A walk to town

 I left the house a little later than usual this morning at 8:40.

Walked to town instead of driving.

That's why I left later after breakfast - wanted to walk in the sunshine.

It was only 16 degrees but with the sun shining and no wind it was

actually quite nice.

It's a little over two miles to town.

Also didn't think the sidewalks or side roads would be clear of ice and snow

and I was right, so glad I decided to walk.

I turned around and headed back down towards home when I got to town.

When I got to Barn Sale Road walked up that way.

Then back down and walked home.

This is the road I live on.

Around a couple of curves that go up a hill that is steeper than it looks

in the picture!!

My driveway is up there on the left.

Forgot to look at my pedometer before I left so don't have an

accurate step count of my morning walk but it was probably around 12,500.

Didn't see anyone else out and walking up and down my road didn't see

any cars either. 

Cars just on the main road.

It was a very quiet and peaceful walk.

Worked on the latest puzzle a little this morning and late morning

we took a trip to the dump and got rid of our garbage..

After lunch I did a wee bit more cleaning.

Started reading a Miss Read book.

I'm reading the Fairacre series now.

Since I've finished with Christmas knitting I'm back to knitting the shawl

I started for myself.

Some of the Christmas cookies I baked, I put in tin and was walking

up the lane to give it to a neighbor.

On the way I saw Liz coming home from work and she stopped to say hi.

Then the neighbors I was taking the cookies too came driving down the lane.

He stopped and I gave him the tin of cookies.

Never did get very far up the lane.

Happy Wednesday and thanks for stopping by.

Faith - My parents lived right on Abenaki Lake.  They lived in a log cabin and there was a gazebo down by the water.  Perhaps you've seen it!!

Diana - We probably got 4 or 5 inches of snow.
