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

A Robin

54 degrees this morning and it was mostly sunny with a few clouds.

Today I walked around the farm loop route.
Some pictures along the way.


Took the road on the left up ahead.




It must really be spring now because the fountain in the pond has been turned back on.


I saw this Robin sitting here in the gutter along the main road not moving.
Got close and took a picture and it never moved.
It must have flown into a car or truck and just got stunned.
The birds out by the feeder at the house fly into the window sometimes and get stunned like that and they just fly off after a while.

I went to the library this morning to meet the ladies in the stitching group.
It was only me and Jalene there this week.
Started out with her crocheting and me knitting but we soon put that aside and just had a very nice visit!!

After lunch I went outside again to stack more branches and limbs on the brush fence.
Ken still has another tree to take down.

Sat on the porch for a little while and then I went inside and knitted.
Working on the cable stitch pillow.
Won't be long now before I'm finished with it.

Thanks for coming by.
Hope you had a delightful day.

Connie - About the pennies.  They stopped making them in 2025.  There are between 114 billion and 300 billion pennies still out there. You can still use them but they are being fazed out.  Some stores are rounding to the nearest nickel now.
It costs 3.7 cents to make a penny.

A beautiful sunny day

54 degrees this morning.
Mostly cloudy with a little sun.
Not much wind.
Sunrise 6:36

First walked around both of the cemeteries and then walked back down the road I just drove for a ways before turning around and going back to town.

Walked through town, over to the ball park and around there.
Then it was back to the Jeep and home.

As I walked down the road a truck driver was parked just outside of town checking some things on his truck before leaving town and I felt a nudge to go over to him and hand him a gospel tract.
I walked over to him and said, here's a gospel track for you.  
(It was like the one below)
He took it and smiled and said I know and I thank Him every day and He loves you too.  We talked a little bit and he was going to hand the tract back to me and I told him to pass it along.  He said I'll do that and I continued my walk.


Driving home I realized I didn't take any pictures so took a couple on the way home.
Turned on this street from the main road.


Then turned down here and I live at the end of the road.

Ended up having a nice sunny day in the mid 70's and a little breeze.
Perfect weather for drying clothes out on the line so I did.

I baked a cake.๐ŸŽ‚
A white one with chocolate icing.
The cake was from a mix but I made the icing.
I baked the cake in two 8 inch square pans.
Put one of them in the freezer for another time.
I'll have a piece of cake instead of ice cream this evening.

This afternoon Ken cut dead tree down out front and I piled branches on the brush fence.

Sat on the porch to cool off and then came inside and made the pizza dough.๐Ÿ•

It's been another good day and for that I am thankful. 
Hope you found the good in your day too.
Thanks for stopping by.

John - I have no problem with not having pennies any more.  I do have a lot of them from my walks though as well as lots of other coins too. ๐Ÿ™‚
