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

ABC Friday

In the middle of the night a thunder storm came rolling by.
A very loud thunder clap woke us both up.
Still raining when I got up at 6:00 but by 6:30 it had stopped so no rain for walking, just cloudy.
It was 35 degrees and calm.

Walked around town and then both cemeteries and the ball park loop.
So nice to be able to walk anywhere I want to again.

The little stream behind the ball park was pretty full with muddy water.


A quiet early walk around town.
Didn't see anyone!!

☁️    🥾    😊

Got the weekly house chores finished this morning.

I made some chocolate pudding and we will have that tonight for our snack instead of ice cream.

With all the snow melting and the rain our little waterfall is flowing.


Reading a good book, The Rose Arbor by Rhys Bowen.
Ended up reading longer than I intended too! 😊

Happy to say Ken got the tractor going again today.
Now we are set for the next snow fall.


MY ABC'S

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Sometimes pictures, sometimes just words but it will be something about me.

V is for Victory
I have Victory in Jesus

"V" Is For Victory

"V" is for victory!
Sing it out, tis a glorious word
"V" is for victory!
It is ours through Christ our Lord.
Some days may be dark and drear,
In Christ the ways all clear.
For we have victory,
Victory in Christ our Lord.


The chorus of the hymn Victory In Jesus.

O victory in Jesus, 
my Saviour forever.
He sought me and bought me, 
with His redeeming blood.
He loved me ere I knew Him, 
and all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory 
beneath the cleansing flood. 

I Corinthians 15:57
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Hope you had a fabulous Friday.
Thanks for coming by.

A foggy morning


It was a foggy walk around town this morning.
The temperature was 38 degrees and it was calm.
Sunrise 7:03

Once again had a nice walk all around town up and down most of the side streets.
The side walks are now clear so I got to walk up the main road through town.


Went around the ball park loop and the cemetery up the hill.
Happy to say I also can now walk around the lower cemetery too. 😊


Here comes KitKat over to see me.


Pretty quiet around town again and didn't see anyone else out yet.

🌫    🐈    🥾    😊

After breakfast I was off to church for a morning of Blankets.
We make baby blankets and blankets and pillows for seniors.
Only 8 of us there this morning but always nice to get together with the ladies.
I worked on making weave-it squares for a pillow.
Marilyn liked the blanket! 🙂

A warm day in the 50's with some drizzly rain so most all of the snow is gone.
Only the big snow piles in parking lots are left.

Did a couple of house chores this afternoon and then read a while and knitted too.

Tonights supper is shrimp and fried rice, another one of my favorites.

Hope your Thursday was a great one and thanks for coming by.
HappyK💕

Debbie - Thanks for the book recommendation.  I've put it on reserve at the library.
