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

In and out today

A sunny morning and 44 degrees with just a slight breeze makes for a great walk.

Walked around both of the cemeteries to begin.

The dogwood tree is not quite in full bloom but thought it looked pretty against the blue sky.


In this photo I liked the post shadows on the path.


The fields by the cemeteries have all been plowed and ready for planting.
Usually corn is planted but some years soy beans are planted.
Will have to wait and see what this years crop will be.


From the cemeteries I walked over to the ball park and around there a couple of times, then around town till I my pedometer vibrated which is my single to head back to the Jeep.

The chickens hadn't been let of their coop yet when I walked past, but they were at the door and the rooster was crowing.

Quiet around town and didn't see any people or activity.
It was a happy sunny walk. πŸ™‚☀️

🧒    🚢‍♀️    🌷

Did a bunch of house work chores in the morning and after lunch we headed outside.

We bought a hedge trimmer to use for cutting down the sticker bushes around Happy Trails and both of us tried it out for the first time today.
It works pretty good for what we bought it for.
It is battery operated and a gas one would work better but this one is light enough for me to handle too.
It works better than a weed trimmer because of all the things it kicks up and throws around.
Another thing, we don't have to deal with is the string that keeps breaking!!
I spend more time fiddling with that string than working.


I think I planted the seeds way too early.
They were getting too big to keep in the cups I planted them in.
So even though there is still a danger of frost we planted them outside anyway today.
We can always cover them if we get frost.

I divided one of my two African Violets from one and got four plants.
I'm leaving the one alone encase these 4 don't make it.


It's been a busy and productive day.
Easy supper tonight, hotdogs and baked beans.

Hope you enjoyed your Monday and thanks for stopping by.

Sunday

 Happy Sunday

A foggy morning walk today.


Sunrise walking up to the cemetery earlier this week.


Sunset from the front porch a few days ago.

This is one of the hymns we sang at church this morning.
I have many favorites and this is one of them.

🎢 Grace Greater Than Our Sin 🎢
Words Julia H Johnston
Music Daniel B Towner

1. Marvelous grace of our loving Lord,
grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt,
yonder on Calvary's mount out-poured,
there where the blood of the Lamb was spilt.

Refrain:
Grace, grace, God's grace,
grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
Grace, grace, God's grace,
grace that is greater than all our sin.

2. Sin and despair like the sea waves cold,
threaten the soul with infinite loss,
Grace that is greater, yes, grace untold,
points to the refuge, the mighty cross. 

3. Dark is the stain that we cannot hide,
what can avail to wash it away?
Look! there is flowing a crimson tide;
whiter than snow you may be today. 

4. Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
freely bestowed on all who believe;
all who are longing to see His face,
will you this moment His grace receive? 


A Blessed Sunday to you.

Ginny - No, I don't know the names of the donkeys.  I didn't see the two horses out yesterday but I do know the names of them,  Faith and Grace.
