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

Saturday

43 degrees this morning when I started walking. 
No breeze and it was sunny once the sun rose at 7:15.

👟 Walked 6 miles. 👟

Walked all around town, around the ball park and one of the cemeteries.  
Went up to the school this morning too.

Saw Joy out walking and Rebecca.
I met Kermit's wife Elaine.  She was already doing her housework and on their front stoop shaking out some throw rugs.

Another great fall morning walk.

We had some of that Pumpkin Bread from yesterday for breakfast.
I like it with a little butter on it.

Then it was off to Dollar General to get some groceries.
There was only one other person in the store!

Another load of laundry got washed and hung out to dry on
another gorgeous fall day.

After lunch while Ken was working on the road I was closer
to the house out back clearing and working on my natural fence.
Lots of deadfall around to pick up to put on the fence.
Trying to keep up with what I've already cleared before starting
on a new section.

That's it for this day.
Thanks for stopping by.
A happy Saturday to you. 😀

GrannyM - I didn't do anything to the first picture on yesterdays post - it is right off my cell phone. I took the picture between two very large shrubs and they are what frames the picture.
Here is the rock again and I have outlined the eyes and mouth so you can see it smiling.

The Smiling Rock

Another one of those beautiful fall mornings.
42 degrees and calm with lots of sun.
👟 Walked 6 miles 👟

I start out each morning now walking down the main street
in town because it has street lights to light my way.
Once it was lighter I walked all over town, the ball park,
and one of the cemeteries.

I'm just getting to the cemetery on top of the hill here.
It is just after 8:00 and I'm nearing the end of my walk.
Interesting and beautiful walking in the sun seeing a cloud up ahead.
Couldn't decide which picture to post so here's all three.




I must have passed this rock hundreds of times walking and never noticed
until today that it is smiling. 🙂


Joy was out walking this morning
and I saw another woman walking her dog.

After eating breakfast Ken and I sit for a bit and talk about what we
are going to do during the day.
He had a hankering for some Pumpkin Bread and asked
if I would bake some today.
So that's what I did this morning.

Such a pretty day today so took advantage of it
and got a load of laundry hung out.

Went outside after lunch.
We are making a road where the tractor and ATV can drive along.
Even with the tractor it is quite a job.
We decided to make the road because getting all those rocks
and driving the tractor up and down has turned into a road
anyway.  So we are just making it longer.  
Though we can make our way to the cabin in the ATV through the
woods, having a road from the house to the cabin through the
woods would be great.
(Not for cars, just the tractor and ATV)
That should keep us busy for the next year!!

🍂 Happy October 🍁 
Hard to believe that September has come and gone already.
Thanks for stopping by.

October is the fallen leaf, 
but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. 
It is the distant hills once more in sight, 
and the enduring constellations above them once again.
