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

A good turnout

Thanks to those who mentioned the font size.
Sounds like I got it right now. 😊
 
A misty rainy walk this morning.
Temperature 40 degrees and a bit windy.
Sunrise 6:03

On the way to town.


Started my walk going down the main road and up and down side streets.
Then to the ball park and walked that loop.
Up and down a few more side streets and back to the ball park
and walked around there again.

This time I spotted an escapee headed back home.


Continued back to the lower cemetery and around there to 
finish up my walk for today.

Not much activity in town on this rainy morning and
didn't see any one else out.

🌧    😊    ☔️    🐓

Book club meeting at the library this morning.
Discussed the book Mister Owita's Guide to Gardening by Carol Wall.
A great turnout today with 14 of us.
Most thought there were some good parts to the book but
over all didn't care for it.
That's how I felt too.
A couple people liked it and thought it was good.

Next month we are doing something a little different.
We all are going to come up with a poem we like
and read it.

I liked the book Theo of Golden so much that I told Ken to read it.
He finished and liked it too.

This afternoon I got a little cleaning done 
and finished knitting one of my slippers.

We are having our homemade pizza a day early because
tomorrow we are going to go out to eat
up at the ridge and have fish and chips.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Hope you had a wonderful day.

Baking with rhubarb

 I made the font bigger and it is quite large on my computer.  
Hope it isn't too big now.

This morning when I walked it was 55 degrees, cloudy, 
and a little breezy with rain on the way later in the morning. 
Had a few sprinkles on the windshield on the way home.

Started my walk going up the hill and around the cemetery
a few times.

Then went through town and back going up and down
some of the side streets.

Continued over to the ball park and walked that loop too.

Up and down some more side streets and lastly around the
other cemetery.

Lots of butter cups all over the place.
Such pretty little flowers.



Bee on a rhododendron blossom.


Quiet around town no one out and about.
Found a penny.

☁️    🌼    🌸    😊

I spent the morning in the kitchen baking.
A friend from church gave me quite a lot of rhubarb.

First I made Rhubarb Bread.
Next up was Rhubarb Pudding.
Cut up more rhubarb and strawberries and was going to make
a cobbler but decided I'd had enough baking for one day.
I'll make the cobbler in the next day or two.

I had quite a mess in the kitchen and was glad when 
I had things put away and the dishes washed.
Look at the pile of dishes I washed.


We went to town after lunch to the library to get a book for me
and a DVD that Ken picked out.
Both things were on reserve for us.

Ken surprised me again and order some more diamond art for me.
More cards but these have words on them,
like thank you or happy birthday.
He got me book marks too, the kind you put on the corner of the page.
They should keep me busy for a while.

I finished ready Theo of Golden by Allen Levi.
An excellent book and one of my all time favorite books.

Tonight's supper is Bean and Spinach Soup which Ken made.

That's all for today.
Hope you had a wonderful day and
thanks for stopping by.
HappyK😊

Deb - Yes, I know the people selling the house but not well.  When we lived in town they lived two houses down.  They sold that and moved to where they are now.  They have a daughter and 2 dogs.
This is their old house, quite a difference from their current house.
