Nice to get back out and walk this morning after missing yesterday. It was 25 degrees with a slight breeze and I watched the sun come up. I walked the farm loop and around town.A couple of horses I haven't seen before came down by the fence. The other horses must have been talking about me. : )
They smelled my hand and then I petted them both.
Saw some rabbit prints in the snow but no sign of them.
I walked 6.5 miles - 12,616 steps.

Ken went up to Happy Trails today and I decided to stay home. I had lots of things I wanted to do inside.
One of which was making Pumpkin Whoopies. I got the recipe from blogger friend Nellie at Berries and More which you can find HERE. Thanks Nellie, they are delicious. I'm thinking like you Nellie, that I next time I'll use a smaller scoop!
I like to bake and these were fun to make. : ) They do take quite a lot of time though. I didn't eat lunch because I ate too much of the batter!! There was one left without a top so I put icing on that and ate that too. One thing nice about having your kids grown and gone is that you get to lick the the bowl and beaters!!
I did a load of laundry and hung it on my inside line down in the basement in my drying room. I keep forgetting to post a picture of it but remembered today.
We went to Mountain State Brewery for supper and had a pizza.
I'm going to read some before television time. I have three books I'd like to finish before starting on next months book club selection which is Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline. It sounds good and I think I'm going to like this one!!
Hope your Thursday was a good one.

you will discover that your life will
suddenly be filled with gratitude,
a feeling that nurtures the soul.

Kim - Yes, I froze some of the pumpkin breads. I'll be making more of them too. They make great little gifts. : ) I looked at the time you left your comment and I was indeed out there walking and was taking pictures of the horses above. : )

Love those horses. What beautiful faces!! And those Pumpkin Whoopies look amazing! Yummy!
Nice looking horses!
Thank you for the Whoopie Pie reference! I really liked them, and for that reason haven't made them again.:-) It was too tempting to eat too much of them. I never have bought a smaller scoop, though.
How neat that you saw some different horses! They seem very interested in you!
That is quite a "drying room" you have there! I have no place to dry clothes like that in this house.
The book sounds interesting. I will have to look into it!
Have a good night.
I love the cookies. They look so good! Thanks for sharing the picture of your "drying room." Looks a little like what my back bedroom looks like. I love hanging my clothes to dry. You were my role model for that and so I guess you could say you and your blog changed my life! ;-) Have a great Friday!
YUM!
I have seen the book Orphan Train listed on a number of sites and wondered about it. I will be eager to hear what you think about it.
Is there anything better than a walk in the morning?
So cute how the horses came to visit you. Word is probably getting around that you are the friendly lady who walks every morning :).
Those whoopie pies look mighty good.
I can also see how your pum[kin loaves would make perfect gifts. Just the right size.
Looks like you have a great area to dry your clothes.
