62 degrees this morning with a mix of sun and clouds for walking.
Walked around one cemetery and then the other.
Down by the farm pond behind the Drane house one of the bulls
is getting a drink.
I saw both horses this morning too.
Haven't seen them for a while.
Next I walked down the main road toward home a ways turned around
came back to town and stopped at the Jeep to pick up a DVD.
Continued to the library and put it down the drop.
Then walked over to the ball park and walked that loop a coupe of times.
I spotted 4 baby chicks.
3 of them here
and one little chick that was on the wrong side of the fence.
If you look closely you can see the other 3 of them at the right edge of the picture.
I tried to catch the one to put her back but couldn't catch her.
No one else out this morning that I saw anyway.
😊 🥾 🌤
Did a load of laundry and out on the line to dry.
Got them off the line just in time before it started raining this afternoon.
I baked another batch of cookies this morning.
This time lemon ones for a friend who has a birthday coming up
and loves anything lemon.
These were super easy made with lemon cake mix.
Just add 2 eggs and 1/2 cup of oil to the cake mx.
I added a small amount (1/4 teaspoon) of lemon extract.
Drop by tablespoons on cookie sheet and bake 14 minutes
in a 350 degree oven.
Finished knitting my pink slippers last evening and
sewed them together today.
I got the cow counted cross stitch kit out that I bought a little while ago.
This is so nice.
A nice big in color chart.
The floss already sorted.
I got the cloth onto the frame.
I've never used a square frame like this before.
Only used the round hoops.
So far like it.
Did a little bit of the cross stitch just to get started.
Hard starting with white because I could hardly see it.
So much easier with the dark color.
Here's a close up to see it better.
It is only 7 by 9 1/2 inches so not a big project and it shouldn't take me
all that long.
Nice to get started on a cross stitch again, it's been a while.
That's all for today.
Hope your day was a happy one.
Thanks for stopping by.

The way you captured the light on the red barn and the plowed rows of earth are so pretty . . . great photo.
I did a cross stitch back 50 years ago when Steve and I were first married. I remember it being so time consuming and never did another. I guess that's why I like quilting . . . it took be around 6 weeks of spare time to do my little 8inch square of cross stitching.
I do like how the light and shade/shadow shows in your first two photographs... lovely.
All the best Jan
After a couple of days having trouble solving the Wordle I had success 2 days in a row getting it in three tries. It's a fun challenge.
Those chicks are so cute. One seems like a rebel ( can't stay on the right side of the fence :))
Hi Karen, I always enjoy your posts and lovely photos. I am happy to see that you are doing a cross stitch in a cow 🐄 theme. Your first two photos are beautiful and I am also glad to see the chickens 🐔 😊
