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

Jigsaw Puzzles

Another one of those great mornings for walking.
62 degrees with sun and clouds and a nice breeze.
Sunrise was at 7:14.
Had to stop for a few deer crossing the road
just down the road from my house. 

Up and down the main road I walked to start.


Continued around both of the cemeteries and then headed
down the road towards home.
Made a detour up Sale Barn Road before heading back to town.

Didn't see anyone else out walking but did stop to talk
to Farmer Marvin.
Didn't see David drive by but this time I saw Liz.

I walked under such beautiful skies this morning.
Couldn't just post one picture!







🙂    🍁    🌤️    🎃

I baked Oat Bran Muffins again this morning.
This time blueberries went into them.


Most years we buy 4 new jigsaw puzzles to do during the winter
starting with the first snow fall.
(we get 4 because when you buy 3 you get the 4th one free)
We ordered our four for this year today on line from White Mountain.
That got me to thinking how many puzzles we actually have already.
I collected them all up and put them in stacks.
Some were in drawers, some were in an old truck, and others
in a cabinet.
They totaled 46 and with these 4 new ones we will have 50!!!



I'm going to leave them all here stacked in the bedroom and see how
many we can do this winter.
After doing one we will decide to keep it or give it away.
We will not buy any more till we have done every single puzzle!!

Happy that it is pizza day today.
Didn't even have to make the dough because made it last week and
I make two at a time.

That's it for today.
Thanks for stopping by and hope your day is a good one.

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🙂❤️
