A Red Blanket

 This morning when I walked it was 26 degrees,

cloudy and a bit windy.

Had a very haphazard walk all around town.

Today there were icy patches so was limited in the places

I felt save walking.

But it was good to be outside and I did get all of my steps in.

A lot of people keep their Christmas lights on all night so it is

nice walking around town seeing all the lights.

It especially looks nice in the snow.

Again didn't see anyone else out.

Lena called while I was walking to ask if I would pick her up

for the stitchery group.

She is a neighbor who lives a little more that a mile from me

and she is right on the way.

 ☁️    🙂    🎄

I was a bit optimistic in thinking I could get

the scarf knitted in a day.

Just got a little more than half done yesterday.

I picked up Lena and we got to the library at 9:30.

There were 7 of us there this time.

I brought the scarf to knit on and didn't finish it there either.

The scarf is for Jalene and I just told her I was making it for her

and would bring it finished next week.

She was pleased to say the least!!

(I finished it at home this afternoon)

Mikie surprised me with a blanket she knitted for me.

She knows red is my favorite color.

Isn't it beautiful!!

It's been snowing all afternoon and is supposed to continue

through the night.

Might be an inside walking day tomorrow.

Sure is nice having a nice warm cozy house on days like this.

Hope this Saturday finds you having a wonderful day.

Thanks for stopping by.

ABC Friday

 18 degrees and cloudy this morning but no wind

so it didn't seem that cold.

Sunrise 7:28

I had 3 books to bring to the library to drop down the slot

so walked there first.

Then continued walking around down and back behind 

our old house in town.

Also walked around the ball park loop and both of the cemeteries.

There was just snow and no ice so it wasn't slippery.

Spotted some tracks in the snow of deer, rabbits, and I think a raccoon.

Didn't see any people about town.

Just the usual cars, trucks, and buses.

So glad I was able to walk outside after having to stay inside yesterday.

☁️    ☃️   🎄

I made us French toast when I got home for breakfast.

Two other new birds have been at the feeder today.

 A bunch of House Finches and a Cardinal.

One of the stitching ladies from the library has been trying

to knit a Sophie Scarf for herself and not having much luck with it.

She really wants one so I'm going to surprise her and make one for her.

Started it this afternoon and hoping to finish it by the end of the day.

Would like to give it to her tomorrow.

MY ABC'S

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Sometimes pictures, sometimes just words but it will be something about me.

L is for Lunch

I thought about library for the letter L but since you

all know how much I like the library decided to go with a different word.

Lunch is our mid day meal and one I look forward to.

My favorite Lunch when I was a kid was like a lot of kids

a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

When I was in grade school I lived close enough to come

home for lunch.

My mom was at work so most days I would make a PB&J for lunch.

(Hard to imagine in this day and age that a kid comes

home and makes lunch for themselves)

I must admit it is still one of my favorite lunches.

Another favorite lunch is Nachos which Ken makes for me.

Other Lunches I like.

Baked potato and salad

Sweet Potato

Grilled cheese 

Though I don't usually like leftovers (there's another L word)

the ones I do like are

Pizza

Roasted Vegetables

Tuna Casserole or mac and cheese.

It sure was nice to see some sunshine this afternoon.

Hope your Friday was a happy one.

Thanks for dropping by.

Mari - Our little library in town does have a good selection of DVD's.  They don't have all the seasons of the shows but you can reserve them and they will get what you want from other libraries.  Same thing with books. They have even gone out of state to get me a book that I wanted.  We have a great library!!!!
