This morning I left for my walk at 6:40
It was 51 degrees with sun and clouds
Sunrise 6:38
Walked to town.
Stopped at the post office to hang up a flyer for a church event
on the bulletin board.
Then headed over to the ball park and walked that loop
a couple of times.
Continued on to the cemeteries and walked around them too.
Saw 5 deer and a rabbit.
Lisa was out running but we didn't stop to talk because
she was on the phone.
Ken was in town so I finished up my 6 miles in town and rode
back home with Ken.
Found a penny.
Found a penny.
Got a load of clothes hung out on the line and then we went
to McHenry to the fairgrounds where they were having a
country fest.
Fun to walk around and look at the animals.
Mr Turkey was strutting around.
His tail feathers weren't looking so great though.
There were some kittens in a cage that they were trying to give away.
I wanted to take home two gray kittens.
One had a pink nose and the other a black nose.
They were so cute.
Ken quickly steered me away from them.
There was an auction of new and old stuff, craft booths,
some beautiful quilts where on display
which they were going to auction off later in the afternoon.
Lots of food too.
This cow stood nice and still while a little girl tried her hand at milking.
We stayed there all morning and then left to do a few errands.
In the afternoon we worked outside.
Here Ken works on his wall on the side of the house.
He's not quite one but will be soon.
I finished clearing out the section of the woods I was working on.
Here's what it looked like a while back.
Here's what it looks like now.
Not standing in the exact same spot but pretty close.
Now I'll just keep going along the property line making the fence and
clearing enough for a path to walk all around our property.
Should keep me busy for the next 10 years or so.
🙂
Made homemade pizza for supper tonight.
I made the dough as usual and Ken made the pizza.
Hope to get some reading done and a few more
weave-its made this evening.
That's it for today.
Hope yours was a happy one

Wow, you have got it looking so good...and loving that rock wall. What colors are you using for the new weave-it blanket? If you have told, I cannot remember for the life of me.
...I can see that Ken will never run out of stone!
Ten years or so! Well that’ll keep you busy. I laughed at Ken’s steering you away from the kittens. If I didn’t have to feed them and clean up after them and provide the $ for care, I’d love to have a cat again. It gets pretty lonely around here.
Your photos are absolutely stunning, Karen, you and Ken amaze me with your work ethics. We enjoy going to fairs like this. especially when the weather cools. Thanks for sharing.
Blessings,
Sue
Your first photo is beautiful. The section of woods you're clearing looks great. Fantastic job! Ken's rock wall is coming along nicely too. He sure does like to keep busy! God bless you both!
Most all of your days sound like good ones. That stone wall is amazing. Are all those stones coming from your property? It's beautiful! I love how you've cleared the woods. That's the kind of thing I love doing.
Walk, Country Fest, Errands, Outside Work and beautiful photos. Your Ken is amazing . . . what energy and talent . . . bravo!!!
You've done a lot of work clearing the underbrush in the woods and it's looking very neat.
Mr. Turkey looks a bit funny. Too bad about the kittens...I assume Ken isn't fond of cats.
Your walks always seem so peaceful and the beauty...
It's always enjoyable going to the fair and seeing the animals that the children have worked so hard on.
Such a beautiful stone wall and you have certainly done a fantastic job clearing!
Bless you ~
Hi Karen- This sounds to be a very busy day for you and Ken. Ken's Wall is coming along nicely. I did a little bit of weeding to-day which included pathways too...Rain is forecast here for the next few days - so hope it will be heavy and fall into the dams. Best Wishes. KEV.

I doubt you'd be able to do that in the UK.
God bless.
Hello, pretty scenic shots, I like the view of the pond. The rock wall is looking nice, ken is working hard. Homemade pizza sounds delicious. You have done a great job on the property line, looks nice and clear. Happy Sunday, enjoy your day. wishing you a great new week ahead.
Your view is incredible. The fair looked fun... how did you not bring home the kittens! Ken sure keeps busy, I imagine that the wall job is very satisfying and very exhausting.
Have a great sunday,
How could you have gotten any more into a day than this one? Your first picture is so beautiful! You and Ken are making great progress on your land clearing and the stone wall. With all of your energy, I doubt it will take you another ten years to finish the job!
That first photo is a stunner! Ken's wall looks really good and I can't believe the difference your woods look. Great job, both of you!
Cool turkey
The kind of cow the girl is trying to milk would be the only one I would try my hand at.
It's good to face the reality of how long some projects will take. You both have done a lot of great work around your new home. Love the stone wall that is being built and the clearing you have done. Beautiful photos.
Your photographs are all so lovely, but that first one really did make me say WOW!
Sounds another full and busy day you enjoyed here.
All the best Jan
You're certainly keeping busy!
