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

Sunday

Happy Sunday

A sunset from one day last week.


A hymn we sang at church this morning.

🎶Take the Name of Jesus With You🎶

1. Take the name of Jesus with you,
Child of sorrow and of woe;
It will joy and comfort give you;
Take it then where'er you go.

Refrain:

Precious name, oh how sweet!
Hope of Earth and joy of Heav'n.
Precious name, oh how sweet!
Hope of Earth and joy of Heav'n.
Words Lydia Baxter
Music Willlilam H Doane

2. Take the name of Jesus ever,
As a shield from ev'ry snare;
If temptations round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer. 

3. Oh! the precious name of Jesus,
How it thrills our souls with joy,
When his loving arms receive us,
And his songs our tongues employ. 

4. At the name of Jesus bowing,
Falling prostrate at his feet,
King of kings in Heav'n we'll crown him,
When our journey is complete.

📖Acts 5:22📖
And daily in the temple, and in every house, 
they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

A Blessed Sunday to you.

The Unlikely Yarn of the Dragon Lady

 No rain today, just cloudy.
55 degrees with a slight breeze.
Walked around both of the cemeteries first.
Saw a sign down by the Drane house so went down there to see what it said.


From there I walked through town over to and around the industrial park.
Back through town and to the Jeep.

Saw the first blooming tree of spring.
Anise Magnolia


Another quiet early morning in town.
I'm really surprised I haven't seen people out walking!
Weather nice and it's not dark.

☁️    🙂    ☁️

Only three of us at the library again for Needleworks.

I started reading a book
The Unlikely Yarn of the Dragon Lady 
by Sharon J. Mondragon

It's about 4 women who meet each week to knit prayer shawls.
At the back of the book is a pattern to make one.
I started knitting that this morning at the library.

Mia, the librarian thought we all would like the book so ordered it for the library.
Mikie read it and liked it and so far I like it too.
Jalene is next on the list to read it.

Knitted a bit more on the shawl when I got home but messed it up
somehow and had to rip the whole thing out.
Will try again another day.

That's it for today.
Hope your Saturday was a good one.
Thanks for stopping by.
🙂HappyK❤️

Eileen - That wasn't forsythia in yesterdays picture.  It is dead ornamental grass.  Must be the lighting in the picture to make it look like that.
