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

The Bronco


31 degrees this morning went I walked in town.
It was a cloudy morning and very windy.
With the warm temperatures from yesterday we had quite a lot of melting going on.
Still can't walk around the cemeteries or the ball park though.

Walked all over town, up and down the side streets and just everywhere that was cleared. Most all the side streets are just about ice free now.

Not much going on in town and didn't see anyone.

You can once again tell that there is a pond.


  ☁️    💨    🥾    🙂

Got a slower cooker of chili going first this morning after breakfast.
Then did a bit of house cleaning.

We went out and about and did a few errands.

I'm already making a weave-it blanket, and knitting a couple pillows, and today started another throw blanket. 

David came by and asked if Ken would drive him to the dealership to pick up his Bronco!!  His Bronco is fixed, all under warranty and David is very happy!!! 😀 They had it in the shop since last Monday (Feb 2).
David is joining us to have some of that chili in the slow cooker for supper.  Having cornbread with it too.  I didn't make the corn bread.  I've tried some recipes but it never turns out that great.
After supper we are going to play Mexican Train.

Hope you had a wonderful Wednesday.
Thanks for coming by.

A pretty sunrise

Beautiful morning for walking today.
28 degrees, no wind, and a mix of sun and clouds.
Sunrise is now 7:15


Walked around town where I could without walking on ice or snow.
Made a stop at the library again and put another couple of books down the drop.

Then walked down the main road back towards home with a detour going up Sale Barn Road.


You can see the long barn in the picture on the right in the picture.


Then it was back up the road to town.
There was a flag man on the main road in town and one way traffic.
Work being done on the water pipes.


🌤    🥾    🙂

Food shopping 🛒 day at Walmart and we went first thing this morning.

Stopped at the library AGAIN and came home with more books and DVD's.
We would sure be lost without our town library. 📚

Put a bunch of chicken in the slow cooker.
Shredded it up to use in different meals.

We finished the latest puzzle 🧩 and I sewed another row of weave-it squares on to the baby blanket I'm making.
There are 7 squares to a row and I now have 4 rows done.  
There are a total of 10 rows.

Did a little reading too and now it's time to get supper.
Having chicken burritos with some of the chicken made in the slow cooker earlier.

Hope you had a wonderful Monday and thanks for coming by.
