Thursday

56 degrees this morning and cloudy when I left on my walk.

I walked the Farm Loop.  None of the cows on the dairy farm up ahead there on the right were out in the field.  Haven't seen those cows for quite a while now.  The chickens were out running around though as well as the barn cats.

Didn't see anyone at all out along the Farm Loop, not even any cars. 

 I thought this phlox looked so pretty growing along the road here on both sides of someones driveway. 

Once I got back to town I walked around the ball park loop and took a quick loop through town before arriving back home.  Half way along my walk I felt the first drops of rain and by the time I got home it was raining pretty hard and I was pretty wet by the time I got in the house.  At least it wasn't cold out. 

Walked 6.2 miles.

During my walk I got a text from our son David saying he was about an hour away and would be stopping by so when I got home from my walk he was already there. : )  He's staying for the day and night and will leave in the morning continuing on to NJ.

I'm still have more cookies to bake for the new church that is getting started in WV that I've mentioned before and today I baked some Welsh Cookies for them.  I'm baking 5 different kinds of cookies.  Thought an assortment would be nice and cookies travel well. Four kinds so far so just have to bake one more batch.   Don't need them till May 9.  Nice that cookies freeze well too.

Ken and David went up to Happy Trails and then took some trees to a friend of a friend who has a saw mill.  The trees have been sitting in the trailer in our driveway (the trees Ken picked up from church that were cut down) for a few weeks now.  At the saw mill they will be cut into slab wood which we will use for siding on our cabin at Happy Trails.

Never did get to mow the lawn yesterday and today is no better, grass still too wet.  Hopefully tomorrow. 
A happy day to you.

Eileen - Yes, that is phlox in yesterday's picture at the cemetery.

Sharon - Thanks, nice to have you as a follower. : )

Jedidja - Yes, the cookies are easy to make.  I know I've shared the recipe on my blog before but I can't seem to find it now to send you the link.  If I can't find the link I'll post the recipe again tomorrow.
