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

The missing needle 🪡

59 degrees this morning when I walked.
There was just a little breeze and
some sun and clouds.

Up the hill to the cemetery and walked around it a couple of times.
Then I walked over to the long barn and walked around it.
This is down the far end of it.


 Just a few cows in the barn and they are enjoying some hay.


With the new road in I now have another loop to walk around.
I've started calling it the new road loop.

The little cemetery it is by, is down the right road and on the left. 


You can see the back of the cemetery in the middle of the picture.
(this is a different cemetery than the ones I walk around)


From here I walked to the ball park, around town, and the other
cemetery where I saw a couple of deer.
A doe and a fawn who has just about lost all of her spots.


I usually end my walk over here at the pond.


Quiet around town this morning, didn't see anyone else out.

😊    🥾    🌤️

Washing sheet day once again and glad for a sunny day.

I lost the long needle that I use for making weave-its.
Thought I might have left it at the library on Saturday
so went to the library when it opened to check.
No, it wasn't there so thought it must be at the house somewhere.
Ken helped me look all over.
When he lifted up my chair there it was sitting on the floor.
Oh happy day!
In the mean time Ken went on line and ordered me a
couple of needles.
At least now I'll have a spare.

Starting reading my next book and
did a little knitting.

Hope you had a wonderful Monday.
Thanks for stopping by.
HappyK 🙂

Two cemeteries in such a small place is unusual! Is each one city owned and church property? I always love your fountain photos!

It looks like a beautiful morning there. It was rainy all day here. Glad you found your needle. Sometimes I spend more time looking for things misplaced than I do actual crafting

Granny Marigold said...

That's a good idea...having a couple of the needles that you use for weave-its.

You have some beautiful scenes during your walks. Glad you will have some spare needles.

It's always nice to have a different route to walk on and this looks like another pretty one. Glad you found that needle!

I am glad you found your needle, Karen! I love the Scripture illustration at the end of your post.
Your photos are lovely! Seeing the fawn and doe as well as the cows made me smile big time!

Hello, Karen. I am glad you have a new loop to walk!

Your pictures from your morning walk are beautiful...as always.
Today was perfect for hanging laundry out on the line! Actually, yesterday and today both were beautiful days. I canned corn today.

So glad that Ken found your long needle...and that he went ahead and ordered you a couple more. He's a good husband. :)

Nice pond photo, it looks peaceful there. Glad you found your needle. My wife thought she lost one of her needles once but it was under the cushion on the couch.

For such a small town you have a lot of cemeteries. There's a town here, Colma, Ca that has more dead people than living.
