Company on my walk

So very nice to get outside this morning for my walk.  It's been three days in a row that I didn't.  Everyone was still sleeping so I quietly left at 6:30.  It was 20 degrees and pretty windy. Walked the farm loop.  As I passed one of the farms the two border collies, Oscar and Buster ran across the road to me.  The farmer (don't know his name) called both of them back.  Oscar listened and went back home.  Buster decided he would rather go for a walk

and he went about a mile with me.  I told him he'd better get back home because he was going to get in big trouble.  It wasn't long before up the road comes the farmer in his truck to get Buster.  There he is getting back in the truck.

Farmer and I had a little chat and he apologized for Buster.  They went home and I continued walking.  Got back to town and walked around the two cemeteries and then back home to a still quiet house.  Everyone was still asleep!!!

I walked 6.5 miles - 12,277 steps.

Sunrise: 7:07

Sunset: 4:45

Home this morning just doing things around here.  The kids were up late last night and slept late this morning.  My kids never did that.  If they  were up late for something, they were still up bright and early the next day.

After lunch David took the kids and they went to do a little exploring around the area on their own.  While they were gone I made two dozen Welsh Cookies.  I have to make five dozen of them for the cookie sale at the Drane House next Saturday.   Cookies have to be turned in on Thursday.  Proceeds of the sale will go toward upkeep for the Drane House.  I offered to make my Chocolate Chippers but was told that someone in town already has the chocolate chip cookies.  So I have competition in town!! : )

The house was so quiet and Ken and I got a little reading done this afternoon!
But then they came home and the house was in a whirlwind again. : )  You forget how exhausting little kids are!!

They were home for supper and we played a couple of board games.  They are still playing now as I write this.  I'm taking a break.

Hope your Saturday has been sunny and bright.
happyone : )

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed.

Happiness is the spiritual experience of living

every minute with love,

grace, and gratitude.
