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

Saturday

 The wind finally stopped and this morning when I walked it
was 38 degrees and sunny once the sun came over the mountain.

Saw a couple of deer and a rabbit dart across the street on
on the drive to town.

Walked through town and around the industrial park.

I saw what I think were two raccoons run down into a drainage pipe
in a ditch along the side of the road.

Just past the Dollar General and across the road is Annie's and I went
up there and peeked in the window.  Looks like work has already started
for the Bakery move in.
My friend Bettye told me that Covid was NOT the reason why Annie closed
but that the owner Lisa has retired.
Thanks for the info Bettye. πŸ™‚

Noticed that a new project has started in this back yard.
It will be interesting to watch the progress.

Saw the man with the friendly little dog walking around the ball park loop.
We stopped for a little chat and we finally introduced ourselves.
He is Roger and the little dog is Andy.
I told him I can now stop referring to him as the man with the friendly little dog.
He laughed.

Used up my 6 miles before I got to walk around the cemeteries.

Walked 6 miles
Found a penny

🌀    πŸ™‚    🚢‍♀️

Made our weekly trip to the Dollar General first thing after breakfast.

Sunny day so got another load of wash done and hung up on the line.
Did a few other house chores before lunch.

It was one of those puttering about the house afternoons.
Was outside for a bit, knitted and read.
It was ALMOST warm enough to sit out on the porch and knit.
Walking about or working was fine but to just sit it was a bit cool yet.

Ken gave me a hair trim - about 1 1/2 inches - hair ends at my chin.
Sorry no picture - really hate to pose for a picture.

A happy and healthy day to you.
Thanks for stopping by.

...is that your firewood? Lot of Amish here who cut cants sell the scrap. I hope that you are enjoying your weekend.

Enjoyed your post, and catching up again! I love the pictures in your last post. The colors are so pretty. I've just noticed the picture of you and Debbi at the bottom made in 1982. It's just beautiful, well the both of you are beautiful!

Looks like a great start to the weekend. Warm greetings!

I love the part about man with the friendly little dog. Glad you got your walk in and had a good day. I hope it will warm up enough to sit outside soon. Enjoy the rest of the weekend! :)

It was almost warm enough to sit on the porch here too but I didn't take the time. I was busy handing tools to youngest son as he put the back landing and steps back together. At one point the nail gun stuck and as he lifted it to see what was the problem it went off and shot a nail right past his face. I didn't even have time to scream. He, of course, stayed Mr Cool. I am so thankful that he didn't get hurt.

Our weather here today was about the same as yours - warm enough to walk, but not warm enough to just sit outside. That is so convenient that Ken can cut your hair. Whenever I drive past a Dollar General store now I think of you. We also have Family Dollar Stores and Dollar Tree stores, so there are lots of things you can buy with a dollar. ;-) Glad your Saturday went well. Hope you have a good Sabbath. See you again soon.

Hello

Nice walk, the weather was nice. Hubby and I took a walk on our fire road. It is nice now you know the name of the man and his dog. Take care, wishing you a great new week!

We have rain here this morning and there is a swipe of snow that fell overnight. It is supposed to get clear and sunny today. I will believe it when I see it. lol
Hope you have a great Sunday- xo Diana

Looks like you had a nice start to your day. Someone is planning ahead with all that stacked wood.

Well, hate it or not, your profile picture shows much shorter hair. Inquiring minds wanna see chin length hairdo!!!

Roger & Andy. It's always nice to meet other friendly walkers.

When I walked this morning, before I got much exercise, nasty weather moved in. High winds, black sky, and a rainstorm.

I'm glad that China/Covid was not the reason, for the business, to have closed. She simply retired. -smile- And guess, there was no family member, who wanted to keep it going.

Plus, the building will be the new Happy Home for the Bakery. Win, win...

Wonder what that new addition, on that house, will be??????? Granted, there are always new happenings, in Nature. But this will be a fun thing, to watch evolve.
