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

Friday

Another morning, another walk.
This time the temperature was 42 degrees with clear skies.
The sun came over the mountain just as I was finished walking.

Starting out in the dark.


 

Walked up and down the main road and a few side streets.
This week is Autumn Glory in the county with parades, 
Yard Sales, and Craft shows going on.
People were at the fire house setting up for the craft show there
for today and tomorrow.

From there I walked the main road back towards home.
Made a detour up and down Sale Barn Road.



The cow looked right at me so took her picture


By the time I got back to town I had walked all my steps.

Though I have all my recipes neatly in a binder, 
I still have some to print out so they will all be uniform.
I'm printing them out in large type making them
nice and easy to read when I'm following the directions.
So I got a some of that done today and 
then just puttered about the house.

Always find some time for reading and knitting too.

Pizza night has rolled around again and the dough is 
rising now and Ken will be making the pizza any time now.


Hope your day was sunny and bright.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
HappyK🙂❤️

Debby - The oldest gravestone I've come across is for James Drane in 1828 and is in the cemetery on the hill.

Puzzles

 

51 degrees this morning.
A mix of sun and clouds and then mostly sunny.

Had to go get my blood drawn for lab work this morning.
Convenient because the doctors office is right across the 
street from the pond.
You can go any time between 6 and 9.
So I got to town at 6:20, had my blood drawn
and then went walking.
There was no one else there and I was in and out in no
more than five minutes.
I saw Ken get there a half hour later and he had to wait
for one other person so I waited with him and then
continued on my walk.

Walked all around town, up and down side streets and
all of my usual loops.

Haven't taken any pictures of the chickens and roosters for a while.
I think there are 3 roosters there now.
They sure crow loudly.



Walked around in the cemetery that is along the new road loop.
Saw these interesting grave stones with pictures chiseled in the stone.




This one I thought was unusual looking.


I saw Rebecca just starting her walk again 
as I was leaving town.

🌤️    🙂    🍁    🐓

Another one of those beautiful sunny days.

Got the last of this weeks house cleaning done.

The 4 puzzles we ordered came in the mail today.
Now we just have to wait for the first snowfall.
(If we can wait that long!)


Having one of my favorite meals for supper.
Roasted Sausage and  Vegetables.
It is in the oven right now.

Hope your day was filled with happiness.
Thank you for taking the time to visit.
HappyK 🙂❤️

And the sun took a step back, 
the leaves lulled themselves to sleep, 
and Autumn was awakened.
