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

Snow and ice

Well 15 degrees, snow and ice kept me from walking in town this morning.
So it was getting my steps done inside.
🌨    ⛄️
I had a bunch of little jobs to do around the house and got them done this morning.

The puzzle got worked on today and Ken is doing a good share of it this time.

I haven't done any Christmas decorating yet but did make a Christmas card list out.
Not much but it is a start!!

I've done some more work on the Christmas counted cross stitch ornament 
and read some more too. 
Liking my new reading glasses - I do much better with two different pair.

Decided to have pizza for supper again this week on Thursday 
instead of waiting for Friday.
We both were in the mood for pizza.

Without outside walking have no pictures to share today.
I should have saved one of those sunrise pictures from yesterday
to post today.

Hope your day was a happy one.
Thanks for stopping by.
HappyK🙂

We give thanks to God not because of how we feel 
but because of who He is.

I'm sure glad you are not walking in this weather!! I know, how about a photo of the partially finished puzzle?

Hi Karen! So glad your new glasses are working out. I mailed my Christmas cards out at the beginning of the week. I hope you got the one I mailed to you. See you again tomorrow.

We were supposed to get some snow and ice last night, but did not wake up to any so I was very glad of that. Can't wait to see the ornament you are doing.

We have been hit with a big storm here too. Sorry you missed your outside walk again.
That's a great quote!

Our postal workers are still on strike so no cards coming or going this year.
I'm glad you like your new glasses.

I have been dragging my feet on doing any holiday decorating, but with colder weather here, I am thinking about it. It's good that you have room for walking inside.

Hello,
I am not doing much decorating. I have a couple of mini pre-lit trees. I did write out my Chistmas cards and all my presents to the grands are wrapped and ready to go. I am slowly working on a puzzle. It is too cold and windy out there. Take care, have a great day!

That temperature alone would have kept me inside but the ice would have been the clincher. Decorating around here has been slow going.

LOVE the Ann Voscamp quote! I also had to walk inside yesterday mainly due to high winds here ineastern NY. But we only have a little dusting of snow so at least the roads are walkable if the wind dies down.
PUZZLES! i haven't done a puzzle since like the mid 2000s when our children were very young. they used to like to help. I should think about getting some for winter evenings with hubby. Problem is...where do we do it??

This sounds like another lovely day at your house, pizza, puzzles, and Ken.

We just finished our pizza tonight for supper. Raining again all day. We have Storm Darragh coming in tonight with more heavy rain and gale force winds.

My husband asked me at breakfast if I knew how your weather was. We've been seeing all the snow in that area on the weather channel. So I'll give him this report and hope you can get outside soon. Take care and stay warm! Hugs, Diane
