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

Leaves and eggs

More mild temperatures in the 60's and foggy in spots on my morning walk today. I stopped along the way and picked up pretty colored leaves for my cousin Patty. She lives in California and loves the fall leaves so every year I mail her some.
This is a picture of the town house yesterday with the plumbing being worked on.
They were just finishing putting the big black electrical cable in the unit next to ours so that probably was done yesterday too.
I already posted a picture of the front stoop cinder block the other day but this is just a better picture.
I bought these wooden eggs to paint a long time ago. They have been just sitting in a basket waiting to be painted.
Yesterday afternoon I decided to paint them. I know it's fall and I should be thinking about pumpkins and fall stuff instead of colored eggs for spring. Maybe because I like spring better and I'm not looking forward to winter. I'd like to skip right over winter and go from fall to spring again.
Anyway here are those eggs painted.
And here they are painted and back in the basket. I think I should paint the basket too.
Ken had another vacation day to use up yesterday but we stayed home most of the day. Ken was working on his glass project for his class tonight and I was inside doing a bit of cleaning. We took a break to go to the town house and had a sandwich from Subway (in the shopping center across the street from the house) for lunch. I'm trying to finish up my house cleaning today but I don't think I'll get it done. I still have to do my exercise tape and my book is calling to me. Reading sounds a lot better to do than cleaning. So off I go for now! I hope you are doing something that makes you happy!

John is enjoying seeing the townhouse progress as much as I am, I think.

What color are you going to paint your basket? I like your painted eggs. And, I love the leaves on your table like that, too. Be sure to save a few for yourself. :D

I love the picture of the pretty colored leaves and the eggs too. I wonder what color you will paint the basket.
It's interesting to watch the progress on your town house.
