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

2 mints

 

38 degrees this morning for walking but no wind.
There was a mix of sun and clouds and a beautiful morning for walking.
Sunrise 6:57

Walked around town and then to the industrial park and walked
all around in there.
Passed where David worked but the big garage door was closed
so didn't see him.
I only see him once in a while.
(he works in receiving)
I keep a small candy bowl at home with pink peppermints in it.
David always has a couple every time he comes by.
Today I took a couple, put them in snack bag and put them
on his Bronco in the parking lot.
I can picture him smiling and saying
mom was here.


Then walked back through town to the pond.
Passing the dentist office I saw Katelyn our hygienist just getting
to work and we had a little chat.

Saw a walker some distance away and we waved but I couldn't
tell who it was, I didn't recognize their walk.

Spent a good part of the day finishing up the weekly house cleaning.

Knitted awhile on the shawl I'm making.
The one that starts with 2 stitches and every other row you
add another stitch till there are 185 stitches.
I'm now up to 112 stitches.

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

Another Day Another Walk 😊


  A little windy but nothing like yesterday.
42 degrees and sunny once the sun rose.

Walked around town a little and then over to the industrial park
and walked around there.


A view of part of town from up the hill at the
industrial park.


After the industrial park I walked around down up and down
most of the streets in town and then back to the pond.

Rebecca was out walking this morning

One of the houses were getting new shingles put on.
Seeing quite a lot of that lately.
Guess people want to get that done before winter.


😊    🦃    🥾    ☀️

Washed another load of laundry and this time the sun and 
a little wind was nice for getting them dried.

This morning we went to a funeral for the son of a couple from church.
He was 45 years old. 
He had a brain tumor some 7 years ago and given not long to live.
He was in remission and than last Monday the tumor was back
and Friday he passed.
He was a saved man so we know he is now with his Savior.

This afternoon I got some housework done.
Then like most afternoons I read for a while and knitted.

That's all I have for today.
Hope you had a wonderful day.

Windy

Windy this morning and 40 degrees when I walked.
There was a mix of sun and clouds.
Sunrise 6:55


Walked around both cemeteries to start.
Then went back down the road towards home. 


On the way back took a detour up Sale Barn Rd.
Back in town I walked around the new road loop and
up and down the streets in town till I had all my steps in.

Didn't see anyone else out walking but did see Liz
drive by on her way to work and she gave me a toot.

Once I was back home again I walked down to the mail box
at the end of our driveway.
While down there walked over to see our cow neighbors.


😊    🐄    🚶‍♀️

Coming home from church last night I was surprised to see 
quite a few people who had their Christmas decorations up already!!

I washed the sheets plus another load and should have hung them
over the drying rack inside.
But the sun was out so hung them outside.
What I didn't take into account was the WIND.
I was forever going out and untwisting the clothes from around the line.


Some dried but I ended up taking some inside to dry.

Baked some more Oat Bran Muffins.
I make them quite often now because they are my new favorite breakfast.

I did some knitting this afternoon on the blue throw blanket.

That's all I have for today.
Hope you had an enjoyable day.
Thanks much for stopping by.
HappyK😊❤️

The happiest people seem to be those 
who have no particular cause for being happy
 except that they are so.
