Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

Old Window

This was taken on Sunday when I was out walking.
 🍀     🍀     🍀
Guess what?
Woke up, looked out of the window and you guessed it
more snow coming down
and another day of getting my steps inside.
By the way, once my month of exercise class with the Balancing Ball
ended I decided not to go back to the fitness center.
It sounded like a great idea and I was excited about it
but it's just not for me.  
Besides on these days when I could use it, it is closed because
of the weather.
🍀     🍀     🍀
I had this old window frame sitting around and for the longest time 
I've wanted to add a few touches to it and hang it up.
 I bought the little wreath and the stars a while back for it.
Added an old curtain that I had and a sting of leaves.
Ken helped and here it is hanging on the wall.
Got another puzzle started.  This one of a fox sitting on a log
looking at a butterfly.
 Also got some reading done.
A pretty quite day around home.

By late afternoon the snow stopped and the sun came out.
We went to Brenda's for supper.
Here's what I had.
Spinach Salad
 A happy day to you.

Another beautiful post. That first photo is stunning; I think you should enter it in your county fair :)

Karen, your window is adorable! I love the way it looks hanging on the wall. Your salad looks delicious. I love spinach salad...especially if there are strawberries in it.

The green is upon us. I like what you did with that window. Cute! We finally had sunshine today and Dear and I were able to get out and walk. I think I've given up on gyms, too.

Love what you done with the window frame...and hope you post a picture of the puzzle. Sounds like one we have done.

...nice use of the old window. I'm on the lookout for a large one with many lights to display family pictures, I haven't found the right one yet. We had beautiful blue skies with drifting snow...cold but nice.

Very creative on your snow day. Cute window with the leaves. So many things you can do with those windows, I'm sure you'll have fun with it all year.

I like what you did with that old window. So cute and it would be fun to change for the seasons, if you so desire.
I'm thinking with a dinner like that you could easily rationalize an extra scoop of ice cream :).

What a beautiful salad! After months of warming soups and grilled sandwiches, it's so nice to have a fresh salad, even when it is still snowing outside :( After a fairly mild winter, it does seem that spring is having a hard time coming down here in the South this year. That's a very pretty window! What a creative idea!
