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

Donuts and knitting

 

Drove to town and started walking at 6:20 and sunrise was at 6:42.
It was 66 degrees and cloudy. 
The sun came out for a few minutes and quickly went away again.
Morning Walk Steps 12,866


Started my walk by going up and down the main street in town and going up and down all the side streets.
Then around both of the cemeteries and finally over to the ball park, around there and back to the Jeep.

One fisherman was at the pond.

Saw Rebecca walking Leo and ran into them 2 different times.
Lisa was out walking and saw her two different times also.

The second house that is getting built in town and ready to have the slab poured.
Still no walls put up in the other house.

☁️         ðŸš¶‍♀️         ðŸ™‚

Almost didn't go to the Shop and Save because the only thing we needed was milk but went anyway.
We came home with a bit more than just milk!!! 🙂

I made some donuts in the air fryer.
Very easy but not the best donuts, they were just okay though they look good.
Were a bit dense.  
Ken liked them more than me.
If you want to give them a try, the recipe is HERE.


I've been knitting on the shawl where I started with 2 stitches on the needle and add a stitch every other row.
I'm now up to 150 stitches - just 35 more stitches to go.


Had no idea who I was knitting it for but as I worked on it a name popped into my head so I'm making it for her.

Happy Tuesday and thanks for popping in for a visit.

I've never seen hay bales lined up like that. It's a lot of hay!
Pretty sedum! I love seeing it change color in the fall.
Someone will love the shawl.

Sunrise here this morning was at 6:21, temperature 17C 63 F, not that different from yours. It was cloudy and still smoke in the air, even had a bit of rain. I hope we get more as the week goes on.
My Sedum is also turning pink, a definite sign of the end of summer.

I'm finding you can do a lot of things in the air fryer. Those donuts do look good.
Love the colors on the shawl. It's funny how you can start a project and somewhere along the lines you just know it was meant for a certain person.

The rolls of hay look really long. Your donuts look delicious.
I love the colors of the shawl, very pretty.
Take care, enjoy your day!

I like doughnuts.

God bless.

Debbie said...

The donuts look delicious, Karen! My favorites are the "plain cake" donuts. Barely a sweet taste and no icing.

The donuts do look good. It's a shame they weren't as good as you would expect. If you run across any really good air fryer recipes, please post them. I'm still getting to know my air fryer. I did make some herb roasted potatoes last night that turned out really good.
That shawl is so pretty. I know someone will be happy to receive it.

I bet your walk seems quicker when you encounter your friends along the way...more than once. That's a fun scarf. It's been raining here since 1am and is still going strong! Happy Wednesday to you.

I don't have an air fryer but those doughnuts sound interesting.
