I have finished!!!

Another great morning and another walk!  Though i started walking in the dark it was so nice walking in the sunshine of early morning once it rose.  Only 41 degrees and it was brisk and crisp, perfect for walking.  I walked around the lake. The leaves are starting to turn colors and they look so pretty with the sun shining on them reflected in the lake.

It is surprising to see the different clothing people where at this time of the year.  Some people are in hats, gloves, and winter coats and others are only wearing shorts and tee shirts.  I was wearing a long sleeve turtleneck tee shirt, a sweat shirt and a hooded sweat shirt over tights and shorts.  I always wear a ball cap and i had my hood on (put the hood down once the sun came up.)  Obviously i'm the one dressing sensibly!! : )
A few deer were around the lake and the white egret was standing at the waters edge.  A few cardinals and blue jaws were about as well as the usual geese and ducks.
Quite a few people were around too and a few fishermen were in boats.

There were two women walking the opposite way from me who i haven't seen before and as usual i said good morning.  They said good morning back and then asked how far i walk, how often and all the usual walking questions and that it looks so effortless for me.  They were both quite heavy and told me they were mother and daughter who have decided to finally lose the weight and have just started walking.  I saw them again on the other side of the lake as they were huffing and puffing along.  I said, "I see you made it all around the lake.  Good for you! It will get easier and easier each time.  Before you know it you'll be passing me up."  They both laughed and said, " Thanks for the encouragement. See you tomorrow."

Found a couple more coins.  A penny and a nickel.
I walked 6.5 miles.

*************************************************

I stayed home and it was a busy morning for me.  I washed the sheets and got them hung up on the line,  made meatloaf and put it in the slow cooker, ironed Ken's shirts, cleaned the bathrooms and then sewed the nine white squares together in a strip.
After a late lunch i sewed the strip on to the rest of the squares.  I am so happy to say that the Sample White Afghan turned bedspread is now FINISHED.  I have been working on this on and off for about EIGHT years!!! 
I got the sheets off the line, made the bed and put the new white bedspread on it.  There it is!!

Now with that done i plan on sitting in my chair and reading until Ken gets home from work and it will be supper time. 

Lots of sunshine around today again in my world.
Hope the sun is shining where you are too.
A smile from me to you.
Happyone : )

So, like a forgotten fire,

a childhood can always flare up again within us.
