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

Blankets for Babies

38 degrees with clouds and a little blue sky and sun once the sun rose at 7:30. 

Thought this looked a bit unusual with the fog at the bottom, and the layer above of clouds and some blue sky.

Walked up and down the main road and some other streets in down, same streets as every day but in a different order.
Both cemeteries and the ball park I walked around too.

Rebecca was out this morning with Leo.

I've never seen this before.
An eye ball on the side of a house that turns different colors every few seconds.
Also saw it turn green and and blue.

After breakfast it was time to go to church for Babies for Blankets.
We went together and Ken drove the truck.
He dropped me off and then went and did a few errands around Oakland.
Then he loaded up the church trailer with the Romans books that are all boxed up.
Tomorrow we will bring them to Bedford, Pa and pick up the next pallet of scriptures.
The trailer came home with us so we can leave right from the house in the morning.

Blankets went well and there was 9 of us there this time.
Denise brought the food and I did the devotions.
It was kind of sad without Sandy but she would be happy that we will continue this Ministry that she started.

Many of you know that we cannot give the blankets to the babies in the hospital anymore because they are from a church.
Well we now go directly to the doctors and they have been giving them out to the mothers when they come to the doctors office.  
It is working out great and so far every one has taken a blanket with thanks.

They each get a gift bag with the blanket, a letter inviting them to our church if they don't have one of their own and a few other little items. 



This afternoon we framed My Father's Promises counted cross stitch I made.
You can see it HERE.

We ended up having a nice sunny day though it was a little chilly.

Happy Thursday and thanks for stopping by.

Wednesday

34 degrees this morning and cloudy when I got to town at 6:30 and started walking.
Didn't see anyone else out around town.


Walked up and down the main road and most of the side streets.
A couple of loops around the ball park and both of the cemeteries.

Passing by the pond I see that the geese have come back.


The field behind the upper cemetery is getting cut down.
Did you spot the geese flying off to the right?

Ken made cheese omelets this morning for our breakfast.
Then I got to work doing my housework for the day and was done by lunchtime.

The man came today and measured the apron of the driveway for the paving we want to have done and will give us an estimate this week.
Said he would try to fit us in this year but couldn't promise. 
It sure would be nice to have it done before it snows - will make plowing and shoveling so much easier.

I took everything off my hutch, gave it a good dusting and put different things on it.
Now my yellow and red FiestaWare are being displayed which are nice Fall colors.

Read some this afternoon till it was time for supper.
Took chili out of the freezer for supper this evening.
Seemed like a good choice for this dreary cool day.

Hope you enjoyed your Wednesday and thanks for stopping by.
HappyK🙂

Ellen - Yes, you're right, my walking every morning does make my whole day more organized.  The rare days I don't walk nothing seems right.🙂
