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

Sunny

 Mostly sunny this morning for walking with a few
clouds around.
Temperature was 67 and very calm.


Walked around both of the cemeteries.
Then stopped at the Jeep to pick up a couple of books
and a card to mail.
Headed over to the post office and mailed the card and
then to the library and dropped off the books.

Continued walking through town up and down side streets
and over to the ball park.
Walked around there and then back to the Jeep.

Rebecca was out walking Leo.
Anna and her dad Mark were out too.
Anna told me that yesterday they ordered her birthday cake.
Blue is her favorite color so she got lots of blue roses on the cake.
She was so excited. ๐Ÿ™‚๐ŸŽ‚
Her birthday is next week.

I got some more windows washed this morning.
The French door windows, the dining room, bathroom,
and the garage pedestrian door.
That's all I could without the ladder.
Need the latter for the outside of the kitchen and bedroom windows.
Hopefully I'll get them done tomorrow.

I had a pair of slippers that I knitted and just needed to sew
them up so did that today.

Sat out on the porch again and Ken joined me for a while.

It's been a good day.
Thanks for stopping by.
Hope you had a wonderful day.

Recipe project done

This morning when I walked it was 68 degrees.
Mostly cloudy but did see the sun every so often.
Pretty calm out there too.
Sunrise 6:20


On my way to the industrial park I went through town
and up and down some of the side streets.
Walked all around in the IP.


From there I went back to town and to the ball park where
I walked around the loop.
Then back to the pond parking lot.

Today I saw John walking Prim. 
Thomas was running laps around the ball park and
Anna was out walking with her dad Mark again.

A delightful walk once again.

Did another load of wash and hung it out on the line.
Time for the windows to be washed again.
Just got the living room windows done, but it's a good start.

Got the major part of the recipe project done.
Every recipe in this book (125) as been added to my recipe blog.


Then I sorted through the recipes that were left over and the ones
I would never get around to making got thrown out.
This is what I'm left with.
The ones on the right I've made before but just haven't gotten
them on the recipe blog yet.
As I make them again I will add them there.
The ones on the left are recipes I haven't tried yet and those
too once I make them will either be added to the blog or toss them.


That project got done quicker than I thought
and it sure feels good.๐Ÿ™‚

One of these days I'd like to do the same thing with my
knitting patterns which are all over the place.๐Ÿงถ

Nice to have some time toward the end of the afternoon
to just sit out on the porch and read.๐Ÿ“•

Thanks for stopping by.
Hope your Wednesday was delightful.

Janette - The garden by the Drane house is looked after by volunteers at the Drane house. Don't know what happens to the things grown there.
