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

Sunday

 Happy Sunday

What a difference walking this morning from yesterday.
Today it was 34 degrees and raining.

On the way to church this morning there was some snow mixed in with the rain.
By the time we got out of church it was still cold but the sun was shining.

🌧    🌧

I've mentioned that this month at church is gospel tract month.











Our Pastor calls a gospel tract the 'Little Preacher" and here are ten reasons he has given us why.

1. The gospel never stumbles over words or forgets important scriptures.
2. It can be given even during extremely brief encounters. 
3. It never gets sidetracked or caught up in an argument, just gives the message of salvation, plainly and clearly.
4. It is never intimidating or fearful.
5. It never is tempted to compromise the message of Christ.
6. It can wait on someone's door until they get home.
7. It can be left in public places and wait until someone's curiosity causes them to pick it up and read it.
8. It never gets tired and gives up.
9. It never gets discouraged or disheartened.
10. It will often speak over and over when read and reread, whereas our verbal witness is usually only heard one time.

A Blessed Sunday to you.

Ann - Good guess about why only two of us were at the library stitching but here are the reasons why: 
One was on vacation
One was on retreat
One had a wedding to go to
One was watching a grandchild play baseball
One was sick

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.
HappyK😊

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.
