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

Made my way over to the library and put a
DVD and book down the drop.

Continued through town and up and down some side streets
as I walked over to the industrial park and walked around there.


Then back through town to the pond.


Walk wasn't quite finished yet so went around one of the cemeteries
a couple of times.

Didn't see anyone else out today.

It was a cloudy morning, 62 degrees, and no wind.
Sunrise 6:27

😊    ☁️    🧢

It looked like rain but it wasn't supposed to so I did a couple
of loads of laundry.
Glad I did because the sun eventually came out.

I had a few bananas that were no longer in prime eating condition
so I made some
Banana Nut Muffins.


Ken is working on a new section on his train layout.
Come winter on those days I have to walk in the basement
there will be some new pictures to post!! 🚂

We picked some really nice tomatoes out of the garden
and will be having BLT's for supper in just a little. while.

Thanks for stopping by.
Hope you had a wonderful day.

Ginny - The spices in the new jars are already in alphabetical order.  Just didn't have enough new jars for all the spices.  Other spices there are more than would fit in a jar.

Spices

 More thunderstorms overnight bringing LOTS of rain.
This morning when I walked it was just cloudy.
The temperature was 65 and a bit windy.

Walked first around the cemeteries.
Someone left a Good Morning message on the mirror where I usually do.
Nice to see others doing it too.
I'm pretty sure it was John.

The bulls are back once again in the pasture by the Drain house.
They looked comfortable there among the cow parsley.


The little stream behind the ball park where I walked next was
pretty full and muddy.


Walked some more around town and finally back to the pond.

Farmer Marvin was driving up the road to the cemetery on
his was to the long barn and I stopped him.
It was his birthday on Sunday and I wanted to wish him a
Belated Happy Birthday.🎂
He told me that another one of the bulls have been sold.
The bull will be picked up next week and taken to Waco, Texas.

Rebecca was also out walking this morning.

Todays my project was getting the spice draw straightened up.

This is the spice bottles and labels.
24 bottles


Spice drawer before.


Drawer with the new bottles filled.
I could use a few more bottles.


Besides doing that I finished up most of this weeks house cleaning,
knitted and read too.

Hope you all had a wonderful day.
Thanks for coming by.
HappyK🙂
