Happy Trails Work

✿     ✿     ✿     ✿

68 degrees this morning with a mix of clouds and a nice breeze. Walked straight through town and out the other end and went down toward HT, passed up the the turn off road to HT and walked another 1/2 mile down the road.

Then turned around and walked back to town, around both cemeteries and the ball park loop and then headed home.

Lena was out walking today with Kathy and we three stopped for a short chat.  Kathy asked if I had eaten the peach. : )  I'll do that tomorrow.  A man was out walking his dog too, but I'd never seen him before.

Walked 6.2 miles.

Ken put up the shelves last night and then I put a few of my things on them.  My step-dad made the shelves. Three of them are now in the dining room.

The other two are in the back sitting room.  The Monopoly game board hanging on the wall is one I made quite a few years ago.  It is a counted cross stitch done to scale and you can actually play the game on it.  The picture on the right is a needlepoint I made and the piece of crazy quilt in the frame was made and given to me by my friend Elsie a long time ago.

Ken went up to Happy Trails again today and this time I went with him.  The weather was sun and clouds and we had a rain shower but then the sun came back out.
Yesterday Ken finished putting the shingles on the bump out and stained them blue.  He used old pallets.  The other little bump out in front will have the same shingles. 

The rest of the front will have the slab boards on it.  We are still waiting for the guy to call with the saw mill who is going to cut the trees that Ken got from church a while back.  Hopefully that will happen next week.

We collected more rocks with the tractor and Ken used them to make these steps.  We are using some of our crushed rock on the steps too. They are still not finished but this is what is done so far.  Notice that Men Working sign? : )

We cleaned the inside of the cabin up a bit and took a lot of the tools and things we weren't using back down to the tractor barn to put away.  Here's a shot of the inside of the cabin.  I'm standing in the corner where Ken just put the shingles up to take the picture.

When we got back home I did a bit of weeding out in the front yard.  I filled up two wheelbarrow fulls and then I had it for the day.

Looking forward to ice cream later for my snack.  Lately I've been eating a Hagan flavor called Chippedy Chocolaty.  It's vanilla ice cream with chocolate shavings in it that taste like the chocolate coating you get on the ice cream on a stick.  It is very good and I think I might even like it better than Chocolate Chip Mint.

So that's been my Friday.
Hope your day was a happy one.
