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

Dusting

Winter is not quite over yet as today reminded us. 
Walking this morning the temperature was 31 degrees, it was windy, and snowing.


Walked up and down the main road and side streets in town.
Around the ball park loop twice and up and down some more side streets.


Continued on over to the lower cemetery and around there a couple of times.
By 7:30 the snow had stopped and we were left with just a dusting.

Not much happening around early this morning and no one else was out walking.

🌨️    😊    🥾   ☃️

Did a load of laundry and I was back to hanging the clothes on the drying rack.
Did the basic ever day house chores and then I just took it easy for the day.

Ended up not going to the book club.  
My shore throat is gone and my cold is now in my chest and I'm coughing.
I drank numerous cups of tea which was nice and soothing.
Ended up falling asleep again and taking a nap as I was reading.
Must need the extra sleep.
Ken's sore throat turned into a head cold.

The sun came out this afternoon and it was very windy and the dusting of snow is gone.

That's going to be all for this Thursday.
Hope you had a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by.
HappyK 🙂

Debby - I go to bed between 11:00 and 11:30.  I usually wake up at 6:00 and the first thing I do is go walking.  Taking the nap didn't change my sleep.  I think I just needed the extra sleep.

Early thunderstorm

Woke up this morning to a thunderstorm storm so waited until it passed before walking.
Got to town and started walking a few minutes before 8:00.
It was 54 degrees, a bit windy, and cloudy.
The last 15 minutes of walking it rained again.

I walked around both of the cemeteries to start.
The spreading of the manure on the fields has begun.


Walked through town and over to the DG Market and went inside today.
Bought some Halls lemon honey cough drops and some honey.
Popped a Halls in my mouth, very soothing!

Next it was over to the ball park and walked that loop a couple of times.
Three men were at the tennis courts.
I think they were putting a new net up.
Will find out tomorrow.

Thought maybe I'd see others out walking since I went later but didn't see any one.

I got home about 9:30 and it seemed too late for breakfast so skipped it today.
Had a nice cup of herbal tea.

We took the puzzle apart and put it away to do another year.
That's it for puzzles this season.

I finished reading the book club book, The Briar Club and it ended up being better than I thought.  Still I thought it was just okay.
There were just so many characters it was hard to keep them all straight who was who.  Also it went back and forth in time.
Curious to see the the others thought but I might not go tomorrow if my cold doesn't get better, don't want to give my cold to anyone.

I ended up falling asleep this afternoon and slept for about an hour!!
That doesn't happen often.

We aren't all that hungry so just having some grilled cheese sandwiches for supper.

The day seemed to pass very quickly.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by.
Hope you enjoyed your day.
HappyK 🙂
