Pumpkin Cookies

37 degrees this morning and I thought just a cloudy morning.  I walked on over to the lake and that is when a very light rain started.  It stopped and started a few times, but not enough to get me wet, just a little damp.  I think the rain caught everyone off guard because there was more people out than usual on a rainy morning.

I saw a couple of deer and another fox!  As I mentioned I don't usually see them very often and it's even more rare to see them by the lake.

The cones were gone today so people were parked in the main parking lot again and I couldn't tell what work got done.  They sure didn't pave anything.

By the time I was close to home, about 1/4 mile it started raining a bit harder.  I walked through the little shopping center under cover which is right across the street from my townhouse.  Got a bit wet but was soon home in my nice warm dry house.

A rare day that I don't take any pictures and this was one of them.

I took 12,524 steps on my walk.

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

I was going to make a pumpkin pie but decided to make pumpkin cookies instead.  This is a new recipe for me.  I had to eat one to make sure they came out good - and oh yes, they came very good. : )

Mixing it up

Out of the oven

Cooled, iced and ready to eat.

I wrapped the presents I bought and wrote out some Christmas cards. Just going to do a little each day so it doesn't become a chore again.

I haven't tackled the phone again yet and I think I'm going to give it another day and then just do it.  How hard can this be?  Little children can figure it out!!

I have some cleaning to do and then I will read or knit for the rest of the afternoon. 

Friday seemed to come around awfully fast this week.  Hope yours is a happy day and sunshine surrounds you.
Happyone  : )

And you will have joy and gladness,

and many will rejoice at His birth.

~ Luke 1:14
