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

Some sunshine


 Weather was calm, cloudy, and temperature was 46 degrees.
Sunrise 6:40
I'm liking these mornings when it isn't dark anymore.

Headed over to the library first thing and put a book down the drop.

Next it was over to the DG Market and a walk around the industrial park.

The chickens made me smile today as I walked around the ball park loop.


Lastly I walked around the cemetery up on the hill.

There were two fisherman at the pond.
Also at the pond was Bill and he was just started to put the fountain
back in the middle of the pond.
I stopped to talk to him and was going to wait around and watch
him paddle out to the center with the fountain but it was taking
awhile and I wanted to get home.
Perhaps tomorrow I'll take a picture of the fountain.


☁️    🌷    🙂

It was still cloudy after breakfast but it wasn't supposed to rain
till this evening so hung the clothes on the line to dry.
A good decision because the sun eventually came out and it was nice.

I got started on this weeks house cleaning in the morning.

Warmed up enough that I actually sat out on the deck out back
and read awhile and watched the deer.

I should have been out picking up deadfall for my fence or
picking rocks for my dry river bed but it just felt nice sitting
in the sunshine.

We didn't feel much like cooking today so we just took
kaiser rolls and made little pizzas for supper.

Happy Monday 
Thanks for visiting.
🙂Happy❤️

It really is nice to have it light in the morning! It's also nice to see your fountain going in.
It was nice here today, snow is predicted for tomorrow though.
PS - I just started reading Counted with the Stars. I think you recommended it if I remember right. I'm enjoying it!

Hi Karen. Glad you had a warm sunny day where you are. Sometimes, the most important thing to do is sit in the sun and read! See you again tomorrow.

I love kaiser rolls, so the little pizzas sound really good. The chickens look like they have been very active!

Please elaborate on your dry river bed. Sounds interesting.

Sounds like a lovely morning. I'm curious: what makes you want to walk in an industrial park? I love drying the laundy outside too. It always smells so nice.

Sometimes just sitting in the sun enjoying the day is what you need. Those other jobs will wait.

We are having a mostly sunny week and I'm trying to be outside enjoying it as much as possible. We have a small fountain in front and today is going to be the day it get plugged in once again.

Those chickens are entertaining.
It is wonderful to sit in the sunshine and relax after a long winter. Glad you were able to do that.
