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 Nice Walk around the Farm Loop

Sunrise 6:25
I had such a nice walk around the farm loop this morning.
It was a cloudy morning, with a temperature of 56 degrees and no wind.


At Farmer Bill's farm the donkeys came over to the fence when I called them.
They are very friendly.
I talked to them a bit, gave them a pet, and wished them a happy day before moving on.


 Just a bit down the road I saw Farmer Bill out walking his dog.

This farm house looks abandoned now.
Don't know the names of the people who lived there but used to see them and wave when I walked by.
I'll have to ask around town and see what's up.


This is the barn across the street.


Farther up the road is another farm.
Used to see milk cows there but today there were just bulls in the pasture.
They all started walking towards me and eventually ended up at the fence.  
This picture came out better then the one I took of them by the fence.


Also at the farm a cat meowed at me and I stopped to take a picture.


Along the route George drove passed and stopped to say hi.

Then back at the pond at the end of my walk I saw Rebecca and Leo.

It sure was a nice walk.

Six of us at the library this morning for stitching.
2 knitters
1 embroiderer  
and 3 of us crocheting.
I've learned the double crochet and still making my little sample piece.
Maybe some time this week I'll start making something.

Here's the Cable Knit Pillow I made.
If your want to see the pattern it is on my MadeByKaren blog.



I left the library with 2 books and 3 DVD's

Was hoping it would be nice out so I could go outside but it was raining so stayed in side and puttered about.

The pizza dough is rising now so Ken will be making pizza in just a little while.
Seems like Friday because we usually have our pizza then.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Sure hope you had a wonderful day.
HappyK 😊

Another day another walk

Another delightful morning for walking.
Today it was 58 degrees, sunny, and no wind.


Walked around both of the cemeteries first thing.


Then it was over to the ball park to walk around the loop there.
The chickens were all sitting around on two old tires.

Continue walking toward the DG Market but turned in another street before I got there.
Then just walked around town up and down the side streets and the main road.

John out walking his dog Prim.
It's nice to see others out walking too.

😊    🥾    🌤 

Day number two at church doing Fingerprints.
Another good turn out and we got 9,352 Romans books ready for shipment.
We do this every third Thursday and Friday of the month.

On the way home we stopped at a DG Market (not the one in town) and bought some inexpensive flower pots.
The two African Violets that Connie from the library gave me at least a year ago and probably longer are huge now and need to be divided.
They have been blooming the whole time!!!
Didn't feel like doing that when we got home though so that job will be for another day.

I sewed my cable knit pillow together after stuffing it with polyfiil and I'm pleased with how it turned out.
Didn't take a picture but will and then post it with the pattern on my MadeByKaren blog, probably tomorrow.

It's been another busy day but a good one.
Hope you had a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by.
HappyK🙂
