Reading

We had some pretty violent thunderstorms come

by during the night.

The thunder kept rumbling on for such a long time.

A little rain still falling as I started walking this morning

so my umbrella came in handy again.

After 20 minutes or so the rain stopped and the rest of my 

walk was mostly sunny with a few clouds.

The temperature was 65 degrees.

Had my usual walk all over town, around both cemeteries, the ball park,

and the new road loop.

The picture doesn't do this justice.

It was breathtaking.
  

I saw RuthAnne out walking her dogs.

🙂    ☔️   🌤️

Did a few things around the house but spent

a good part of the day reading.

Kept on reading till I finished my book.

The Castle in the Glen by Rhys Bowen.

I thought it was a great book!!!

A book within a book.

This week for super we are having another Margarita pizza 

like we did last week.

Still have lots of tomatoes from our tiny little garden.

Just a note - I've been reading blogs but unable to comment.🙁

Think many of you are having the same problem.

Hope your day was a good one.

Thank you for coming by.

Then and now

My new umbrella has been in the laundry room

and this morning I thought I might as well put it in the Jeep.

( that's where I always keep it)

No rain was expected but as I was walking I

felt a few drops of rain and went to the Jeep and got the umbrella.

The rain came down in buckets so I got to use the new umbrella.

It only rained for 5 minutes and then just cloudy.

Temperature was 72.

Yesterday I was looking on the internet for a picture of the old

post office in town when it was in use but couldn't find anything.

But I did come across this old picture of the

Zion Cemetery which is the one on top of the hill.

Don't know what year it was taken.

Here it is this morning.

The new sign was moved to the left.

Walked down the main road towards home, up Sale Barn a ways,

then both cemeteries, and the new road loop.

Continued around town till I had all my steps in.

Anna and her dad Mark were out walking

and saw Rebecca out too.

😊    ☁️    ☔️

Finished up this week house cleaning.

Made some of those Forgotten Cookies.

I made the little bite ones.

RECIPE

 This afternoon I went outside and pulled weeds

out of the gravel around the house.

It's an overwhelming job and the rest I'm not going to worry about 

and just let the weeds die on their own.

Then I sat out on the front porch for a while.

Supper tonight is soft shell tacos.

It's been a good day and for that I am thankful.

Thank you for coming by.

Hope you had a wonderful day.

HappyK🙂

Debby - Yes, the old post office is abandoned. It's been like that ever since we've lived here.
