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

Rainy but still a nice day : )

Well the rain and wind are still here but this morning the rain stopped for me so I could take my walk. : )  It was 44 degrees and here at the cemetery I could see the rain coming my way but I made it home before it actually got to me.
 I stayed around town again so I could hurry home once the rain came.  I noticed this gravestone in a back yard on one of the side streets in town.  Never noticed that it was a gravestone before.  Last summer it was amongst lots of flowers and I thought it was a stone decoration in the middle of them.  At first I thought maybe it was a dogs grave but doubt whether it would have a full name.  Must be a child only 12 years old.  Sad.
I didn't see anyone else out again.  It was a dreary morning but sure glad I was able to have a nice walk.

I walked 6.2 miles.
Found a dime. : )
That makes 11 cents this month.

After lunch we went to do a little food shopping at Walmart and the Shop and Save.  Nice to get out of the house for a little while.  The rain stopped this afternoon but it's been a cloudy dreary day and more rain is on the way.

I baked some chocolate chippers this afternoon to take to Cherry Hill tomorrow. 
Continued reading my book this afternoon and also did a little knitting.

Hope your day was one that made you smile.

I would smile too if I was the recipient of one of your chocolate chippers. Do you use the recipe on the chocolate chip bag?

Guess we're under the same weather cloud again! Sounds like the same temps, too. You're so good at finding the joys along the way. Hey! Things are looking up...a dime!

Late commenting on this. Somehow the time got away from me yesterday! Those chocolate chippers will really be enjoyed at Cherry Hill! Have a good Thursday!
