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

Milk Bottle Monday

Sunset last night seen from my front porch.


The temperature was a warm 50 degrees this morning for walking.
There was no wind and it was cloudy.
Sunrise was at 7:05

Walked up and down the right side of town and as I passed the library dropped a book down the slot.

Then it was around the cemetery on the hill, the ball park loop and then the other cemetery.


Saw RuthAnne out walking her two dogs.
She has become a regular now and I've noticed she has lost some weight and she was delighted that I had noticed.

The man who drives the propane truck through town waves at me most mornings.
Today he was stopped at a house as I walked by and he stopped me to talk a bit.

Morning Walk Steps 10,296

☁️    🦃    🙂

Got the sheets washed and hung out on the line.
We had to go to Lowe's again this morning and while we were out that way stopped in at Walmart to pick up a few things.

I've finished all the weave-it squares on the latest baby blanket and have the first row sewn.  

This weeks milk bottle
Number 5
Holds a quart
Writing is the same on both sides


That's all I have for today.
Hope your Monday was a good one and thanks for stopping by.

I've never heard of this dairy company. The sky is gorgeous with pastels. And the leaves are beautiful! The red one even has a thin white border all around the edge.

You have lots of friend in your town! I probably missed the post where you told where and how you got all those milk bottles. Where do you display them in your home? You are a great example to RuthAnne. It's very positive that she is walking and losing some weight. I hope you have a great week! See you again soon.

I have no idea why my comment came up as anonymous. Sorry about that Karen. This is Deb in Utah. I will see if I can fix the problem. :-)

I think I am commenting as myself now. My computer must have updated and logged me out. See you again tomorrow.

What a pretty sunset!
Good for RuthAnne!
Still some pretty leaves around.
I really like that milk bottle. Friesland is a province in the Netherlands where a lot of my ancestors came from. Many immigrated to the area I live in and near me is an area called Vriesland after that spot in "the old country".

Well, how cute is that milk bottle? Gee I always liked them but could never find them in antique shops. I do have some miniature milk bottles - 2-3 inches. If I don’t forget, I’ll take a picture and post it on my blog. 🍶

Another nice milk bottle.
Aren't leaves just so pretty at this time of the year? Whether they are tiny and yellow or bigger and red they make me happy.

Such a pretty sky in that photo. I read your step count for the morning and couldn't help thinking "that was a short walk"...lol

Love those sweetgum leaves...I just today noticed at Walmart there are some young ginkgo trees! I am so excited to see them.

Never seen a milk bottle with a shape like that. Rather unique!

I love the photo of the leaves.

That sunset is gorgeous. There was one morning this week that the sunrise was beautiful also. Such a lovely shade of pink filling the sky.
