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

Unexpected snow

Sunrise 7:12
When I walked this morning it was 20 degrees and snowing.
Was surprised to see the snow because the forecast said just cloudy.
But it is winter and it was kind of nice walking in the snow.

Went to see how the cows were doing. 🐄


Here's some pictures I took as I walked along.







Walked all over town up and down all the side streets.  
The sidewalks still are covered in snow from the snow plows so still can't walk on the main road in town.
Pretty quiet around town on this snowy morning and didn't see anyone else out.

 🙂    🌨️    ☃️    🥾

Back to the library again this morning.
This time for my book club.
A good turn out this month with 10 of us there to discuss The Comfort of Crows.
Most every one liked it.  I thought it was just okay and a bit boring.

I haven't used my Kindle for quite a long time.
Today I charged it up again and reset it and hooked it up with Amazon.
Surprisingly it went smoothly!

Spent some time knitting this afternoon on the blue pillow.

We are having some of that chili from yesterday again for supper.
This time we are making taco salads with it.

Hope your Thursday was a good one.
Thanks for coming by.

The Bronco


31 degrees this morning went I walked in town.
It was a cloudy morning and very windy.
With the warm temperatures from yesterday we had quite a lot of melting going on.
Still can't walk around the cemeteries or the ball park though.

Walked all over town, up and down the side streets and just everywhere that was cleared. Most all the side streets are just about ice free now.

Not much going on in town and didn't see anyone.

You can once again tell that there is a pond.


  ☁️    💨    🥾    🙂

Got a slower cooker of chili going first this morning after breakfast.
Then did a bit of house cleaning.

We went out and about and did a few errands.

I'm already making a weave-it blanket, and knitting a couple pillows, and today started another throw blanket. 

David came by and asked if Ken would drive him to the dealership to pick up his Bronco!!  His Bronco is fixed, all under warranty and David is very happy!!! 😀 They had it in the shop since last Monday (Feb 2).
David is joining us to have some of that chili in the slow cooker for supper.  Having cornbread with it too.  I didn't make the corn bread.  I've tried some recipes but it never turns out that great.
After supper we are going to play Mexican Train.

Hope you had a wonderful Wednesday.
Thanks for coming by.
