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

Muffins and Doily

 It was such a nice morning for taking a walk.
The temperature was 58 degrees, sunny and no wind.
A little fog around at first but it was quickly gone.


Walked around each cemetery once.
Picked up a couple books out of the Jeep and dropped
them off at the library.

Then up and down a few side streets and over to the industrial park
and walked around in there.

David has applied for a job at Garrett Container Systems
here in the industrial park.
Would be most thankful if you would say a prayer 
that all goes well and he gets the job.
It has great hours, good pay and benefits, and is so close.


Walked back through town and to the pond.

Nice old tractor


As I was walking in town a man stopped in a pickup truck
and asked if I had seen a German Shepherd puppy 
with a cone around it's neck.
Sorry I had to tell him no.
Took his number and looked during the rest of my walk but
never did see the dog.

😊    🥾    🐕    ☀️

Didn't go to the library for stitching this morning.
Everyone had other things to do today.

I stayed home and baked blueberry muffins.
I added more blueberries than the recipe called for.
Our Pastor loves anything with blueberries in it so 
I thought I'd take him a couple tomorrow.


I finished knitting that doily I started yesterday.
I'm going to make one more.





Hope you all had a wonderful Saturday.
Thanks for coming by.

Diana - Yes, 800 Words was set in New Zealand. :)

NanaDiana - Yes, they do the duck Jeep thing around here as well.  I have one duck that was put on my door.  I keep it here in the Jeep.

Knitting

The temperature when I walked this morning was 70 degrees.
There was a nice breeze and a mix of sun and clouds.


Around both of the cemeteries a couple of times was where I went first.
Then it was back down the main road towards home,
turned around and went back to town.


 Stopped at the Jeep and picked up a DVD and on my way to the
ball park made a detour to the library and put the DVD down the slot.
We just finished watching all 3 seasons of
800 Words
which we thought was pretty good.

Continued walking over to the ball park and around there a couple of times.
Walking back to the pond finished my walk.

I met a man while walking, his name is Gordon.
I've seen him out in his yard and he has waved to me 
driving by while I've been walking.
Today he has started walking. 🙂


It was a delightful morning and so nice to be out walking.

I started a new knitting project this afternoon
using white cotton yarn. 
It is supposed to be a wash cloth but when it's done it looks
like a doily so that is what I'm using it for.
I've made one before and want to knit 2 more of them.
It's a bit complicated but fun to do.
I haven't made it for a while and had to figure out a couple of
the stitches that I forgot how to do.
I ripped it out two times and this third time I finally got it.
Here's what I've done so far.


Happy to say it's just about pizza time.
I'm really hungry and looking forward to Ken's pizza.🍕

Hope your Friday was a happy one.
Thanks for coming by.

When you rise in the morning, 
give thanks for the light, 
for your life, 
for your strength. 
Give thanks for your food 
and for the joy of living. 
If you see no reason to give thanks, 
the fault lies in yourself.
