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 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™‚

Most of a penny

Mostly cloudy this morning with just a few peeks of sun.
Not so windy this time (at least not in the morning) and 60 degrees.
Sunrise 6:37


First I walked around the lower cemetery and then through town to the industrial park and walked all around in there.


Back through town and to the pond.

I found most of a penny.  This coin has seen better days!!


Rebecca was out walking Lea but she was far away and didn't even see me.

This morning I went to church for Blankets.
We don't just make baby blankets anymore but for seniors as well and pillows too.
Small crowd today, just 7 of us.
I handed in a weave-it pillow for the seniors.

Home for a late lunch.
We had the left over meatloaf from last night on sandwiches.

My new fanny pack came in the mail today.
I got it for when I go walking.
Just big enough to hold my phone, key, tissue, piece of gum, and pepper spray.


That's all I have for today.
Hope you had a wonderful Thursday.
Thanks for stopping by.
