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

Tuesday

A nice warm morning at 54 degrees.
It was cloudy at first with no wind and some sun near the end of my walk.

A couple people in comments asked if I carry a flashlight or wear a headlamp when I walk in the dark.

On dark mornings I walk in town on the roads that have streetlights first and then when it's light walk the other places so I don't need a flashlight.


So today started walking under the street lights.
Went through town and to the DG Market where I turned around and came back to town.

By that time it was light enough to walk around the ball park loop and both of the cemeteries.


A couple of Canadian geese walking around in the field.


This morning it was nice to see someone else out.
I saw RuthAnne walking her two dogs.
Up at the cemetery I saw three deer and I'm pretty sure they are the same three that I see out back at the house. (two big ones and a little one)
They were headed out toward my house.
As the crow flows my house is just 1/2 mile away.

Washed another load of clothes and got them hung out on the line.  
Will be able to that most days from now on.

I ended up working on the puzzle most of the afternoon and got it finished.
This will be the last one for this winter season. 🧩


It was a warm sunny day and when I went to take the clothes off the line stayed outside on the deck for awhile.
Watched the birds at the feeder and watched a couple chipmunks chase each other around.
Hoping I would see the hawk come by and snatch one up but that didn't happen.

We both now have colds so that's what the sore throats were about.
Our colds so far are mild so hopefully will be gone very soon.

It's been a good day and hope yours was too.
Thanks for coming by.

Debbie - Yes, people sometimes do say they didn't like the book.  Me for one! :) We really do discuss the book and people do say what they really think.  We get some good discussions going.

Ginny - No I've not heard of Tortilla Boats!  This is the tortilla shells we use for making the burritos.

Sunny day

Forgot to include this in my post yesterday from church which I thought rather remarkable.
The oldest person in our church is Harry who had a birthday this past week and is 102 years old.
The youngest person is Remington, a baby born this past week.
Harry moves a bit slow with his walker but still comes to church most weeks and his mind is still sharp.

Back to walking in the dark again now that we had the time change.
It was clear, no wind, and 37 degrees.
Sunrise was 7:37 and I had been walking for an hour and 7 minutes by then.

First part of my walk was up and down the main road and side streets under the street lights.
Once it got lighter I walked around the ball park loop and the cemetery on the hill.

I had all my steps in by then so headed back to the Jeep.

Didn't see anyone else out, but maybe there were people out but didn't see any of them in the dark. 🙂

I didn't take any pictures on my walk today but here is one left ofter from the other day of the pond.

The day was a sunny one and the temperature got up to the mid 60's.
Happy I was able to hang sheets outside on the line to dry this time.
Also washed the top blanket and hung that out there too.

Started cleaning windows and got the front door and the living room ones done.
Spent a little time outside.
I got the little raised garden bed out back weeded and ready for a few plants this year.
Already got tomato and radish seeds and a little starter kit to get them started.
Still want to get cucumbers and that's all I'm going to grow this year.
It just too hard getting anything to grow here.

Sat out back on the deck for a little while.
Read more of the Briar Club which I have to finished by Thursday when the book club meets.
Not really liking it all the much.
Having trouble keeping all the characters straight.
Still have to read about half the book.

Supper tonight is hot ham and cheese in burrito shells.

Both of us have sore and scratchy throats.
Hope it doesn't develop into anything!!!

It's been a lovely day and hope you enjoyed yours as well.
Thanks for stopping by.
HappyK😊
