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

Walking Aroung the Basement Loop

With a temperature of 3 degrees it was back to walking in the basement today.
At least I had a nice break walking outside two days in a row.

Took pictures of my walk around the basement.
Not the best pictures but will give you an idea of the loop.

Start out at the bottom of the stairs.


Down the left side.


Along the back wall.


Around the other side which is where Ken works on the trains.
Walk between the black and yellow totes.


Around the other side.




And end up by the stairs again.


One loop completed is 85 steps.
I go around one way for 500 steps and then turn and go the other direction for the next 500 steps.
Usually start out first thing in the morning going 4,000 steps.
Second session 3,000 steps.
Third session another 3,000 for a total of 10,000 basement steps.

I was in the mood for some French toast so I made us that for breakfast.
Did my routine morning chores.

We went out to do a few errands and stopped for lunch and had some chicken strips and fries.

This afternoon I worked on the puzzle ๐Ÿงฉ a bit, read,๐Ÿ“š and knitted.๐Ÿงถ
Now I'm knitting a blue pillow with a popcorn stitch.

That's going to be it for this post.
Thanks for visiting and hope you had a fantastic day.

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.๐Ÿ“š
Then up and down some of the side streets.

Walked back and forth between both of the barns and checked in with the cows. ๐Ÿ„


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!!!!!

๐Ÿ™‚    ๐Ÿ˜€    ๐Ÿ˜Š    ๐Ÿค—

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.๐Ÿงบ
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.๐Ÿงถ
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.
