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

Tuesday


53 degrees this morning for walking.
Calm and some clouds and sun.
Sunrise 6:39
A bit dark now when I first get to town and the street lights are still on.

Walked around all four of the loops which are all on
the left of the main road in town.
Two cemeteries, the ball park, and the new road.

Then I walked up and down Sale Barn a ways and then back to the Jeep.

The cows and bulls up Sale Barn are also Farmer Marvin's.


 A sunflower along a driveway I walked by.


The weather was the perfect walking weather for me.
No one else out, not yet anyway.

😊    🌼    🌤️

Did the usual house chores during the morning.

This afternoon I straightened out my craft closet once again.
Every time I get that closet looking neat and tidy I say I'm
going to keep it that way, but it never lasts. 

Also straightened out a draw in the kitchen.
A draw of tablecloths, napkins, placemats, dish rags and scrubbies.
Everything was just all thrown in the draw every which way.
Now all is neat and tidy once again. 

This afternoon I sewed another row of weave-its on to 
the baby blanket I'm making.
6 done with 4 more to go.

A little cool for sitting on the porch and reading so read inside.

Just about time for supper now so off I go.

Hope you had a wonderful Tuesday.
Thanks for stopping by.

The missing needle 🪡

59 degrees this morning when I walked.
There was just a little breeze and
some sun and clouds.

Up the hill to the cemetery and walked around it a couple of times.
Then I walked over to the long barn and walked around it.
This is down the far end of it.


 Just a few cows in the barn and they are enjoying some hay.


With the new road in I now have another loop to walk around.
I've started calling it the new road loop.

The little cemetery it is by, is down the right road and on the left. 


You can see the back of the cemetery in the middle of the picture.
(this is a different cemetery than the ones I walk around)


From here I walked to the ball park, around town, and the other
cemetery where I saw a couple of deer.
A doe and a fawn who has just about lost all of her spots.


I usually end my walk over here at the pond.


Quiet around town this morning, didn't see anyone else out.

😊    🥾    🌤️

Washing sheet day once again and glad for a sunny day.

I lost the long needle that I use for making weave-its.
Thought I might have left it at the library on Saturday
so went to the library when it opened to check.
No, it wasn't there so thought it must be at the house somewhere.
Ken helped me look all over.
When he lifted up my chair there it was sitting on the floor.
Oh happy day!
In the mean time Ken went on line and ordered me a
couple of needles.
At least now I'll have a spare.

Starting reading my next book and
did a little knitting.

Hope you had a wonderful Monday.
Thanks for stopping by.
HappyK 🙂
