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

Cleared

Left a couple of my layers off this morning because the temperature was 40 degrees!
A cloudy sky and no wind.

A nice walk around town up and down all the side streets.
I got to walk around the ball park loop this time because the path is clear from ice and snow.
The chickens were nowhere to be seen. 


Stopped at the post office and mailed a birthday card to a friend.                      
I was also able to walk around the cemetery up on the hill and went around there a couple of times.
So much of the snow is gone now!!
I'm sure it will be back again though, it is only February!!


This morning was the first one that I heard all the birds chirping as I walked.
What a lovely sound!!!!  It's a happy sound.

☁️    😊    🥾

Finished the weave-it baby blanket this afternoon.
Now I can give it to Marilyn tomorrow at Blankets.
You can see it HERE.

Didn't do much of anything else.
Played around with my Kindle and downloaded a couple more books.
The next book to read for my book club is The Brier Club by Anina Collins.
Was going to put it on reserve at the library but there were already 2 people ahead of me.
Went to KindleUnlimited and there it was, so it is now on my Kindle!!

Supper tonight is meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and corn.

Hope you had a wonderful day and thanks for coming by.

Tuesday


The temperature was 30 degrees this morning when I got to town for my walk.
The sky was clear and once the sun rose it was sunny.
Sunrise 7:06
About a half hour before sunrise is when the sky starts to brighten up.

I walked all over town up and down all the side streets and once again as I passed the library put a couple of books and DVD's down the drop.

Went to see the bulls down at the barn across from the Drane house.


Someone plowed the path around the ball park loop but what melted yesterday  froze overnight, so I passed on walking there because it looked pretty slippery.


I haven't seen any other walkers out in the morning for such a long time.

☀️    🥾    😊

We went food shopping at Walmart this morning.
Since last week everything as been changed around and they were continuing to move things around as we shopped. 
Nothing was where it was supposed to be.
Ken was getting more and more annoyed when I told him, that if that was the only thing we had to worry about today we would have a great day.
His attitude changed. 🙂
It helps to put things in perspective. 

I made weave-its this afternoon.
Trying to get this baby blanket done by Thursday so I can give it to my friend Marilyn for her great granddaughter who will arrive this spring.
I'll see Marilyn at Blankets on Thursday.
Just have 7 more squares to go.
Shouldn't have any problem finishing this evening or tomorrow..

Hope you all had a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by.
HappyK❤️
