Tuesday

Looking up the flag pole at the car dealer a couple of weeks ago.

51 degrees this morning and cloudy when I headed out the door on my walk.  It had rained during the night and seemed like rain again so I wore my rain pants but it never did rain on me.  

First walked over to the post office and mailed off another Netflix and then walked the Farm Loop.  I post pictures of this barn quite often but it is one of my favorite places to walk past.

Once I got back to town I walked around there a bit too to get a full walk in.  This is the loop around the ball park.

Walked the trail behind the ball park too which has a little stream flowing along side the trail.  It's only a short trail of 1/4 mile but it's nice being in the woods a little bit.

Kathy was out walking again and I watched some workers lugging shingles up on a roof. 

Lots of birds out again, all busy making nests.  Some sparrows are trying to make one on our front porch by the light.  A Robin did last year and laid 3 eggs and then the eggs disappeared.  Hope the sparrow have better luck.

I walked 6.2 miles.

Late morning we went to Lowe's and then to Walmart and on the way home it started to rain.  

I was supposed to be cleaning today but after being out in the morning I just didn't feel like cleaning this afternoon.  So I did a little reading and made a few more weave-it squares. 

Ken's cold is on the mend but unfortunately he has passed it on to me.  My colds are usually pretty mild though so I should be better in a day or two.

Last evening my Dad ( my step-dad but I call him Dad  so when I refer to my Dad it will be my step-dad).  My Daddy died back in 1999.  Anyway my Dad called and there was a bed for my Mom in the rehab that is close to their house and she was taken there yesterday.  It will make things a lot easier on him.  Though she is still very weak, she managed to take 5 steps with help and the walker.  Slow progress but at least there is progress.  : ) 
Today when my Dad went to visit her she wasn't in her room - she was down in the music room listening to some country western singers and was enjoying herself.

My mom loves to get mail and I was thinking how nice it would be for her if she received a lot of cards.  I am asking anyone who wants to if they would send her a note or card just saying they are praying for her or thinking of her mentioning that you are a blogger friend of mine.  If you would like to, email me and I will give you her address.  Thanks. : )

Hope your day has been a happy one and you smiled often.

happyone : )

Hope is faith holding out its hand in the dark.
