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

Sitting on the Porch


 37 degrees and once the sun rose it was mostly sunny.
Sunrise 7:32
Morning Walk Steps 11,022

Started walking under the street lights on the main road and
up and down the side streets.


Then over to the cemeteries and walked around both of them
a couple of times.

This is behind the barn across from the Drane house.


I didn't see any people out walking.

One thing I did take notice this morning was hearing all the birds chirping.
That is a nice spring sound!!

One more sign of spring is all the toys out in this yard which means 
that kids are outside playing.
The house is across the street from the lower cemetery and a
neighbor of KitKat.

Another nice sunny day.
I could get used to this.
But I'm sure we'll get another day or two of snow.
Certainly was nice to be able to hang the laundry outside on the line once again.

Washed a couple more windows this morning.

After lunch I finally got the filthy Jeep washed.
Once again it is nice and shiny.

After that I collected some more stones and put them in the
dry rock stream out front that I'm making.

It was actually nice enough to sit out on the front porch.
  I sat out there and knitted the two rows for the day 
on the temperature blanket.
Today I got to use a green color called Apple.

Friday is pizza day but we were both in the mood for it,
so we're having it a couple of days early.

And so ends another lovely sunny day.
Hope yours was sunny as well.
Thanks for stopping by
🙂HappyK❤️

GrannyM - I wash my windows with Norwex cloths.  No need for a product, you just use water.  Cloths are kind of expensive but you never have to buy another one.  I've been using the same cloth for years.  No product, so no streaks.  
Here's a LINK.

That is a nice sound. Yesterday I heard birds chirping in the middle of the night! Maybe I was dreaming. Do they do that?

Hello, Friend. This was a glorious day! I grabbed my sweater as I headed out the door to the post office this afternoon, but I didn't keep it on long

I love hearing the birds chirping in the morning also. It always makes me smile.

Your first picture is so lovely. I always enjoy seeing reflection pictures.

Yay for porch sitting!

After the warm day yesterday when I had to be inside the Town Hall all day, temps today did not get much above freezing. Tomorrow more of the same with a chance of snow overnight. I too have been hearing the birds. They know spring is almost here.

It looks and sounds like a wonderful walk! Hearing the birds chirp is always so sweet. I haven't heard them here yet. It's nice to see toys outside again too.
I use Norwex cloths too. They are really good!

Birds chirping away in the early morning is a nice way to begin your day, if you're already up. :)

Hi Karen! This is a lovely, upbeat post, and I love it! My favorite picture is the one showing the reflection of the town buildings in the pond. It's also nice to see all the toys from little ones playing outside. I will check out those Norwex clothes. I have never heard of them before. Pizza for dinner sounds good. Glad you had another nice day! See you again tomorrow.

I use Norwex cloths for dusting but wasn't aware of the ones for washing windows. Thanks for the link and info.
I like the watery reflection picture.

When I was getting into the car this morning, it had not started raining yet but there was wind - some birds were in the trees, and some were flying. There was quite a commotion with the sounds of birds alerting the incoming storm. It was cool. 🦅
