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

Spices

 More thunderstorms overnight bringing LOTS of rain.
This morning when I walked it was just cloudy.
The temperature was 65 and a bit windy.

Walked first around the cemeteries.
Someone left a Good Morning message on the mirror where I usually do.
Nice to see others doing it too.
I'm pretty sure it was John.

The bulls are back once again in the pasture by the Drain house.
They looked comfortable there among the cow parsley.


The little stream behind the ball park where I walked next was
pretty full and muddy.


Walked some more around town and finally back to the pond.

Farmer Marvin was driving up the road to the cemetery on
his was to the long barn and I stopped him.
It was his birthday on Sunday and I wanted to wish him a
Belated Happy Birthday.๐ŸŽ‚
He told me that another one of the bulls have been sold.
The bull will be picked up next week and taken to Waco, Texas.

Rebecca was also out walking this morning.

Todays my project was getting the spice draw straightened up.

This is the spice bottles and labels.
24 bottles


Spice drawer before.


Drawer with the new bottles filled.
I could use a few more bottles.


Besides doing that I finished up most of this weeks house cleaning,
knitted and read too.

Hope you all had a wonderful day.
Thanks for coming by.

Mondays Post on Tuesday

Posting this post from Monday now because
we lost our internet when a thunderstorm came through
yesterday afternoon and we just got it back a little while ago.

This morning the temperature was 70 degrees.
It was cloudy and a bit windy.
The first cemetery I walked around the rabbit was on the path again.
I snapped this before he ran in the bushes.


Around the second cemetery I heard a clap of thunder and a few
large rain drops fell.
I thought oh boy I'd better head back to the Jeep.
By the time I got down the hill, the rain drops had stopped
and I didn't hear any more thunder.
Happy I was able to continue walking.

On the way to the ball park I spotted Karen washing the windows
at the post office so I stopped to say hi.
She cleans the post office lobby every day.

Walked around the ball park loop a couple of times and then
headed back to the parking lot going up and down some side streets.

Lisa was driving by and stopped to tell me she was on the way to
the hospital because her mom was having surgery.
I told her I would be praying for her.

First thing after breakfast we went to the dump to get rid of our trash.
Then stopped at the lumber yard in town.
Ken has been adding another part to his train layout and he needed
10 1 x 4's.
At Lowe's one board cost $10.60.
The same board at G&W in town cost $6.
Amazing the difference in price!!!!
Saved over $40!!

Once back home I got busy hanging up the sheets.
While outside finally got to take some red tomatoes in.
I didn't think they would ever turn red.
And oh boy are they ever tasty.
Picked a bunch of beans too.

Got some cleaning done during the rest of the morning.

I got some knitting done this afternoon.
Working on the blanket for the seniors.

For supper we were having meatloaf, baked potato, and corn on the cob.
We both were hungry before supper so we did something we’ve never done before.
We made the corn about 3:00 and ate it then.
Then later we ate the meatloaf and potato.

The spice bottles weren’t supposed to get here till Wednesday
but while we were eating supper they arrived!!

So you can guess what I’ll be doing tomorrow.
I might not get it all done in one day, but
yes, I will take pictures of the bottles and 
the before and after pictures.

Well it's tomorrow now.
I'll be posting another post for today later on.
