Cheese Cake

This morning was a chilly one with a temperature of 29 degrees when i started out walking.  There was no breeze again and when the sun finally rose it stayed out there so the last half of my walk was in the sunshine.  By the time i got home it was 35 degrees already.  I walked around the lake again and today there was a mist just hanging over the water giving it a bit of a spooky look.

Quite a few of the regulars out walking and i stopped for a short chat with a couple of them. 
I was just thinking that i hadn't seen any deer for a while and there around the next bend was two of them.  A male and female.  Both took off bouncing into the woods and as soon as they were in the woods they blended in and disappeared.  That's probably why i haven't seen any.  They are there, they are just blended in among the trees and brush.
This road runs along the path that i walk on to and from the lake.  The little stream that i often take pictures of runs between the path and the road and is off to the right.

Once in a while like today i walk on the road instead of the path just for a change. 
Another nice walk and today i walked 6.6 miles.

Thanks Giving Challenge Day Number 2

I am Thankful for all the great places i have

for taking my morning walks.

I have a beautiful lake to walk around

and many many paths through the woods

and neighborhoods where i live.

I have streams to walk along

and get to see lots of wildlife.

Walking is something that i enjoy

and living here with all the places to walk

just adds to the enjoyment of it.

Did my usual morning routine and got a load of clothes washed and hung outside on the line to dry.
Then it was time to make the cheesecake.  I did find the Keebler brand of graham cracker crumbs at Food Lion.  Ken suggested i write Food Lion on the box so next time i won't forget. The cheesecake is easy to make,  but it does have a few different steps to it so it takes a while.  It is well worth it though because it is the best cheesecake ever.  Ken always asks for it for his birthday cake.  It will be hard to wait for tomorrow before we can eat it.  At least i get to lick the batter bowl and believe me it was good! : )  That's another thing to be thankful for today!!
If you would like the recipe or just to see what it looks like i have it up on my online cookbook at MealsMatter HERE.

After lunch i did some vacuuming and dusting.  Just have to get the clothes in off the line, folded and put away and then i will sit back and relax and do some reading.

A very happy day to you and take a smile along with you from me.

Happyone : )

At times our own light goes out 

and is rekindled by a spark from another person.

Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude

of those who have lighted 

the flame within us.
