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

Cloud

The rain stopped just as I was leaving the house this morning.
There was a mix of sun and clouds when I walked.
65 degrees.
Sunrise 6:23

Went walking around the cemeteries first.


 A walk down to the long barn revealed that all the cows are gone.
Thinking that the barn is going to get cleaned out and ready
for the cows later this year.


Headed back to the cemetery down this way.




From the cemeteries I walked over to the ball park and walked around there.
Continued up and down side streets on my way back to the pond.

Anna and Mark were out walking again.

As I left for the library this morning for Stitching
it started raining and boy did it rain.
Came down in sheets.
I waited in the Jeep in the parking lot till it let up and then
ran into the library.
A half hour later the sun was out!!

There were seven of us there this time.
Didn't bring the blanket I'm knitting because there is a lot of
counting to do and knew I'd mess up!!
So I made some weave-its which are easy to do and still talk. ๐Ÿ™‚

Read some more this afternoon.
You may not believe this but it was too chilly! sitting on the porch
so came back inside to read.

My next project is going to be getting my spice drawer
more organized.
I've ordered 4 oz glass spice jars with shaker tops and plan
on putting the spices in them.
The jars should arrive on Wednesday.

That's all for this post.
Hope you had a wonderful day.
Thanks for coming by.

Farm Loop Walk

 

I walked under cloudy skies this morning.
The temperature was 68 degrees..

Walked around the farm loop this time.
Just off the main road here.


Coming up to Farmer Bill's place.


This is looking back at the barn from the other side 
and from another road I turned up.


I see he has planted some Indian Corn.


When I got to the school I walked on the path behind there
and then down the hill and back to the pond parking lot.

Quiet around the loop and didn't see anyone else out.
This is a nice loop to walk because I don't have to do any
back tracking.

I got the bedroom windows washed inside and out first thing after breakfast.
I wanted to get it over with.
A little bit later
 Ken helped me with the kitchen windows.
He washed the outside on the ladder.

I was going to read a chapter in my book and then knit
but kept reading and never did any knitting.
Read right up to the time I had to make the pizza dough.

Hope your Friday was delightful.
Thanks for stopping by.
