Another beautiful day

✿     ✿     ✿     ✿

Once again this morning the temperature was 50 degrees.  Watched the sun come up and stay out in a beautiful bright blue sky.  Wow the blue was spectacular.

Didn't walk any special walking route of mine today.  Mailed off the letters I wrote yesterday at the post office and then just walked all over the place.

This road leads to HT.

 Walked up Sale Barn to see the cows.  I've seen the white cow before but not for a long time.  Tried to get a picture of her looking at me but she just kept eating.

I met the woman who lives across the street from the cows this morning.  She was picking up the newspaper at the end of her driveway and we stopped to chat.  Her name is Sondra and funny thing she is afraid of the cows.  Here I am telling her they are gentle animals and have let them lick my hand, me who really know nothing about cows and she has lived here all her life with the cows.  : )  Just struck me funny.
Sondra was another one who said she should get out there and walk.  So many people tell me that.

They cows were mooing quite loudly this morning.  I could hear them from both sides of the highway.  Farmer Marvin has separated the young ones from their mothers and they were calling to each other.  A bit sad I thought.

Sure was nice to be outside walking.  I just love these mornings.
I walked 5.9 miles.

I stayed home again today while Ken went up to HT.  He was going to do a bit of a clean up there.

On the 27th is my turn to provide snacks for the kids in Sunday school so I baked the first batch of cookies for that and put them in the freezer.  I'll bake the other batch  another day.  I need to bring 120 cookies.

Wrote a few more letters, got another load of laundry hung out on the line, and sat on the porch and read for a little while again this afternoon.  Another one of those beautiful sunny days.

Since a few of you were interested in the cole slaw recipe I made yesterday, here it is.

Cole Slaw

1 cup mayonnaise

3 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

4 cups shredded cabbage

1 cup shredded carrots

In large bowl stir together first 4 ingredients.  Add the cabbage and carrots.  Toss to coat well.  Cover - chill at least 2 hours 

I used lite mayonnaise.  The recipe also called for 1/2 cup of chopped green pepper but  didn't add that.

I like raisins in it too but Ken doesn't so I just add some to mine serving when I eat it.

Hope you have enjoyed your day.
