Another windy day

Another windy morning, 64 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds.

Sunrise 6:39

Liking these lighter mornings.

Soon I won't even have to turn on my headlights driving to town.

This time I walked one big loop all around town including the cemeteries and the ball park.

Then started to repeat the loop again but didn't have to complete it before I had all my steps in.

This time the rooster stood on a bale of chicken wire crowing for me this morning.

The skunk cabbage has popped up.

It doesn't smell like a skunk until you rub the leaves together and then it really does smell like a skunk.

I know I've tried it.

I stopped to talk to Kermit and his wife Elaine who were out in their yard.

Over at the pond I spotted a couple of red winged black birds and also heard and then saw a killdeer.

Sure have been some great walking weather mornings lately.

😊    🌷    🥾    🌤

Did a load of laundry and the usual morning house chores.

We went to the library to pick up a couple of DVD's that Ken had reserved.

The 3 books I have on reserve haven't come in yet.

Since I put a jigsaw puzzle up on Jigidi I've renewed my interest there and have  been spending a bit of time doing puzzles there.  

Supper tonight is meatloaf, baked potatoes, and beets.

Giving the meatloaf a Mexican flavor by adding salsa, chili powder, crushed Tostitos, as well as the usual egg and onions. 

That's all for today.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you had a wonderful day.

Tom - I had no idea that there were that many different varieties forsythia!!

Ginny - No, the cow didn't have triplets.  The only calf of hers is the one closest to her. The others just happened to be there.

GrannyM - The mountain pink from yesterday is also called creeping phlox.  My mom always called it mountain pink.

Rural King and Martins

61 degrees this morning, windy, and cloudy for walking today.

Walked around the cemetery on the hill first.

A side trip to the long barn to see the cows again.

Here's a mom and three little ones.

  

This picture was taken at the other end of the barn.

The mountain pink is now blooming among the gravestones.

Would be nice if the color lasted longer than a couple of weeks.

The forsythia is not doing well around here this year.

Just a few yellow blooms but mostly just green leaves are starting to appear.

Continued walking around the other cemetery and then headed down the main road towards home.

Turned around and walked back to town and around a block in town and that completed my steps.

We left after breakfast and drove down to Lavale.

Checked out a new store called Rural King.

It is somewhat like Tractor Supply but much BIGGER with more stuff.

We roamed around in there for a while and bought a couple small things.

Since we were down there, instead of doing our food shopping at Walmart this week we shopped at Martin's.

Such a nice store that is brightly lit and has nice wide aisles. 

We were back home for a late lunch and then just puttered about the house this afternoon.

I did my usual activities of knitting and reading.

Again it was a bit too windy for reading on the porch or walking outside and adding brush to my fence.

Having Tacos for supper in just a little while.

Hope you had a wonderful day.

Thanks for coming by.

HappyK😊

Mary - The tracts are handed out anywhere and everywhere we go.  I don't go on them but there are road trips (mostly the kids go) to different towns. Some people go house to house and leave them at the door.  I've put them in stores in purses for sale or boxed things.  So when people get home they find a tract in it.  Also books for sale or even in library books. Really anywhere you can think of. It is only limited by your imagination.😊
