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

Cool weather and a very blue sky.

A chilly morning with some frost around.
Had to wear an extra layer!
It was 35 degrees and clear.
Sunny once the sun rose at 7:18.

Took this picture of the pond when I first got to town.


 Walked through town up the main road and up and down side streets.
Then over to the DG Market and walked
the road behind the store.


Then it was back to town and up a few more side streets.


The heron was at the ball park again in the stream.

I was mistaken yesterday about the lot getting 
ready for building the first house along the new road loop.
No sign of any work being done.
The trucks must have just been using the new road as a place to park.
Had all my walking steps in before I got a chance to walk
around the cemeteries.

Phil was out in front of the car dealership making a video.
Rebecca was just starting her walk as I was finishing mine.

I took this picture from the other side of the pond
at the end of my walk.
By that time the sun was up and shining.


๐Ÿ™‚    ๐Ÿ    ☀️
A good morning for a hot bowl of oatmeal
for breakfast and then we went back to town to the doctor's
office which is across from the pond.
Ken just had a wellness check up and all is well.
I have mine next Tuesday and we both get blood work
done this coming Thursday.

Back home to get some laundry done and a bit of house cleaning too.
Baked another batch of Oat Bran Muffins 
and this time put in chopped apple.
Ken likes these best but I like the blueberry ones best.

We went out and walked around outside.
Picked off the rest of the tomatoes that are still growing.
Took all the green ones in to ripen inside now that it is getting cold.

What a beautiful Fall day.
Lots of bright sunshine and a very blue sky.
It was 57 degrees this afternoon.


Thanks so much for stopping by.
Hope you had a wonderful day.
HappyK๐Ÿ™‚❤️

Sheets

 A cloudy morning today and 50 degrees for walking.
There was a little breeze too.


Enjoyed my usual walk all over town, including all
4 of the loops.
A couple of big trucks and an excavator was just getting
to the new road loop as I was leaving there.
Makes me wonder if a lot has been sold and they will
be getting the lot ready for building.

Over at the ball park loop in the stream I saw a heron.
He flew away as soon as he saw me and
I didn't have enough time to take a picture.

No one else out walking that I saw.

☁️    ๐Ÿ™‚    ๐Ÿ

On my way back home I drove past my street to home
and went up the road a few more miles and dropped the
Jeep off at Art Butler's garage to get the oil changed
and the tires rotated.
Ken was there in the truck and drove me back home.

The clouds gave way to a nice sunny day though a bit windy.
A typical Fall day with that crisp fresh air.
๐ŸŒค️
Nice day for getting the sheets out on the line to dry.
Did another load of clothes also.
I always take the sheets off the bed, wash and dry them,
 and put them right back on the bed.
My mom used to take the sheets off the bed and put
clean ones on from the closet.
Then wash them another day.
I like my way better because you get that fresh smell
and don't have to fold sheets!!
๐Ÿงบ
Did some knitting this afternoon.
Working on the throw blanket for Ken.
๐Ÿงถ
Then we went to pick up the Jeep.
๐Ÿš˜
Easy supper tonight.
Some more of the Salsa Beef Stew I made last week.
I had put some in the freezer.

Hope your Monday was sunny and bright.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
HappyK๐Ÿ™‚❤️

Ginny - The Baptist Bread is a small 4 x 5 booklet that is published bi-monthly and I get them from my church.  They hand them out to whoever wants one.  Tom Green is the editor.  If you have a baptist church around by you I'm sure they would give you one if you asked.  I know my church would!
