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 last two cards

A cool 37 degrees this morning when I walked but there was no wind and it was sunny. 

Walked around the lower cemetery first and then back down the road towards home for a ways.
Turned around and walked back through town to the DG Market where I again turned around.
Continued up and down some side streets while heading back to the pond.


Then up the hill to the cemetery and around that loop a few times.
Back down the hill and to the Jeep.

Very quiet around town again and no one else out walking.

Finished up a few chores around the house this morning.

Cool and windy this afternoon so we stayed inside.
I had a dozen diamond art cards to do and finished up the last two of them today.
They were really fun to do and now I'll have to get a new diamond art project to do.


Sure looking forward to our homemade pizza for supper this evening.
Dough just about done rising so Ken will be making the pizza in just a little while.

That's all for this post.
Hope you had a wonderful day.
Thanks for stopping by.

Chrissy - No, I don't plan out meals for each day.  I've tried that but a lot of times the meal I've planned for that day we don't feel like eating. The exception is pizza on Friday. So I just make a list of all the meals we could have during the week and then we pick a meal we feel like eating.

A tree comes down

Started out cloudy, a slight breeze and 44 degrees.
Walked around both of the cemeteries.
Didn't go over to see the cows because hay bales were being taken over to the long barn and I didn't want to get in the way.


Stopped at the Jeep and picked up a DVD and then walked to the library and put it down the book drop.

Continued walking all around town and over to the ball park and walked that loop.

Always enjoy seeing what the chickens are up to.
Today they all wanted to be on the old tires.


The short path behind the park.


By the end of my walk the sun was shining brightly.



Another day of not seeing anyone else out walking.
It seems neither rain nor shine will get people out walking lately.
Everyone sure missed a beautiful morning.

A good day for getting some laundry done and out on the line.๐Ÿงบ

Then we went out front and got another tree cut down.
A little nervous cutting this one down because if it went the wrong way it would have landed on the house.
We had ropes tied to trees and as Ken cut, I pulled on a rope and the tree fell exactly where Ken planned.
Years ago my step-dad taught Ken how to cut down a tree to make it fall where you want it too. 
I had lots of branches to add to my brush fence which it getting pretty high.

After lunch the wind picked up again and we were glad we got the tree down in the morning.
Tried to sit outside and read this afternoon but it was just a bit too chilly.
Perfect weather for working but not just sitting.
So back inside to read.

Taco Salad's for supper tonight which we will be eating in just a bit.

That's it for today.
Hope you had a happy sunny day.
Thanks for stopping by.
