As I walked in this quite little village , in the predawn light, I caught a glimpse of the amazing Harvest moon, still low in the sky, it was big and round and had a glow of warm orange that only mother nature can create. A big smile on my face, I continued, there around the bend, was the family of deer I see each morning, they are only a few feet away from me, standing proud and fearless in the early morn, I call out to them very softly, and they barely take notice, just continue their morning grazing. There are about 7 of them, two babies.I love that they are a part of my day. On down the street I find that the local peacock has decided to hang out at a different house than usual, then I remember it is garbage pick-up day and he always leaves home on that day and goes to church, yes , he does, he goes to the church yard on the next street. I think those loud trucks scare him. As I continue down the path, thru the post office parking lot, and toward the park, on to the school track to wrap up my walk, I have to stop at our store and get a bottle of water, as the temperature is rising, and I am getting to warm, but I am on the home stretch .. the cows are there to say good morning…the owner of the cows plays country western music for them 24/7 as they are show cows and they have to prepare to be in a noise environment . I always think they are looking at me with their big brown cow eyes and asking”won’t you please turn that d—– radio off for us” I almost would if I thought I could get through the electric fence without getting zapped. I am sharing all this with you to post my gratitude for all this richness in my life, I am thinking everyone should be so lucky to start their day in this magical way… what was magical for you today?
morning walks…
What a beautiful post…..I feel like I am reading a wonderful story as you have such a descriptive way of talking about your walk!! Love it! Cathy aka GGJ
Thank you for taking us along on your beautiful walk! What a treat!
Dearest Linda,
Reading this post makes me yearn to live in the country and it motivates me to “think about” becoming a morning person:)
Hearing country music 24/7 would make me go insane. I think that if I were one of those cows, I would purposefully walk through the electric fence for some relief…Sometimes my husband says I was born in the wrong time and in the wrong place (but I do love Texas).
Thank you for visiting my blog and for your comment. It’s wonderful to know I’m not the only one entranced by the age of technology!
Take care,
Mandy
It’s true Linda, you guys truly are legendary here in the great Pacific Northwest

Laughing about what the cows are thinking… I believe I’d think the same thing! I’ve lived in a large city, the burbs, and a small town, and even though a large city has plenty of excitement, numerous places to eat, and wonderful things to do, I believe I’d go for a small town anyday. For all the things a small town lacks, at least it has what I consider the pluses in life: a slower pace, no traffic jams, fresher air, more room to move around, and often times, friendlier neighbors. Besides, we can now shop on the Internet! Have a great big Texas-Sized day, Linda and Ludlow!
