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

Sheets

 A cloudy morning today and 50 degrees for walking.
There was a little breeze too.


Enjoyed my usual walk all over town, including all
4 of the loops.
A couple of big trucks and an excavator was just getting
to the new road loop as I was leaving there.
Makes me wonder if a lot has been sold and they will
be getting the lot ready for building.

Over at the ball park loop in the stream I saw a heron.
He flew away as soon as he saw me and
I didn't have enough time to take a picture.

No one else out walking that I saw.

☁️    ๐Ÿ™‚    ๐Ÿ

On my way back home I drove past my street to home
and went up the road a few more miles and dropped the
Jeep off at Art Butler's garage to get the oil changed
and the tires rotated.
Ken was there in the truck and drove me back home.

The clouds gave way to a nice sunny day though a bit windy.
A typical Fall day with that crisp fresh air.
๐ŸŒค️
Nice day for getting the sheets out on the line to dry.
Did another load of clothes also.
I always take the sheets off the bed, wash and dry them,
 and put them right back on the bed.
My mom used to take the sheets off the bed and put
clean ones on from the closet.
Then wash them another day.
I like my way better because you get that fresh smell
and don't have to fold sheets!!
๐Ÿงบ
Did some knitting this afternoon.
Working on the throw blanket for Ken.
๐Ÿงถ
Then we went to pick up the Jeep.
๐Ÿš˜
Easy supper tonight.
Some more of the Salsa Beef Stew I made last week.
I had put some in the freezer.

Hope your Monday was sunny and bright.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

Ginny - The Baptist Bread is a small 4 x 5 booklet that is published bi-monthly and I get them from my church.  They hand them out to whoever wants one.  Tom Green is the editor.  If you have a baptist church around by you I'm sure they would give you one if you asked.  I know my church would!

Sunday

 

Proverbs 13:7
 There is that maketh himself rich,
yet hath nothing: 
there is that maketh himself poor, 
yet hath great riches.

I read a little devotional each day called the Baptist Bread.
 Read this little story in it this week.

True Riches
A rich landowner rode around his vast estate 
congratulating himself on his great wealth. 
He saw an old tenant farmer, sitting under a tree.
He asked what he was doing.
He replied, I was thanking God for my food.

If that's all I had to eat, I wouldn't feel like giving thanks, 
replied the rich man.

The old farmer responded:
God has given me everything I need
and I am thankful for it.
The farmer added,
It is strange you should come by today because I had a dream last night.
In my dream the richest man in the valley died tonight.
 I thought I ought to tell you.

Dreams are nonsense the rich man said and left.
But he could not forget the words:
The richest man in the valley died tonight.

He knew he was the richest man in the valley 
so he invited his doctor to his house that evening.
After a thorough examination, the doctor told the wealthy landowner,
There is no way you are going to die tonight.

Nevertheless, for assurance, the doctor stayed the night.
The physician left the next morning, 
and the man apologized for becoming so upset over the poor man's dream.

In the morning, a messenger arrived at the rich man's door.
What is it?  he demanded.
The messenger said,
It's about the old farmer.
He died last night in his sleep.

Who possessed the true riches?

A blessed Sunday to you.
