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

Molasses Cookies


44 degrees this morning when I started walking and sunny.
49 degrees when I got back to the Jeep.
Sunrise 6:41

Didn't see anyone else out around town this morning.

Walked all around town and then over to the ball park and walked
around there a couple. of times.
More around town and then up to the one cemetery.
Walk was over before I got to walk around the other cemetery.


Oh no, look what I saw already.
There were only a few on the ground now but it won't be long
before the green of summer will be gone.
I know many of you are looking forward to Fall but not me.
I'm wanting summer a little bit longer. :)


🌻    ☀️    🥾

Ken and I were talking about molasses cookies yesterday
so I baked some today.

 Didn't do much of anything else today.
Have a bit of a sore throat and not much energy.
Sat out back on the deck in the sunshine and watched the deer.
The high today was 64 degrees.

Sure hope I feel fine in the morning because tomorrow and
Friday are Fingerprint work days at church.

Not going to church this evening.
Don't want to pass my germs around.

Hope your Wednesday was a happy one.
Thanks for stopping by.
❤️ HappyK 🤗

...Karen, I hope that you will feel better soon!

Hi Karen, sorry you are under the weather. No pun intended. Homemade chicken soup, tea and rest can help a lot. Tea with honey, and onions in the soup especially. As for the weather the best thing to do is to embrace it, as we cannot change it or decide when it will change.
Take good care of yourself.

Hi Karen. Feel better soon. It is best to rest and take it easy for a few days. See you again soon!

We have had pretty much the same weather. The leaves are beautiful! Can fall be here so soon? I have had a sore throat as well. Turns out to be fall allergy starting early. I hope yours does not turn into anything more!

So sorry you''re not feeling well. I hope it's nothing that hangs on.
I was going through photographs the other day and came across a photo of me standing beside your red Corvette - the day we met for lunch. What fun!
Have a great rest of the week.

Yep, the leaves are beginning to change here too. Autumn is barreling down the lane towards us, isn't it. Feel better soon, my friend. Love, Andrea xoxo
