though I think a few more boards have fallen off.
Ivy has grown up the trunks of the trees.
There are a couple more bunnies hopping around at the cemetery.
I saw two little ones.  They sure were cute.

This is such a nice time of the year for walking
and I walked 6 miles.
🐞     🐞     🐞
I spent the whole day outside weeding the large front garden
down by the driveway.
Started at 9 in the morning.
Took a break for lunch at 12:15 to 1:00 and weeded again till 4:15.
 That is a lot of weeding.
I have a blister on the palm of my right hand, a thorn in my finger
on the left hand which I can't get out and I have a wedge of
sunburn in the small of my back.  The space between my jeans
and my t-shirt from leaning over.
The garden sure looks nice now though but I tell you,
I sure don't feel like weeding again for a while!!

We haven't heard anything back on the reaction from the people
looking at the house yesterday and haven't had any
others looking today.
Maybe tomorrow.

I always look forward to my evening ice cream but
I'm really looking forward to it tonight.

Hope your day was a happy one.

May all your weeds be wildflowers.

Viewing Number 1

Walked over to the library to drop a book down the book drop,
then walked around the Farm Loop again.
49 degrees, sunny and calm.
It was a beautiful morning.
I saw quite a few killdeers and a bunch of red winged blackbirds.
I must have been by some nests because the birds were noisy
and kept flying around me.
The corn have sprouted and are just tiny little things.
I walked into the field to take the picture.
I saw a couple of bears getting ready to take a little row around the pond.  😊 
I walked the loop in the opposite direction of yesterday so when I
got back to town I walked around by the industrial park for a 6 mile walk.
 🌼     🌼     🌼
11:30 this morning the photographer came and took a bunch of
pictures of the house.
So before she came we made sure everything looked as good as
we could make it.

After lunch we got a call from our realtor and the first viewing was
coming at 3:30.  As you can imagine we were pretty excited.
We left the house at 3:15 and no sooner got out of the
driveway when they showed up.

We went down the street and parked in the dentist parking lot
to wait for them the leave.
We thought it was a good sign that they stayed for 45 minutes
looking around.
Haven't heard anything back yet, good or bad.

After supper we went up to the new house to see what's been
done today.  Didn't see anything different from yesterday.

I liked the Golden Oreo's yesterday but do like the original
ones best.  A close second for me is the mint ones.
Going for the ice cream tonight though.
Cookies and Cream

Hope your day was a happy one
