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

At home again

The snow continues here in western Maryland 🌨️ so my walking continues inside. 
Supposed to end sometime over night. 


It's a winter wonderland and so pretty but I sure do miss walking in town. ☃️

Monday, so got the sheets washed, dried and put back on the bed.
Did some weekly cleaning.
I have a Dyson Stick vacuum and it kept cutting on and off so it was time to take it apart and give the filters a good cleaning. 
I hope that's the problem!!
The sock filter is out and drying and has to dry 24 hrs before putting it back in.

Still haven't gone outside to clear the driveway.


Waiting till tomorrow when hopefully the snow will have stopped.
Will probably have to use the snow blower and shovel because the tractor still won't start.

We've made a very good start on the puzzle!!
As usual I did some reading and knitting this afternoon too.

Out the back door.


Simple supper tonight of hot dogs and baked beans.

Hope your Monday has been a good one.
Thanks for coming by.

Your day sounds much like mine. I did ride my stationary bike today, but much prefer a long walk outside. Bitterly cold here in KY, with ice and not a decent thaw all week long.

That looks like a lot of snow.
Our winter storm brought a little bit of snow and a little bit of ice. Thankfully the power wasn't interrupted.
Hope your vacuum is back in business soon.

Gosh, that is a LOT of snow. Oh no, both your vacuum and the tractor broke, and of course at the worst time.

Dear Karen, your photos are gorgeous. Your dinner sounds great 👍

Looks a lot like MI! Sorry the tractor isn't starting though. Bob had an electronic lock go bad on his shop door, probably because of the extreme cold, so he was out fixing that. Not nice weather for that kind of thing.
We had leftover chili for supper.
I have a dyson stick vac too which I love. Mine started acting the same way and the issue was the battery wasn't charging well. I ordered a replacement battery from Amazon (Not even Dyson brand). I think it cost about $30 and it's been working without trouble for over a year. Much cheaper than a new vacuum!
I hope your filter cleaning works, but if not, this is a possiblilty.
