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 warm morning

A warm 72 degrees this morning which is pretty rare to have it 
so warm first thing in the morning here.
It was cloudy and there was a breeze which kept it nice.
Looked like rain any moment but it never did.
Walked through town and down toward Happy Trails which is where the new house is.
The turn off is just down the road from here about a quarter of mile.
 Counted 11 little ones down there.

Back to town and walked the cemeteries and the ball park loop
and through town once again.
Saw Lisa out running and we stopped to say hi and saw two young women 
out running that I've never seen before.

Walked 6 miles

Ken has been up at the new house working on the driveway with the tractor
trying to get it just right.  
It is pretty steep with a curve and he's trying to lower it a couple of feet.

I was home baking cookies.  Bible time is coming up next month at church and
I'm baking 20 dozen cookies.  
Have some already made in the freezer.  
Today made chocolate chippers but will also bake snickerdoodles.
I've baked 8 dozen so far.

Took a walk down the street to the dentist.
We have cleaning appointments next week but can't make it then
and had to change our appointments.
But when I got there the office was closed today.
Well it was a nice little walk anyway.
Did some more reading this afternoon.

We've had a few thunderstorms throughout the day
and some sunshine too.

Hope you found the good in your day and you smiled often.
Life is Good

"How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear;
It soothes his sorrows heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear."

End of half price pizza

A warm 64 degrees this morning when I left on my walk.
It was sunny with some low hanging clouds.
 It had rained during the night but had stopped by morning.
I would have welcomed a light rain shower like yesterday morning to cool me off.
Walked the Farm Loop.
The only sound to hear was all the birds chirping their
happy morning songs and a tractor off in the distance.

 Once back to town I walked around one of the cemeteries a
couple of times, through town and home.

The horses I usually see were nowhere to be seen today
and the cows weren't around either.

One side of the street in town has all new sidewalks
and the other side is about half done.
It is taking a while but looks so nice.

Walked 6 miles
Found 2 pennies
🐰     🦊     🐻
Got a couple loads of laundry hung up out on the line.
 With it warm and sunny they dried faster than if I had a dryer.

Made a quick sweep around the house cleaning and straightening things up.
I'll be doing that daily until the house sells.

 Next up was to get the grass mowed.
With my 0 turn rider mower I get our acre mowed in just 45 minutes.

During the afternoon I took a break and did some reading.
Haven't done any reading for the last few days.
Also my nails were in bad shape after all the weeding
(though I did wear gloves)
so I did my nails too.

We met David again for supper at Brenda's and had pizza
but it is no longer Half Price Pizza Monday.
Now that it is summer time this week they quit doing it.
Half price will start again after Labor Day.
We will still have a Monday Pizza though.

 Temperature up to 82 degrees - that is pretty warm for here.

Hope your day was a happy one.
 Life is Good
happyone 💕
