It was a frosty morning with a temperature of 37 degrees when I arrived in town for my morning walk at 6:30.
Another clear morning with lots of stars.
There was a mist hanging over the pond and a couple of places had foggy patches.
Once the sun rose and came over the mountain it was sunny.
Walked up and down the main street in town andand some side roads and made a stop at the library to drop off a DVD.
Then around the cemetery on the hill.
As I walked around it a few times one bull in the Drane house pasture stood perfectly still watching me.
I went down to the fence to talk to him and take his picture.
He never did move but as I talked to him his ears moved around a lot.
Walking down from the cemetery here.
Next I walked back down the road towards home a ways, turned around and lastly walked around the other cemetery.
Got all my steps in without walking around the ball park.
Didn't see anyone else out.

☀️ 🎃 🍁 🙂
We left the house after breakfast to do a few errands down in Oakland.
Put our voting ballots in the drop off box.
Next stop was Lowe's.
While Ken got some pipe I went and looked at the washing machines.
Though mine is still working if noisily it won't last much longer.
I found the one that looked the simplest without any bells and whistles. (Amana)
Reviews aren't so great though.
Stopped for gas and then before getting home went to the library to pick up a book I reserved.
The White Robin by Miss Read.
It wasn't in any library in MD, so it came in the mail from out of state from Allentown, PA.
How nice that Connie went the extra mile to get the book for me.
It comes with a warning - no renews and if it is lost or damaged the fine could be $75 or higher!!!
My book club met today but I didn't go.
Didn't read the book.
After lunch I baked a white cake with vanilla icing.
It was a box cake but I made the icing.
Usually make chocolate icing with a white cake so will see how this goes.
Cake instead of ice cream tonight.
Also made Sweet and Sour Cucumbers to go with the hot dogs we had for supper.
Went for another walk in the woods.
Happy Thursday and thank you for stopping by.

A frosty morning and some fabulous photographs.
All the best Jan
...the frost pictures are beautiful, but I'm not ready for frost.
Is this your porch? So pretty and fall-like. The trees in your first photo are stunningly gorgeous!!!! It does look like frost on the grass in the photo with the bull.
You had another beautiful Fall walk today. It's nice how the bull seemed to pose for you.
Your porch looks good!
Better not lose that book, that's quite a fine.
So, did you buy the washing machine or are you looking more. I don't have the bells and whistles on mine either. It's a Maytag.
I wish you luck on your quest for a washing machine. My old neighbors went to local appliance store, as in not a big box store, and got a washer like our old ones...the ones you can sit the depth of water.
I love that photo under the bull..those trees are so beautiful And cannot believe the frost you have!
Enjoyed the bull in the field photo. I like the porches decked out with fall decor, too. New appliances are an interesting challenge these days. Hope you enjoy your cake.
Beautiful photos. It looks like you have way more fall color than we do here.
Sweet and sour cucumbers sound really good.
The trees are looking beautiful. Great shot of the bull and fog.
The mums and pumpkin look pretty. Take care, have a wonderful weekend.
The fog and bull, what a great shot.
We had a chance of frost overnight but it did not happen. Still getting much cooler at night and during the day, so soon it will be time to start up our furnace again. Either that cow was not happy you were taking his picture, or just being curious. Anyway, a nice photo of him looking at you. Janice
It was chilly here too....7C or 44F which is not as cold as you had though still the coldest morning so far this October.
I think you'll enjoy reading The White Robin. I know I read it twice ( a couple of years apart).
