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

My African Violet

34 degrees this morning and clear when I walked.
No wind and sunrise was at 7:33
Once again when the sun came up the day was sunny and bright.

Walked all around town.
Then back down the road towards home, turned around and headed
back to town.
Before getting to town I turned up Sale Barn Road.


 Back down the road to town and the end of this mornings walk.
The sun was just coming over the mountain as I was leaving.

Went to Walmart for food shopping right after breakfast.
As usual saw someone we know from church.
Happens most every time we go.

There is a mural on the wall as soon as you go into Walmart.
It's been there for at least a week.


After lunch I tackled giving the dining room a good and thorough dusting.
When the hutch was dusted I put some of my 
red and yellow Fiesta Ware on it for a change.
Nice colors for Fall.

I continue to be amazed at how my African Violets are growing.
This is one of the ones I transplanted.
It has never stopped blooming.


Some of the leaves are as big as my hand.


Lena asked me if I had a simple blanket pattern that I would share with her.
So I started knitting another blanket so she could see the pattern.
I'll show it to her Saturday and if she likes it will give her the pattern.


I'll put this blanket aside and knit it once I have finished a couple
other knitting projects I have going.

That's all I've got for today.
Hope you had a wonderful Wednesday.
Thanks so much for coming by.

Outside this afternoon

Another cold clear morning with lots of stars.
33 degrees and calm.

Me and my shadow.


Walked all over town and up and down all the side streets.

Continued up to the cemetery.
Then over to the long barn.
The cows are back inside now.
They all started mooing when I arrived and made quite a racket.
These came over to me first


and then all of them came along.


 I'm sure they thought I was bringing them hay.

That came a little later when the tractor took some from 
here and brought it to them.


Rebecca was out walking Leo.
Saw them on my way down from the cemetery and they
were headed up that way.

Another load of laundry out to dry this morning.
Then I baked some Chocolate Chippers.

Did a very thorough dusting of the living room.

A beautiful sunny day in the 60's.
After lunch we went outside.


I picked up dead branches that the wind had taken down
and put them on the brush fence that I'm making.


Ken emptied the dirt out of our raised garden bed boxes 
and moved them because they need some repair work.
You might remember that during the summer one side of one
collapsed because it rotted out.


Late afternoon I still had a little time to do a little reading.

That's all for today.
Hope you had a sunshiny day.
Thanks for coming by.
