Outside again

Temperature was 20 degrees this morning when I walked in town.

We had another dusting of snow overnight and this morning it was cloudy with a few snow flurries fluttering around.

My walk was pretty much the same as yesterday, having limited places to walk.

Made it over to the library and put a book down the drop.📚

Then up and down some of the side streets.

Walked back and forth between both of the barns and checked in with the cows. 🐄

Couldn't walk around the cemeteries or the ball park because the snow was too deep. 

The sidewalks are covered in snow too.

Even though my walk is a bit limited, I'm so happy to be outside.

Not sure about tomorrow morning - supposed to go back down to single digits.

Hope they're wrong!!!!!

🙂    😀    😊    🤗

Later in the morning I'm happy to say that the sun was shining!!!

Got another load of laundry done today and the laundry is done, at least for a few days.🧺

Some more house cleaning got done in the morning and I knitted in the afternoon.

Just finished the shawl I was knitting a little while ago.🧶

I had to make it just a tad bit shorter because I ran out of the yarn I was using.

I was supposed to end up with 185 stitches on the needle and only had 171 when finished.

Those 14 stitches didn't make that much of a difference so it turned out fine anyway.

Didn't take a picture yet but when I do I'll put the picture up on my other blog with the details.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hope you had a fantastic day.

Happy Day

19 degrees this morning so I was in town walking at 6:40.  

A dusting of snow during the night and a few flurries while walking.

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed being in town and walking.

Sunrise 7:22

There was a lot of snow around and the sidewalks were piled with snow but I did find enough places where I could walk.

Headed over to the long barn which I haven't been to in quite a while.

Farmer Marvin was there checking on all the new moms and their babies.

22 have been born so far.

The most recent calves born had little coats on them.

He was telling me that when they are first born they are brought inside where it is warm and they get dried off with a blow dryer.

It takes about an hour.

Then they get little coats on and brought back to their moms.

After a couple of days their coats come off.

Farmer Marvin says the cold doesn't bother them and they are healthier being born in the cold. 

He comes by the barns every single morning to check on the cows to make sure they are all fine.

Then I walked down to the other barn by the Drane house.

I walked back and forth to the barns a couple of times and then up and down some of the side streets.

Stopped to chat to the town worker Bill who was working on some water problems in town.

Someone dropping off their child at the day care commented that it was good to see me out walking again.  I told him I just couldn't take another day walking loops around the basement!! 🙂

(though I am very happy I have that place to walk)

☁️    🐄    🥾    🙂

Got another load of laundry 🧺 washed and put on the drying rack and then we were off to Walmart to get the weekly groceries. 🛒

Made a stop at the library before getting home.📚

After getting everything put away it was time for lunch.

This afternoon has been a happy at home one.

David's Bronco got picked up and towed away at 6:00 last night.

Now it is at the dealers finding out what is wrong.

Hopefully I'll be able to walk in town again tomorrow.

Right now it is snowing so I'll have to wait and see.

That's been my day.

Hope you had a wonderful Tuesday.

Thanks for coming by.

Deb - It's not that our basement is big for me to make loops, I just make LOTS of them.  Ken's trains take up the whole middle and I walked around the edge.  It is 85 steps once around.

Debby - No, don't listen to music when I walk around the basement.  I guess I just have an active mind and just do all my thinking and planning when I'm walking.
