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

Log Pumpkins

Delightful walking weather this morning.
59 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds.

First walked to the post office to mail a card.
Continued all around town up and down the side streets.
Around the ball park, one of the cemeteries and the 
new road loop.
Three street lamps have been installed along the new road
since yesterday.
This is one of them.
 

The people who eventually live here will sure have some nice
sunrises to see each morning.

Rebecca was out walking Leo.
Saw David again on his way to work.

The morning sky.



Phil, the Wiggle Man is called that because he makes videos
in front of the dealership and jumps around a lot.
I know he is on FB book if you care to look him up.
I'm not on FB so don't have a link to give you.

Don't find many coins anymore but today I found a nickel.


🙂    🌤️    🍁    🍂

Another good day for laundry so did another load to hang outside.

David and Liz are coming over this evening for supper 
and we will also be playing Mexican Train.
I made Salsa Beef Stew for us to eat.
Made it first thing this morning and will just heat it up later.

Beautiful sunny day and after lunch I went outside.
Cut down some dead things and pulled weeds out of. the gravel.
Put out the wooden pumpkins I made last year out of logs.



After coming in and having a nice large cold drink of water
I took my book and went out on the porch to read.

David and Liz will be coming over soon so off I go.

Hope you had a wonderful day.
Thanks for stopping by.
HappyK🙂❤️

The Wiggle Man is back


 No misty walk this morning.
Just a little patchy fog and sunshine.
51 degrees and no wind.

First walked over to the library and brought back two of
the DVD's I got yesterday.
Both were pretty bad shows and we didn't watch
more than a few minutes to know we didn't want to see the rest.

Walked down the main road and there were sure some
good smells coming from 


David was on his way to work and saw me walking and stopped
to say good morning.

Walked to the DG Market and then went back through town.
Went around all my usual loops.
Cemeteries, Ball Park, and New Road.

Coming back down to the parking lot by the pond.


Some of you may remember I used to write about
Phil, the Wiggle Man.
He was the car salesman here at the Accident Car Dealership.
He left a few years ago to work in WV.
Well, this week he is back here in Accident.
I stopped to say hi and welcome him back.
I've missed seeing him each morning and glad he's back again.
He always has a smile with happy Good Morning as I walk by.

 Sure was nice to see some sunshine this morning.

🙂    🌤️    🍁

Nice and sunny so got a load of clothes washed and hung out to dry.
No side tracking for me today.
I spent most of the day getting my weekly house cleaning done.
Good feeling after putting it off the last 2 days!

One of the books I got yesterday is 
The Secret Book Society by Madeline Martin
and liked it right away.

The cows sure have been noisy on the farm today.
They are bellowing and it sounds so sad.🐄
I'm wondering if today the calves and cows are being separated.

Almost supper time so I'd better see to that.
Having big salads with all kinds of good things in it.
Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you had a wonderful day.
HappyK🙂❤️

Another misty morning

A morning like yesterday with mist in the air.
Temperature was 56 and sunrise was at 7:11.

Started walking down main street and up and down side
streets along the way.


Then back to the pond and around both of the cemeteries.



Not much going on in town in the dark early morning.
Rebecca was out walking Leo.
Nice to see someone else out walking.

🙂    ☁️    🍁    🍂

Food shopping day at Walmart.
Went first thing after breakfast and there was hardly anyone there.
We were back in town too early to stop at the library to pick up
a book I had on hold so went back to town to get it after lunch.
(Library doesn't open till 11:00)
I went to pick up one book,
looked around and ended up checking all these out.
You can guess what I did this afternoon.📕
Cleaning got sidetracked once again.


My African Violets continue to grow and bloom.
This is the smallest one.


So ends another post.
Hope you had a wonderful day.
Thanks for stopping by.
HappyK❤️🙂

Misty Walk

 A bit misty out there walking this morning.
Not enough to get wet just pretty damp.
It was 55 degrees and sunrise was at 7:10.


Walked to the library first to drop off a book and then
up and down some side streets.

Then it was around the ball park a couple of times
and the new road loop too.


Up and down a few more side streets and then walked around
the cemetery up the hill.

Very quiet around town and didn't see anyone else out walking.
I did see David driving through town on his way to work
and he gave me a little toot.


🍁    🙂    ☁️

Had to put the sheets on the drying rack inside this week.
Weather not so great for hanging clothes out on the line.

Made Macaroni Salad this morning to go with 
the chicken we are having for supper today.

Got side tracked from cleaning this afternoon
and ended up knitting.
Working on a throw blanket for myself.
This is what I have done so far.


That's going to be all for today.
Thanks for coming by and
Have a wonderful day.
HappyK🙂❤️

Sunday

 The moon this morning when I walked.


Farmer Marvin has starting cutting down the corn.


Psalm 34:1-5

 I will bless the LORD at all times: 
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: 
the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

 O magnify the LORD with me, 
and let us exalt his name together.

 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, 
and delivered me from all my fears.

 They looked unto him, and were lightened: 
and their faces were not ashamed.

⛪️    ⛪️    ⛪️

Today is the anniversary when Pastor Leatherman
started preaching at our church.
When he came 33 years ago there were just a handful of people.
Now all these years later there are more than 150 that come
regularly to church.
We've been going here since we moved here 13 years ago.

A Blessed Sunday to you.
HappyK🙂❤️
