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

A peek in the house

A cloudy morning walk.
52 degrees and a little breeze.
Sunrise 7:22

Had to mail a couple of things so walked to the post office
first and put it down the slot.
Then walked all around town under the street lights.
I notice that 3 of the street lights have burned out.
I'll have to let Bill know.

Walked around both of the cemeteries.
Went over to the long barn.


Only 2 cows in the barn right now.
The barn is getting cleaned for the cows that will be there
for the winter.
All the cows expecting calves stay there during the winter
to have their calves.

Heading back to the cemetery here.


Continued down to the Drane house.


I took a peek in the windows and took a couple of pictures.
This is from the right front window.


This one is taken from the left side of the house.
There are two rooms on the first floor
divided by a middle stairway.
The door to the right is the front door.


There are two bedrooms up stairs.

As always I enjoyed my walk around town.
Rebecca was out walking too.

After breakfast went back to town and met up with the
ladies for stitching.๐Ÿงถ
Just 4 of us there this time.
I knitted on the throw blanket.

When we left the library
I walked over to the Firehouse to see the craft show.
Though there were many beautiful things there I
didn't buy anything.
I like old collectible and antiques more than crafts.
Did a bit of this and that during the afternoon.

That's all I have for today.
Hope you had a wonderful Saturday.
Thanks for stopping by.

Janice - Yes, James Drane lived in the house.  The house was built in 1798 by William Lamar and given to his sister Priscilla and husband James Drane, the first permanent settler in the Accident area. 

Ginny - No, we didn't go to Oakland for Autumn Glory.  We have in years past but it is the SAME every year.

Deb - You are very welcome. ❤️

Friday

Another morning, another walk.
This time the temperature was 42 degrees with clear skies.
The sun came over the mountain just as I was finished walking.

Starting out in the dark.


 

Walked up and down the main road and a few side streets.
This week is Autumn Glory in the county with parades, 
Yard Sales, and Craft shows going on.
People were at the fire house setting up for the craft show there
for today and tomorrow.

From there I walked the main road back towards home.
Made a detour up and down Sale Barn Road.



The cow looked right at me so took her picture


By the time I got back to town I had walked all my steps.

๐Ÿ™‚    ๐Ÿ    ๐Ÿ„    ๐ŸŒค️

Though I have all my recipes neatly in a binder, 
I still have some to print out so they will all be uniform.
I'm printing them out in large type making them
nice and easy to read when I'm following the directions.
So I got a some of that done today and 
then just puttered about the house.

Always find some time for reading and knitting too.

Pizza night has rolled around again and the dough is 
rising now and Ken will be making the pizza any time now.


Hope your day was sunny and bright.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

Debby - The oldest gravestone I've come across is for James Drane in 1828 and is in the cemetery on the hill.
