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

The chickens

 A warm 48 degrees when I walked.
The moon was bright in the sky this morning 
but a few clouds around this time.
I woke up a bit late and didn't get to town till 7:00 to walk
so it wasn't quite so dark.


Walked around town and then both of the cemeteries,
the ball park, and the new road too.


Now that it was lighter out the chickens were out of their coop.
Here they come running over to me.


These two are my favorite ones.


I thought I'd see a few people out walking because I was a little
bit later but didn't see anyone.

When I first got to town the fountain in the pond was on.
I saw Bill a little while later and he was turning off the fountain.
My guess was the fountain would be turned off November first.
Was just a few days off.
I'll miss seeing and hearing the fountain but now the pond will be like glass
some days and I'll be seeing some great reflections.

We went to Walmart for our weekly grocery shopping.
Didn't need all that much this week so was in and out pretty quickly.

Stopped at the library on the way home to pick up another book
I had on reserve and a DVD Ken picked out.

Put some chicken in the slow cooker to use in a recipe tomorrow.

Puttered about the house this afternoon and off I go now
to get supper before going to church.
Having one of those salads with everything on it.

Hope you had a wonderful day.
Thanks again for stopping by.

A day to enjoy

Another bright starry morning with a big bright moon.
40 degrees and no wind.
Sunrise 7:40

A walk all around town under the street lights this morning.
Then when it was light enough went around both of the cemeteries
and the new road loop.
Didn't make it to the ball park because I had all my steps in by then.



I usually see deer on my way to town but didn't see any today.
There were a couple of raccoons that I saw though sauntering
across the street just down from my driveway.

 Walking around the cemetery I saw a rabbit.
It is the first one I've seen in a long time.

Noticed that the For Sale sign is gone by the old pizza place in town.
Wonder if it was sold or just taken off the market.
Time will tell.

Got another load of laundry hung out on the line this morning
and finished all the weekly housework. 
Now it is just maintaining the rest of the week.

Had a nice afternoon of reading and knitting.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Hope you had a wonderful day.
HappyK 🙂❤️
