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

A Chilly Start

 It was a chilly start to the day this morning.
35 degrees when I got to town to walk.
It was clear with just a little breeze.
Sunrise 7:21

Walked up and down the main road and all around town.
Then it was around the ball park.
No chickens, they were all in their house keeping warm.

Continued over to the cemetery up the hill.


When I came back down the hill I saw Ken's truck in the parking lot at the doctors. 
He had to have his yearly routine blood work done.
I was in the pond parking lot when Ken came over in the truck.
He was on his way to drop off the truck for an oil change at
Art Butler's which is a couple miles up the road.
There he goes.


I told him I was just going to walk around the other cemetery
and then I would come and pick up him.
You can see there was a light frost this morning.


🥾    ☀️    🎃 

On this chilly morning oatmeal was my choice for breakfast.

Book club day at the library.
The book for discussion was 
The Frozen River by by Ariel Lawhon
I had read the book back in April and knew I liked it but didn't
remember all of the details.
Everyone liked it.
Picked up some books from the library while I was there
that we had reserved.
3 for Ken and 2 for me.

Took the clothes off the line and got them folded and put away.
Then we went to pick up the truck.
As we we driving down our road, Jack the UPS truck driver
stopped us and gave us a package.
Said it would save him a trip up the road.
You know you live in a small town when that happens. 🙂

Hope you enjoyed your Wednesday.
Thanks for stopping by.
❤️ HappyK 🤗

Oatmeal on a chilly morning like we had really hits the spot. Praying all is well with Ken's blood work when he gets the results.

I am loving your photos! The beautiful tree in the first photo, the line of brilliant yellow trees in the next photo, and the spookily beautiful frost image!

That first photo is just gorgeous!
I'm thinking a bowl of oatmeal sounds very good and I need to have some for breakfast soon.

That first photo is wonderful...I hope people clicked to open in a new tab! I did know the joy of a small town...back in the day we were waiting on a computer and wanted to go do something...we knew he delivered to business down town first...so went down there and got it from him!

That's great that your UPS driver recognizes you. We haven't had our first frost yet.

Love the photos and the walk. About thepackage delivery:
You know you live in a small town when that happens..... Yes things are different in a small town. Ours was small once. We noticd awhile back we received a letter after it made several trips around town. The address was off only two houses. At one time the mail man would have known us, and corrected it immediately.
YOu guys are fortunate. Good stuff. Love from our back yard.
