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

Early thunderstorm

Woke up this morning to a thunderstorm storm so waited until it passed before walking.
Got to town and started walking a few minutes before 8:00.
It was 54 degrees, a bit windy, and cloudy.
The last 15 minutes of walking it rained again.

I walked around both of the cemeteries to start.
The spreading of the manure on the fields has begun.


Walked through town and over to the DG Market and went inside today.
Bought some Halls lemon honey cough drops and some honey.
Popped a Halls in my mouth, very soothing!

Next it was over to the ball park and walked that loop a couple of times.
Three men were at the tennis courts.
I think they were putting a new net up.
Will find out tomorrow.

Thought maybe I'd see others out walking since I went later but didn't see any one.

I got home about 9:30 and it seemed too late for breakfast so skipped it today.
Had a nice cup of herbal tea.

We took the puzzle apart and put it away to do another year.
That's it for puzzles this season.

I finished reading the book club book, The Briar Club and it ended up being better than I thought.  Still I thought it was just okay.
There were just so many characters it was hard to keep them all straight who was who.  Also it went back and forth in time.
Curious to see the the others thought but I might not go tomorrow if my cold doesn't get better, don't want to give my cold to anyone.

I ended up falling asleep this afternoon and slept for about an hour!!
That doesn't happen often.

We aren't all that hungry so just having some grilled cheese sandwiches for supper.

The day seemed to pass very quickly.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by.
Hope you enjoyed your day.
HappyK 🙂

Tuesday

A nice warm morning at 54 degrees.
It was cloudy at first with no wind and some sun near the end of my walk.

A couple people in comments asked if I carry a flashlight or wear a headlamp when I walk in the dark.

On dark mornings I walk in town on the roads that have streetlights first and then when it's light walk the other places so I don't need a flashlight.


So today started walking under the street lights.
Went through town and to the DG Market where I turned around and came back to town.

By that time it was light enough to walk around the ball park loop and both of the cemeteries.


A couple of Canadian geese walking around in the field.


This morning it was nice to see someone else out.
I saw RuthAnne walking her two dogs.
Up at the cemetery I saw three deer and I'm pretty sure they are the same three that I see out back at the house. (two big ones and a little one)
They were headed out toward my house.
As the crow flows my house is just 1/2 mile away.

😊    🦌    🌤

Washed another load of clothes and got them hung out on the line.  
Will be able to that most days from now on.

I ended up working on the puzzle most of the afternoon and got it finished.
This will be the last one for this winter season. 🧩


It was a warm sunny day and when I went to take the clothes off the line stayed outside on the deck for awhile.
Watched the birds at the feeder and watched a couple chipmunks chase each other around.
Hoping I would see the hawk come by and snatch one up but that didn't happen.

We both now have colds so that's what the sore throats were about.
Our colds so far are mild so hopefully will be gone very soon.

It's been a good day and hope yours was too.
Thanks for coming by.
HappyK 🙂

Debbie - Yes, people sometimes do say they didn't like the book.  Me for one! :) We really do discuss the book and people do say what they really think.  We get some good discussions going.

Ginny - No I've not heard of Tortilla Boats!  This is the tortilla shells we use for making the burritos.
