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

Still escaping

Left the house a little earlier than usual at 6:15 this morning
and that was sunrise time.
It was 41 degrees, cloudy, and felt like rain so 
took along my umbrella just in case.


Another walk to town today and over to the ball park and walked
that loop a couple of times.
Then a loop around town before heading back home again.
 


 Happy to say I didn't need the umbrella because on the way
home it got sunnier and sunnier.


Full sun when I reached home.
This is across the street from our house.



Walked my usual 6 miles

☁️     🌤     ☀️

Oh no that calf escaped again and came up our driveway
and this time he brought along a friend.
His friend is down at the bottom and is a red color.
A little hard to see him between the trees.
They must have jumped the cattle gate because I saw
Farmer Gene mend the fence!


After lunch we went hiking around Happy Trails for a while.
Walked along the trails and picked up branches that fell.
There is always something to be picked up along the way
and we try to keep the trails clear.

Though I like all the seasons, this time of year is my favorite time
to be here hiking around in the woods.
Temperature just at 60, sunny, and you can see far into the woods.
I like it before everything grows in and gets overgrown.
 We didn't see any deer or bears but did see evidence that 
they're out there.

We sat on the porch for a bit before going back in the house.

Worked on the cross stitch some more too.
You should see some good progress on Monday!

This picture is for you Inger.
I know you like rusted things and when I saw this I thought of you. 🙂

 Life is Good
Thanks for stopping by.
A happy and healthy day to you.

Thanks Carolyn 😀


A walk in the misty rain this morning.
Temperature 39 degrees and calm.

Another trip to town and a few laps around the cemeteries
before heading back towards home.



No people about this morning.

Walking down the main road those big 18 wheelers really kick up
a mist.  A couple of the drivers I see every day move over if there are 
no cars coming the other way so I don't get sprayed.
Always give them a little thank you wave. 👋

A nice quiet peaceful walk even in the rain
and happy to be outside. 

Walked 6 miles

Breakfast done, laundry going in the washing machine
and we left for a quick trip to Shop and Save.
Ice cream sale and they had my favorite ice cream
Chippedy Chocolaty.
That's the correct name of it.  I've always called it Chocolate Chippity.
You can guess what my snack will be this evening!! 🍨

Got some more work done on the cross stitch,
read a little, and did some knitting too.
Speaking of cross stitching
Carolyn, who doesn't have a blog but reads mine,
read yesterday that I ran out of floss
and she has offered to send me an extra one that she has.
How nice!!!  Thank you so much Carolyn.
What a thoughtful and kind thing to do!!

I'll end on that happy note.

 A happy and healthy day to you.
Thanks for stopping by.
happyone ❤️

Diane - Ken's been playing a game called Cities Skylines.  A game where you build cities.
He has one coming in the mail where you build farms.  If I liked to play these kinds of games I just might like that one.
I found some free games to play on line at this website.

Becki - Glad you enjoy 'walking' along with me.  Thanks for leaving a comment to let me know. 🙂
