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

Learning something new

This morning it wasn't cold at 54 degrees but it was a rainy walk with a bit of a breeze. 
The weather has been like a yoyo.
Sunrise 6:29


I walked around both of the cemeteries and the ball park each a couple of times.
Then continued up and down the main road and side streets.

The fisherman was there at the pond again fishing in the rain.
I said to myself, he must really like to fish.
And then I thought he's probably thinking, she must really like to walk. ๐Ÿ˜Š

It wasn't a heavy rain so actually it was quite nice walking along.

We went to a couple of stores looking for a weed trimmer but didn't find the one we wanted.  
Will probably end up buying it on line.

Finished up the last of this weeks house chores.

I found a great YouTube tutorial on learning to crochet.
Here's my practice swatch of the single crochet stitch.
The first few rows don't look quite right but now I think I've got it.
I'll practice this a little more and then go on to learning the double crochet stitch.
I'm liking this crocheting! ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿงถ



A happy day to you.
Thanks for stopping by.

A cold walk but sunny

Sunset last night from the front porch.


It was cold this morning for walking but the sun was shining and there was no wind.
The temperature was 28 degrees and I had all my winter layers on.

Walked to the post office first and mailed a letter and then to the library to put a DVD down the drop.

Then walked around the ball park loop.
The chickens were all huddled together, probably to keep warm.


Continued walking to the DG Market where I turned around and walked back through town and up and town some of the side streets.
Walked twice around the lower cemetery and by that time had all my steps in.

Rebecca was out walking Leo and she wondered if I was out walking in the snow yesterday because she thought of me.  
She wasn't at all surprised that I was out. ๐Ÿ™‚

๐Ÿ›’ Food shopping this morning and it was back to Walmart.
They are still changing things around and they got rid of all the self check outs.
We were disappointed because we like the self check out there.
Ken scanned the stuff and I enjoyed bagging it all up in my cloth bags nice and neatly with like things going in the same bag.
We had a good system.

Home for lunch.
Did a couple things around the house and then I went outside to work on the brush fence.
Ken came out after a bit too and cut up some big limbs for me with the chain saw.
Then we walked around a bit seeing what all has to be done.
Well really nothing HAS to be done, we just enjoy making trails and being in our woods.

Roasted veggies and sausage are in the oven now which we will be eating in a little. while for supper.
I make this pretty often.  I make a lot and there are leftovers for tomorrows lunch.
It is one of our favorites and it is so easy, delicious and good for you too. 

Hope you had a wonderful Tuesday and thank you for stopping by, and I sure do appreciate the comments.
