Outside this afternoon

Another cold clear morning with lots of stars.

33 degrees and calm.

Me and my shadow.

Walked all over town and up and down all the side streets.

Continued up to the cemetery.

Then over to the long barn.

The cows are back inside now.

They all started mooing when I arrived and made quite a racket.

These came over to me first

and then all of them came along.

 I'm sure they thought I was bringing them hay.

That came a little later when the tractor took some from 

here and brought it to them.

Rebecca was out walking Leo.

Saw them on my way down from the cemetery and they

were headed up that way.

🙂    🥾    🐄  

Another load of laundry out to dry this morning.

Then I baked some Chocolate Chippers.

RECIPE 

Did a very thorough dusting of the living room.

A beautiful sunny day in the 60's.

After lunch we went outside.

I picked up dead branches that the wind had taken down

and put them on the brush fence that I'm making.

Ken emptied the dirt out of our raised garden bed boxes 

and moved them because they need some repair work.

You might remember that during the summer one side of one

collapsed because it rotted out.

Late afternoon I still had a little time to do a little reading.

That's all for today.

Hope you had a sunshiny day.

Thanks for coming by.

Comment about the dark

33 degrees this morning and clear, millions of stars twinkling.

A sunny day once the sun rose.

Another walk all around town and all my regular loops.

Walking around the ball park loop here.

No chickens out, all staying warm in their coop though

I did hear one of the roosters crowing.

 Walking the new road loop here.

Still all empty lots.

Walking down from the cemetery here,

and here I'm at the other cemetery.

I can see both barns again now that the corn is cut down.

No one else out walking yet but did wave to the regulars in vehicles.

Saw the state trooper stopped and giving a ticket to a speeder!

As always it was great to be out walking first thing in the morning.

🙂   🌌    ☀️    🥾

Washed a load of clothes and my fingers were freezing by the

time I got all the wash hung up.

The clothes always smell extra good when it's cold out.

It did warm up to 60 later in the afternoon.

Did housework in the morning and that left the

afternoon for fun.

Didn't have any where to go today and it was so nice

to be home the whole day!!

Well I did make a quick trip to the library.

I finished reading Thin Ice by Paige Shelton which is the first

book in a 6 book series.

It ended with a cliff hanger so I looked up the next book,

Cold Wind and they had it in our library.

So I went and got it!!

Hope you had a wonderful day.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

HappyK❤️🙂

Quite a few comments were about me walking in the dark so I'm commenting on the comments. 🙂  I like to walk first thing in the morning.  I get up, get dressed, and I'm out the door.  If I want to do that I don't have any choice about walking in the dark.

I'd rather walk in the light and sunshine but don't mind walking in the dark.

If I waited till it was light out, knowing me I'd get doing something and put off the walk and never get around to it.

I'm never anxious or afraid in the dark.  It is perfectly safe in my little town and I walk under the street lights.  I don't listen to anything while walking and don't talk on my phone so am well aware of what is around me.  I know so many people in town so help is always close by. Besides, I never walk alone, God is with me every step of the way. 🙂

There is something quite special about watching the start of a new day coming alive.
