A Frosty Morn

It was a frosty morning with a temperature of 37 degrees when I arrived in town for my morning walk at 6:30.

Another clear morning with lots of stars.

There was a mist hanging over the pond and a couple of places had foggy patches.

Once the sun rose and came over the mountain it was sunny.

Walked up and down the main street in town andand some side roads and made a stop at the library to drop off a DVD.

Then around the cemetery on the hill.

As I walked around it a few times one bull in the Drane house pasture stood perfectly still watching me.

I went down to the fence to talk to him and take his picture.  

He never did move but as I talked to him his ears moved around a lot.

Walking down from the cemetery here.

Next I walked back down the road towards home a ways, turned around and lastly walked around the other cemetery.

Got all my steps in without walking around the ball park.

Didn't see anyone else out.

We left the house after breakfast to do a few errands down in Oakland.

Put our voting ballots in the drop off box.

Next stop was Lowe's.

While Ken got some pipe I went and looked at the washing machines.

Though mine is still working if noisily it won't last much longer.

I found the one that looked the simplest without any bells and whistles. (Amana)

Reviews aren't so great though.

Stopped for gas and then before getting home went to the library to pick up a book I reserved. 

The White Robin by Miss Read.  

It wasn't in any library in MD, so it came in the mail from out of state from Allentown, PA.

How nice that Connie went the extra mile to get the book for me.

It comes with a warning - no renews and if it is lost or damaged the fine could be $75 or higher!!!

My book club met today but I didn't go.

Didn't read the book.

After lunch I baked a white cake with vanilla icing.

It was a box cake but I made the icing.

Usually make chocolate icing with a white cake so will see how this goes.

Cake instead of ice cream tonight.

Also made Sweet and Sour Cucumbers to go with the hot dogs we had for supper.

Went for another walk in the woods.

Happy Thursday and thank you for stopping by.

Wednesday

Clear this morning and saw a whole sky full of stars - so pretty.

By 6:25 I was in town and walking.

47 degrees with a bit of a breeze.

Sunrise 7:22

Got to walk in the light and sun for a little while.

Didn't see any people about, maybe they are waiting till later when the sun is full out.

Had my usual walk all over town and the two cemeteries and the ball park loop.

Took this picture from the cemetery of the Drane house.  

You can barely see two pumpkins by the door.

Farmer Marvin has started cutting down the corn.

The corm from these fields are used for chicken feed.

The chickens are usually scattered all over the yard.

Today they are huddled together.

Nice to be out walking on a crisp Fall morning.

☀️     🍁     🙂     🎃

Another load of laundry got hung out on the line. 

Won't be long before I won't be able to do that anymore this year and will be hanging them on my drying rack over a heating vent inside.

Did the usual house chores and then it was lunch time.

Another beautiful sunny day and went outside after lunch.

I collected more rocks and put them in the dry brook I'm making.  

It's coming along nicely but still have lots more rocks to put in it.  

Finding rocks is certainly NO problem.  

They seem to grow and multiply here.

After I got tired of doing that I went off for a walk in the woods.  

Walking along it is hard to believe that all this woods is ours.

Ever since I was a little girl and went walking in the woods back then I always dreamed of having my house in the woods.

Supper this evening was chili and I didn't have to cook it.

The crock pot I made of it Monday makes three meals!!

Two down and more meal to go.

Hope you all had a great Wednesday.

Thanks for stopping by.

HappyK🙂
