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

An unusual Nesting Doll

 A frosty morning at 28 degrees.
To town and walking at 6:30 and sunrise was 7:21.
It was calm and clear and sunny once the sun came over the mountain.
Morning Walk Steps 13861

Walked up and down the main street in town and all the side streets.
Then around the ball park loop and both cemeteries.

The modular home across from the cemetery  
still doesn't have any one living there.
With all the snow and cold during January they didn't get anything done.
Same thing with the two new houses I've been watching being built.

Nice to walk in the sun.



☀️    🥾    🤗

Though it was cold out, the sun was shining so I decided to hang
the sheets out on the line to dry this week.
When it's cold out they smell even better.

Ken asked if I would make some English Muffin Loaves
so I did that right after breakfast.

Finished making all the weave-it squares for the baby blanket
and now just have to sew them all together.

Worked on the puzzle more than I wanted to today!! 🧩

These nesting dolls are a bit different than the others.
The are china and there are only three.


Also different because they are measuring cups
using both the top and bottom half.


These were a gift from a blogger friend from years ago who no longer blogs.
She lived quite close to me when I lived down in Howard County
and the first blogger friend I met in person.

This may be the last set of my Nesting Dolls but the first
of the Measuring Cups that I have.
They will be my next series.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Happy Monday

Cute little nesting doll measuring cups. Also a nice way to remember one of your early blogging friends. I have a little pin (like a kilt pin) that has tiny nesting dolls hanging from it. My sister brought it back from Russia when she visited there. A special treasure for sure.

Everything is golden, and so beautiful! I love the dolls, and that they measure also.
The colors are also so pretty. So you collect measuring cups? Can't wait to see your collection!

I love those nesting dolls! Beautiful and useful! Our unusual ice and snow finally melted, and now our temperatures are more like very early spring. It isn’t easy to get much done when everything is covered with snow and ice.

How unique those nesting dolls are.
It was cold and frosty here yesterday morning but the sun was shining bright.

I love the glow in that second picture. It looks almost Autumnish.
Very unique nesting dolls.
