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

Walking in the dark

 It was cloudy this morning when I walked.
44 degrees, (20 degrees colder than yesterday)
 cloudy, windy and sunrise was 7:29.

Walked all around town in the dark.



When it got light enough


I continued to the ball park and around there.
Then the new road loop,
and finally the upper cemetery.

Saw Rebecca out walking 2 different times.

No chickens out this time, all still in their coop probably keeping warm.

Didn't walk over to the long barn but I heard the cows mooing loudly.
They must be protesting having to be in the barn after
roaming around the pastures all summer.

Lots of activity at the church as they get ready for their 
yearly bazaar being held today.
There is food, crafts, and donated yard sale type items. 
(No, we didn't go)

๐Ÿ™‚    ☁️    ๐Ÿ 

๐ŸงถStitching morning at the library so headed over there after breakfast.
There were 5 of us there this week.
(3 of the regulars were working at the bazaar)
I've started knitting a shawl.
Easy with no counting which is good for knitting and talking
at the same time. ๐Ÿ™‚
Picked up a DVD for Ken.
Trying a new series, hope it's better than the last couple we picked out.
The book club book was there for me too for next month.
The Stolen Life of Colette Marceau
by Kristin Harmel. 

After lunch Ken and I went to the dump to get rid of our garbage
and then stopped in at the Shop and Save to pick up a few things
to tide us over till Tuesday.
We never did make it out for food shopping this past week.

Continued knitting this afternoon and also read a little.
Turned out to be a sunny day and the temperature stayed in the 40's.

Hope you had a wonderful Saturday.
Always thankful for your visits and comments.

Windy

66 degrees this morning when I walked.
Very windy ๐Ÿ’จ with a little bit of rain when I started.
It soon stopped and was just cloudy but stayed very windy.
Lots of leaves coming down.

Another morning of walking all around town and up and
down most of the side streets. 

Phil was just finishing up his video when I passed by
and I stopped to talk for a bit.

Continued over to the cemetery up on the hill and walked
around there.


Passed by this other graveyard in someones front yard.


By the time I got back home the sun was coming out.
This is looking from the front of the garage.


๐Ÿ™‚    ๐Ÿ    ๐ŸŒฆ️    ๐Ÿ‚

Did a load of wash and got it hung out to dry.
We got some rain this afternoon but the clothes were all
all dried by the time the rain came.

Baked some more Oat Bran Muffins and this time put in
dried cranberries.

Finished up some work around the house in the morning.

Knitted on the throw blanket I'm making for myself.
It is the same pattern that I used for Ken's but blue.


Enjoyed last night with David and Liz.
We always have fun playing Mexican Train and I look forward to game night.
She made us a delicious supper of
Chicken Pasta Alfredo.
She left the leftovers with us.
Liz loved the pumpkin spice cake and she took the rest of that home.
(We all liked it but Liz loves anything pumpkin!)

๐Ÿ•I can't believe how fast Friday Pizza days come around.
It is in the oven now and we should be eating it very soon.

It's been another good day and for that I am thankful.
Hope you had a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by.
HappyK๐Ÿ™‚❤️
