Cows Counted Cross Stitch

62 degrees this morning with a mix of sun and clouds for walking.

Walked around one cemetery and then the other.

Down by the farm pond behind the Drane house one of the bulls

is getting a drink.

I saw both horses this morning too.

Haven't seen them for a while. 

Next I walked down the main road toward home a ways turned around

came back to town and stopped at the Jeep to pick up a DVD.

Continued to the library and put it down the drop.

Then walked over to the ball park and walked that loop a coupe of times.

I spotted 4 baby chicks.

3 of them here

and one little chick that was on the wrong side of the fence.

If you look closely you can see the other 3 of them at the right edge of the picture.

I tried to catch the one to put her back but couldn't catch her.

No one else out this morning that I saw anyway.

😊    🥾    🌤

Did a load of laundry and out on the line to dry.

Got them off the line just in time before it started raining this afternoon.

I baked another batch of cookies this morning.

This time lemon ones for a friend who has a birthday coming up

and loves anything lemon.

These were super easy made with lemon cake mix.

Just add 2 eggs and 1/2 cup of oil to the cake mx.

I added a small amount (1/4 teaspoon) of lemon extract.

Drop by tablespoons on cookie sheet and bake 14 minutes 

in a 350 degree oven.

Finished knitting my pink slippers last evening and 

sewed them together today.

SLIPPERS

I got the cow counted cross stitch kit out that I bought a little while ago.

This is so nice.

A nice big in color chart.

The floss already sorted.

I got the cloth onto the frame.

I've never used a square frame like this before.

Only used the round hoops.

So far like it.

Did a little bit of the cross stitch just to get started.

Hard starting with white because I could hardly see it.

So much easier with the dark color.

Here's a close up to see it better.

It is only 7 by 9 1/2 inches so not a big project and it shouldn't take me

all that long.

Nice to get started on a cross stitch again, it's been a while.

That's all for today.

Hope your day was a happy one.

Thanks for stopping by.

Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

Michelle - I enjoy doing Wordle too and have done it every morning for a long time.

Tuesday

When I went for my walk this morning it was 67 degrees.

A mix of sun and clouds and a breeze to keep things cool.

Sunrise is now a nice early 5:59.

Walked around both of the cemeteries first.

 The geese families were around the pond and now

when I walk by they don't all run to the water.

They just stay and watch me walk by.

Thought these little ant hills were pretty neat on the paved path

around the cemetery.

Stopped at the Jeep and picked up a couple of DVD's

and then walked to the library to put them down the drop.

From there I walked over to the ball park and walked that loop

a couple of times.

Bill was there mowing the grass.

Then it was up and down the side streets till I had all my steps in.

What I like about this toy is that you can tell kids play on it. 

You can tell by the worn out grass.

It is at one of the day care places in town.

Nice to see Shawn out walking this morning.

Haven't seen her in a long time.

Rebecca was also out walking.

Clover on the edge of the library parking lot.

Tuesday we usually go food shopping and we did that this

morning at Walmart.

By the time I got everything put away it was just about lunch time.

I've been on a crossword puzzle kick and did a couple of them this afternoon.

Read a while out on the porch till a thunderstorm sent me inside.

It was very windy and the rain was coming straight onto the porch.

Just about done knitting my pink slippers, should finish this evening.

Hope your day was a good one.

Thanks for stopping by.

HappyK😊

Life is very interesting…in the end, some of your greatest pains 

become your greatest strengths.
