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

Pretty Skies this morning

A beautiful start to the day.
🎃     🎃     🎃
54 degrees this morning and sunrise was at 7:36.  A bit windy out there!!
Some clouds in the sky which made for a beautiful sunrise.

I took this picture up on the main road looking between the trees down
at the town pond.
Walked all over town on one of my random walks.  I never seem to follow any of
my mapped out routes anymore, just walk wherever my feet take me.
This picture is behind the ball park loop. I like to walk along
the trail and hear the rustling of the leaves.
Didn't see Cathy till she was at the end of her walk so just walked once
around the parking lot with her.

Workers working on the Fire House putting new brick on the outside
and over at the car dealers they are getting ready for the blacktop
to be put around the new building.  

Walked 6.2 miles
🎃     🎃     🎃
When I got back from walking, Ken was already up at the house.
He went up to dig the trench from the power box to the house so the power
can be hooked up, which will hopefully happen in the next few days.
 The garage walls went up today.
The garage walls had to be up so the power box could be put on the wall,
then Ronnie won't have to use a generator.

I stayed home today.  It was chilly with rain showers.

My turn has come around again to bake cookies for the kids at Sunday school.
I baked some chocolate chippers this morning.
Have to bake another batch which I will do later in the week.

Ken came home for lunch and when he went back to the house I gave
him three bags of cookies to take up to Ronnie and his two helpers, Cameron, and Billy.

This afternoon I got some reading done and also did a bit of knitting.

I am so far behind catching up with you! It sounds like the house is coming along nicely or are you talking about Happy Trails? Beautiful sunrise! Our temps here In TN have been very similar although our color changes haven't hit their peak yet. It must be beautiful where you live now!
