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

Six more bowls

 

43 degrees when walking this morning.  
Clear and when the sun rose it stayed sunny.  
Calm at first but then it got a bit windy.
Sunrise 7:09
Walking Steps 12,861

Walked down the left side of town first and then behind our old house.
Continued over to the ball park and around the loop twice.
Next it was back to the cemeteries and walked around both of them
a couple of times too.

Went down to see the 'girls' at the barn.
A muddy mess there again.

Walked over to the big barn and up and down both sides of it
looking at all the cows and little ones.
The little ones here were still asleep.


While I was there Farmer Marvin showed up and gave me a tour
of the big barn.
He walked up and down with me and pointed out all the different cows. 
The barn is full of mothers and babies and some about to 
calf any time now.
Maybe I'll get to see one being born.

These heifers were up front and were for sale.


Next I walked through town and back again.

Saw Rebecca out walking with her dog Leo.
(she is Farmer Marvin's niece)
Saw George who I know from town over by the garage and
Phil was there too.

Nice to see some daffodils blooming.

Got some chili cooking in the slow cooker first thing after breakfast.
Then got started on the weekly house cleaning.

We took the 3 boxes of tracts to church yesterday.
Someone had done 1 of the other boxes.
There were still 2 boxes left so we took them home to do this week.
Did one box this afternoon.

More Pyrex bowls arrived today.
These are the 2 cup size.


We had a brief rain shower but then it cleared up again.

Like most afternoons I read a little and knitted.
I seem to do that late afternoons before supper.

Thanks for popping in for a visit.
Happy Monday

Oh, I love the cows. How neat for you to be able to watch them grow - and to visit with them. I have those same pyrex containers.

...I love the daffodils, snow today makes them look a ways off.

Susan said...

I could walk that many steps if I was where you. I know it is an excuse, but this city girl longs for the country. I like Pyrex bowls too. I hate plastic! Enjoy your week!

Debi said...

43* I think that's the warmest temp I've seen you post. It looks like you had a pretty day for walking, and how nice to stop along the way and see the animals. The daffodils are so pretty, are they growing wild or are they in someone's flower bed? Enjoy the chili, it sure sounds good.

The sky looks so summery but at 43* I'm sure it was not warm. The Daffodils are cheery. GM

Farmer Marvin has quite an operation there.

How nice to tour the barn you see so often.
Those bowls are going to be well used.

How nice to have a tour of farmer Marvin's barn. I'll bet the babies were cute. It would be exciting if you were able to see one be born.
I have bowls just like yours and love them.
