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

Outside and sunshine

No snow this morning and 23 degrees.
Would have been a good day for walking in town but now the problem is
that in town there are no good places to walk.
No one shovels their sidewalks and the snow is too deep to walk around
the cemeteries and the ball park.

 I walked part of my walk inside this morning.

Then I finished up the house work for the week.
There was a nice sturdy table down in the basement that I cleaned
up and brought upstairs to use for a sewing table.
I put it next to my desk in the office right under the window.
Now I wish I had bought the sewing machine yesterday.


After lunch I walked down the driveway while Ken was clearing it again
with the tractor.


Then I continued walking and went up the lane.


Stopped here to take a picture.
That is town off in the distance.


This is at the top of the lane.


I walked up and down the lane a few times.

Look at this, we even had blue sky and sunshine.


What a joy to be out walking in the snow with the sun shining
and the temperature was a warm 24 degrees.
And Yes that did seem warm!

Read some this afternoon and for supper we had
Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, and Broccoli.

Hope your Friday was a good one and thanks for stopping by.

Winter Continues . . . .

 Our winter weather continues . . . . .
Inside walking again.

Didn't have to go to blankets for babies because it was
cancelled because of the snow.
I did finish the blanket for this month though and
you can see how it turned out if your care to look

I'll either bring it with me to church or just wait until next month
and bring 2 blankets.

We went out this morning anyway and went to Walmart.
Before getting the food, walked around the rest of the store.
I don't have a sewing machine and I'm thinking about learning how
to sew quilt squares and making simple table runners.
My Needlework friends said that a Brother was a good machine to start with.
Looked at sewing machines and a simple Brother machine was only $88.
Didn't buy it today but probably will.
For that price it is a good one to learn on.

Also came across these candles.
I don't like fruity scents but love this fresh pine scent so picked
up three of them on sale.
They have a nice strong scent and I can smell them even without lighting it.


Finished the puzzle.
It was a pretty easy one.
I wouldn't mind living there.


  Couldn't wait for tomorrow for our pizza so made it for supper today.

Hope everyone enjoyed their day.
Thanks for stopping by.

How many lessons of faith and beauty we should lose, 
if there were no winter in our year.

What good is the warm of summer, 
without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.
