Drizzle

A light misty drizzly walk this morning around town.

48 degrees and no wind.

Sunrise 6:45 but didn't see any hint of the sun.

Walked up and down the main road in town up and town all the side streets.

 Then it was over to the ball park and walked around there a couple of times.

There are now 16 chickens and the rooster and they were all out in the yard.

I noticed the addition of two brown chickens.

Got a picture of one of them there on the left.

Very quiet around town and didn't see any one else out.

As you can see all of our snow is now gone except for piles like this in parking lots.

I walked a round the lower cemetery once and by that time had all my steps in so didn't make it around the other cemetery.

Didn't have my rain pants and coat on so was on the damp side by the time I was done walking.

Weather report on my phone said no rain till afternoon but the misty drizzly rain had already started when I left the house.

🌧    🥾    😊

After getting a load of wash on the drying rack we left to go food shopping at Walmart.

Last week we had just picked up a few things so had a lot to get this week.

Got home put everything away and had lunch.

This afternoon I cleaned the rest of the living room, did my exercise (BodyElectric)

and then it was time for a little reading and knitting.

Tonights supper is spaghetti and a salad.

Simple but good.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by.

Hope your Wednesday was a super one.

Deb - We have a furnace that uses propane for the house.  The gas stove is a bonus.  Just nice to have it for the cozy look.  We tried heating the house with it but it is just too hot.  The living room gets super hot and the bedroom and office are too cold.  It is great to have when the power goes off!

Picocolina - Hello and welcome.  Thanks for leaving a comment.😊 

Sprucing up the mantel

Got dressed this morning for a rainy walk.

Opened the garage door and saw that the driveway was a sheet of ice.

I could have ice skated down it.

So back in the house I went and had to walk in the basement.

It warmed up later in the day and the ice melted and we just had rain but by that time I had gotten all my steps walked inside.

This morning I gave the hearth and and mantel a thorough cleaning and put different things on the mantel.

I wanted to put only white objects on the mantel so walked around the house and found some.  

It is like going shopping in your house. 🙂

The stove is gas and the pots and kettle are just for decoration.

I could cook on it but the stove throws off so much heat by the time whatever was cooking was done it would 90 degrees in the house!!!

The afternoon was spent reading The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife by Anna Johnston which I'm thoroughly enjoying. 

Mistaken identity puts Frederick living Bernards life in a nursing home.

Making hamburgers and tater tots for supper so better get them started.

Thanks for popping in for a vist and hope you had a wonderful Tuesday.

GrannyM - The woodpecker that made those holes in the tree is a pileated woodpecker.  We had what we usually get at Brenda's a cheese pizza.
