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 birthday and the Jeep got washed

 

Part of my walk was actually in the sunshine this morning
and it was wonderful.
Temperature was 50 degrees and calm.
A little cloudy at first but then lots of blue sky and sunshine.

Walked around both of the cemeteries first and then stopped
at the Jeep to pick up a DVD.
Then to the library to drop it off.
Continued around town, the ball park and the new road.


Finally ending back at the pond and my walk completed.

Fire house busy this morning with people coming and going voting.
Think schools were closed because I didn't see any buses.

Got another load of laundry washed and hung out on the line.
Then did a bit of this weeks housecleaning.

Remember that Cheese Cake I baked yesterday.
I baked it for Ken because today is his birthday.
Happy Birthday Kenny
It's been a pleasure growing old with you.๐Ÿ˜€

It was a nice warm sunny day and the temperature 
made it up to 70 degrees.
I've been wanting to wash the Jeep for a while but keep putting it off.
Today I decided I'd better get it washed 
because who knows when I'll get a better day for it.
So outside I went and gave it a good cleaning,
inside and out.
Worked on it for almost 2 hours but feel so good that it's done.

Liz is in Florida this week visiting her granddaughter
but David is stopping by after work in just a little while
to have a piece of birthday Cheese Cake.

That's it for today.
Hope you had a wonderful day and thanks much for stopping by.

Thanks Aritha and Michelle for letting us know about the chickens and the dirt. ๐Ÿ™‚

Cheese Cake


49 degrees this morning and cloudy for walking.
Sunrise 6:47
Saw a couple of rabbits run across the street on my way to town.
Just about light now when I get to town and the street
lights are just blinking off.

Started my walk going around both the cemeteries,
the new road and ball park. 

Reflection in the pond.


Walking around the ball park I noticed one of the chicken 
laying in the little hole in the dirt.


At first I though she was hurt because she was moving her wing funny.
This is going to sound funny but I called the other chickens
and told them to check on their friend.
They actually came over and that's when the chicken got up and looked fine.
I'm wondering if she was making a nest there?

I was surprised to see that the roof job on the church was already done.
Usually things take a long time to get done around here.
They even worked on it yesterday (Sunday)
which I thought strange working on Sunday on a church.


It was delightful being out and walking early this morning.
No others were about.
I did see KitKat though.
Haven't seen him in a while.
Didn't see him at first and he came running over to me.

Monday, so got the sheets washed and hung out on the line,
plus another load.

Today I baked a Cheese Cake, Ken's favorite.

I was knitting on my blue throw blanket and noticed a couple
of rows back that I made a mistake.
I could have left it in and no one would have noticed but
it bothered me so I back tracked a couple of rows.
Then knitted and caught up to where I was.

That's all I have for today.
Thanks for stopping by.

I watch my wife knitting, 
and it's like watching close-up magic to me.
