The plot of land

 It was 29 degrees here at the house and I almost didn't go to

town to walk because the bricks in front of the garage were icy.

But went anyway to see what it was like in town.

Glad I did because it was 33 degrees and just wet.

Misty for a little while and then just cloudy.

Sunrise 7:28

Walked 6 miles

First walked over to the post office and mailed off the last of the

Christmas cards and then over to the library to drop off a book

and a couple of DVD's.

Continued walking through town, behind our old house in town,

the ball park loop and both cemeteries.

The new fence is installed around the ball field.

Was talking to a friend Diane who grew up in town and she was

telling me about the general store in town. 

Rosie worked there and the kids called it Rosie's Store because she would always give the kids candy when they came into the store.

I spotted her gravestone walking around the cemetery at the top of the hill.

The long barn is finally completed and took the picture from the lower cemetery.

Just as I was coming out of the cemetery I saw a woman by

the plot of land that was sold where the cute things and

the little Christmas tree is.

Stopped and introduced myself and she told me her name is Kathy.

She lives in Baltimore and her daughter is married to the Pastor

of the church here in town.

Kathy and her husband are planning on building a little house

on the land in the next year or two.

Sheila was running today and I saw her around the cemetery.

☁️    🥾    😊    🎄

Seemed like a good morning for pancakes.

Did a load of laundry - no hanging outside today - had to use

my drying rack.  It's a nice big one made by the Amish.

Did a few every day chores and then made Sugar Cookies

for Thursday when we have our Christmas luncheon for

Babies for Blankets.

I made Christmas trees.

I'm going to make the icing tomorrow.

It has been awhile since all the deer have come through

the yard but a couple were here today.

Here's one of them out back.

Took the picture out of my bedroom window.

Finished knitting the purple slippers for Kinsley.

I put a string of colored lights around the window over the kitchen

sink by the bottles and mason jars.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Monday.

I wish we could put up some of the Christmas spirit in jars 

and open a jar of it every month.

Vee - Yes, I like both versions of Away In A Manger. My favorite singer singing it is Anne Murray.

Debbie - Thank you for your kind words but I'm no a photographer and all my pictures are taken with my phone.
