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

ABC Friday

In the middle of the night a thunder storm came rolling by.
A very loud thunder clap woke us both up.
Still raining when I got up at 6:00 but by 6:30 it had stopped so no rain for walking, just cloudy.
It was 35 degrees and calm.

Walked around town and then both cemeteries and the ball park loop.
So nice to be able to walk anywhere I want to again.

The little stream behind the ball park was pretty full with muddy water.


A quiet early walk around town.
Didn't see anyone!!

☁️    🥾    😊

Got the weekly house chores finished this morning.

I made some chocolate pudding and we will have that tonight for our snack instead of ice cream.

With all the snow melting and the rain our little waterfall is flowing.


Reading a good book, The Rose Arbor by Rhys Bowen.
Ended up reading longer than I intended too! 😊

Happy to say Ken got the tractor going again today.
Now we are set for the next snow fall.


MY ABC'S

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Sometimes pictures, sometimes just words but it will be something about me.

V is for Victory
I have Victory in Jesus

"V" Is For Victory

"V" is for victory!
Sing it out, tis a glorious word
"V" is for victory!
It is ours through Christ our Lord.
Some days may be dark and drear,
In Christ the ways all clear.
For we have victory,
Victory in Christ our Lord.


The chorus of the hymn Victory In Jesus.

O victory in Jesus, 
my Saviour forever.
He sought me and bought me, 
with His redeeming blood.
He loved me ere I knew Him, 
and all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory 
beneath the cleansing flood. 

I Corinthians 15:57
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Hope you had a fabulous Friday.
Thanks for coming by.

Hi Karen, glad you had your walk and that Ken got the tractor 🚜 going.

...Karen, quickly the snow can come and quickly it can go!

The waterfall is adorable. I bet the birds will love it, too. Now I want chocolate pudding.

Hope the snow doesn't return. I like your little waterfall, it's flowing nicely.

First of all, I love your Friday ABC edition today, for truly it is in Jesus that we have victory.
Would you believe that I slept through that storm? Carroll heard it, but I did not. I enjoyed seeing the water flowing over your waterfall. I love the sound of water cascading like that.
The Cheat River had plenty of rapids going yesterday when we went to Kingwood.
Glad that Ken has the tractor going again. According to what Carroll saw on AccuWeather our area is in the range for heavy snow, so I can only imagine what you will get if it actually comes to pass.
Take care, my sweet friend. xx

Your little waterfall looks so pretty. Glad Ken got the tractor running. It's snowing again by us too.
Chocolate pudding sounds good, haven't made it for some time!
Victory in Jesus is a good one!

I haven't heard that song in a long, long time. They used to sing it in the little Baptist church I attended with a cousin. As soon as I read the words the tune came flowing into my mind. Happy Walking this weekend- Hugs- Diana
