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

Comment about the dark

33 degrees this morning and clear, millions of stars twinkling.
A sunny day once the sun rose.

Another walk all around town and all my regular loops.
Walking around the ball park loop here.
No chickens out, all staying warm in their coop though
I did hear one of the roosters crowing.


 Walking the new road loop here.
Still all empty lots.


Walking down from the cemetery here,


and here I'm at the other cemetery.
I can see both barns again now that the corn is cut down.


No one else out walking yet but did wave to the regulars in vehicles.
Saw the state trooper stopped and giving a ticket to a speeder!

As always it was great to be out walking first thing in the morning.

🙂   ðŸŒŒ    ☀️    🥾

Washed a load of clothes and my fingers were freezing by the
time I got all the wash hung up.
The clothes always smell extra good when it's cold out.
It did warm up to 60 later in the afternoon.

Did housework in the morning and that left the
afternoon for fun.

Didn't have any where to go today and it was so nice
to be home the whole day!!
Well I did make a quick trip to the library.
I finished reading Thin Ice by Paige Shelton which is the first
book in a 6 book series.
It ended with a cliff hanger so I looked up the next book,
Cold Wind and they had it in our library.
So I went and got it!!

Hope you had a wonderful day.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

Quite a few comments were about me walking in the dark so I'm commenting on the comments. 🙂  I like to walk first thing in the morning.  I get up, get dressed, and I'm out the door.  If I want to do that I don't have any choice about walking in the dark.
I'd rather walk in the light and sunshine but don't mind walking in the dark.

If I waited till it was light out, knowing me I'd get doing something and put off the walk and never get around to it.

I'm never anxious or afraid in the dark.  It is perfectly safe in my little town and I walk under the street lights.  I don't listen to anything while walking and don't talk on my phone so am well aware of what is around me.  I know so many people in town so help is always close by. Besides, I never walk alone, God is with me every step of the way. 🙂

There is something quite special about watching the start of a new day coming alive.

Sunday

 

I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth.
Psalm 109:30
✟
One of the hymns we sang at church today.

🎶 I will Praise Him 🎶
Margaret J. Harris

1. When I saw the cleansing fountain,
open wide for all my sin,
I obeyed the Spirit's wooing
when He said, "Wilt thou be clean?"

Refrain:
I will praise Him! I will praise Him!
Praise the Lamb for sinners slain!
Give Him glory all ye people,
for His blood can wash away each stain.

2. Though the way seemed straight and narrow,
all I claimed was swept away;
my ambitions, plans, and wishes
at my feet in ashes lay. 

3. Then God's fire upon the altar
of my heart was set aflame.
I shall never cease to praise Him.
Glory, glory to His name! 

4. Blessed be the name of Jesus!
I'm so glad He took me in.
He's forgiven my transgressions;
He has cleansed my heart from sin. 

5. Glory, glory to the Father!
Glory, glory to the Son!
Glory, glory to the Spirit!
Glory to the Three in One! 

A Blessed Sunday to you.
HappyK🙂❤️
