Some good finds

A bit chilly out walking this morning, only 31 degrees, but there was no wind and the sun came out and warmed it up to 42 by the time I got back home.
It's been a while since I've been around the lake so I walked there this morning.  Nice to get back to my lake.  That is one thing I miss when we are up at Happy Trails.

The heron was down by the water and I watched him fly off across the lake.  There were quite a few bunnies around, all the usual birds chattering away and the geese as well.  As usual for a Monday there were only a few people out.  There were a few fishermen just arriving and all was well at my lake. : )

I found a penny this morning but yesterday was a good coin day - a dime and four pennies.

Today I walked 6.1 miles.

I guess you're wondering what Ken came home with Saturday from the auction.  I took this picture standing on the deck as he backed into the driveway.  Those blue water barrels will come in very handy for our water.

This snow plow will fit on the front of the tractor.

We can have a nice fire in this caldron.

He also came home with chains, hand forged fire utensils, a hand plow, a shop vac, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things.  All good things that we can use!!  He did well and only spent a little over $200!!

Stopped in at the library to pick up a book that was being held for me and that's the only one I came home with!!  The book is These is My Words, The Diary of Sarah Agnes Prine, 1881-1901 Arizona Territories by Nancy E. Turner and it was recommended by Mary from My life in Scotland, a blogger friend of mine.  It is her favorite all time book so I just had to read it with a recommendation like that!  I'm looking forward to starting it later.

We've just finished lunch and Ken is outside changing the oil in the truck.  I'm thinking about going out and washing my car when he's done.  It sure needs it, but I really don't feel like doing it. 

Now I'm off to read some blogs.
Hope your Monday is sunny and bright.
Happyone : )

Edit:

I did wash my car and feel really good that I did.  
Once I got going I enjoyed it. : )

Ken offered to help but I said I'd rather do it alone.

Now he's washing car.
