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

Learning something new

It was a misty morning walk for me today. 
62 degrees and no wind.

I walked all around town up and down most of the streets.
I walked around one of the cemeteries,
the new road loop, and around the ball park.


Trucks can rust out pretty bad here because of all the
winter salt, but this is a bit extreme.
This was put up on the side walk.
Looks like part of the fender rusted out and fell right off the truck
with the license plate still on it.


I saw Rebecca out walking this morning.
She is the one I see most often out walking.

It was blankets day at church this morning so after breakfast
went there to make blankets.
I usually make weave-it blankets for the babies but
this time I decided to learn how to make the fleece
blankets with the ties that everyone else makes.

It was slow going for me at first but I got the hang of it
and then it was easy.
I picked out my two pieces of fleece,
made the cuts and started tying the knots.
This is as far as I got while there.




When I got home I finished the blanket.
Sure goes a lot faster than making a weave-it one.
I'll be making these fleece ones now. (at least for a while)

Here is it finished.


David and Liz are coming over again in just a bit 
for another game night of playing Mexican Train.
I made the Pumpkin Spice Cake yesterday for dessert and
Liz is bringing supper.
Don't know what it is but whatever it is it will be good.
Everything Liz makes is GOOD!!

That's going to be it for today.
Thanks for stopping by and
Hope you had a wonderful day.
HappyK 🙂❤️

Bedford and baking

 Interesting sky this morning.


Mostly cloudy but a little sunshine too.
A warm morning for this time of year at 64 degrees.
A little windy and sunrise was at 7:26.

Walked all around town up and down all the side streets.

Looks like St Paul's church in the middle of town
will be getting new shingles on the roof.



You can see Phil recording his video for the day below.


Continued around both of the cemeteries.
Took a walk over to the long barn and the Drane house too.



Didn't see anyone else out walking.

Did a load of wash and got it hung out on the line.
After breakfast we left for Bedford, Pa with the trailer loaded with
the Romans books and the clothes.
It was a nice ride up there.

Had lots of help unloading everything and reloading another
pallet of scriptures to bring back.

On the way home, like we do every time we stopped
at Wendy's for lunch.

A couple of pictures driving back home.



At home this afternoon I baked a Pumpkin Spice Cake.
It is still cooling here.


I got the recipe on blogger friend Ellen's Blog.

I also made some chocolate pudding which I'll have tonight
for my snack instead of my usual ice cream.

That's it for today.
Hope you had a wonderful day.
Thanks for stopping by.
HappyK🙂❤️
