It was 28 degrees, no wind and once the sun came up it stayed out.
I saw a fox along one path and farther along heard a woodpecker. Stopped to see if I could spot him and did but he was way to high up in the tree for me to get a picture of him. Sometimes I wish I had a good camera with a long lens. I know I'm missing some good photos. But I like my little camera and it is nice to be able to easily carry it with me on my walks. I saw two hawk like birds sitting together on a branch.
Walking through the school yard I got this picture of the morning moon. Three kids were riding their bikes and stopped to see what I was taking a picture of. One of them said "cool" and they continued on their way.
Today I walked 6.7 miles.
Sunrise 7:27
Sunset 5:03
The same sunrise time AGAIN!
*********************************
No time to do much of anything this morning because I had to leave for my Tuesday knitting group. Tuesdays sure come around fast! There were 15 of us there today. Once again I knitted on the baby blanket. It is going to be 44 inches long and I am a little bit more that half finished as you can see here that I have 24 inches of it done.
We both got the half size Pecan Crusted Chicken Salad which is very good. We always enjoy our lunches out and did this time too. : )
So now I'm home and don't feel like doing anything constructive so I think I'll just sit and read for a while. There is always tomorrow to get that ironing done!!
A happy Tuesday to you.
Happyone
A smile costs nothing but gives much.
It enriches those who receive without
making poorer those who give.
It takes but a moment,
but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.
None is so rich or mighty that he cannot
get along without it
and none is so poor that he cannot
be made rich by it.
Yet a smile cannot be
bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen,
for it is something that is of no value
to anyone until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile.
Give them one of yours,
as none needs a smile so much as he
who has no more to give.

People still say Thank You when I hold a door for them, both friends and strangers. But when I smile at a stranger, frequently they look blank or surprised or suspicious! We seem so afraid of each other in these terrorized times.
Sounds like a FUN day :)
Yes, my Dear, there is! Always tomorrow to get to that ironing. :-)
I'm lacking in get-up-and-go too. -pout- But of course, I have that mahhhhhhhhhhvelous excuse of... I'm nearly 75. -grin- I do tend to use that excuse, to excess. -chuckle-
Btw, you don't need to do anything on your blog look, for Valentines Day. You did it already! You are using a lovely pink/red here! I don't think I have ever seen anything but blue here, while I have be reading here. :-) And you know, I do love, love, love pink/red!

all ebony of shadow
and silver of snowy slope;
big stars were shining over the silent fields."

That is my favorite meal at Applebee's... The Applebee's around here in TN seem to be doing okay.. SO--who knows?
Sounds like you had a great day---walking, knitting, talking, eating... Life is good. Right???
Hugs,

Love that blanket pattern!
I think all restaurants are hurting this month. John said to our favorite waitress last night that we had beaten the rush. She said, "You are the rush!" Oh my. Seems that the place has been pretty slow in the New Year.
