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

2 more cards

Winter came back for the day.
33 degrees this morning and windy, but the sun was shining.

Walked up the hill and around the cemetery and over to see the cows again.
So many of them in a row today eating.


From there I walked around town and over to the ball park to walk that loop.
Then it was back through the other side of town.
Getting back to the pond there were quite a few work trucks gathered together.
Must be going to a big job somewhere.


Continued walking around the other cemetery and by the time I got back to the parking lot all the trucks were gone.

I finally saw Bill (town worker) again and we must have just been missing each other all this time because he's been around and all is well with him. 

😊    🐄    🚶‍♀️    ☀️

The usual weekly house work has begun again this Monday.
Feel like I just washed the sheets a couple days ago.

Have two more diamond art cards completed with just 4 more to go.
I'll have to buy some more to do.





Had a little time to do some reading and knitting this afternoon.

A happy Monday to you and thanks for stopping by.

Wednesday

It was raining this morning when I started walking so had my rain gear on.
The temperature was 54 degrees, so was a little warm wearing my raincoat.
After a while the rain stopped so walked over to the Jeep and dropped my raincoat off.


It drizzled a couple times by not enough to get me wet.

Walked up and down the main road and the side streets.
Went around the ball park a couple of times and then around both of the cemeteries.

The same fisherman was at the pond again.

Pretty quiet around town and just took the one picture.

🙂    🌧    🌷    ☁️

This morning we went to church for Edd's funeral.  A sad time but happy too as we remembered good times with Edd.  He was quite a character and church just won't be the same without him. Everyone has an Edd Story! 😊
It is such a comfort to know he was Saved many years ago and now he is with Jesus.

Since we were in the area before coming home we made a quick trip through Walmart to get a few things.

This afternoon I finished the diamond art card I started yesterday.
This makes 6 of them and there are 6 more in the set.


Finished reading Murphy's Law by Rhys Bowen, the first in a mystery series.
Liked it and have reserved book number 2 at the library.

That's it for today.
Hope you had a wonderful Wednesday.
Thanks for visiting.
HappyK 😊

Walking outside

Good outside weather for my morning walk. 
It was cloudy but 34 degrees and no wind.
Sunrise 7:21

Just down from my driveway on the way to town three deer casually walked across the street.
I guess they know I stop for them. 🦌🙂

Had a book and a DVD to bring to the library so walked there first and put them down the drop.

Then through town over to the DG Market and I walked up and down the road behind the store.

Continued back to town and around the ball park loop and up to the cemetery on the hill and walked around there.


Coming back from there I encountered a couple of geese walking down the road going over to the pond.  There were a few more already at the pond.


By then I had enough steps so headed back to the Jeep and home.
Sure was nice to be walking outside after two days in side!!

🙂    ☁️    🚶‍♀️   🦌

After breakfast we hopped in the truck and drove to church.
It was Blanket day for me but Ken had to go to church too so we went together.
A small turnout with only 8 of us there but still it was a good time and fun fellowship.
While I was at Blankets Ken had some work do to on the cutter that we use at Fingerprints.
Also hooked up the church trailer to the truck because tomorrow we head up to Bedford.

Stopped at Walmart since we were in the area and picked up some more bird seed and a few other things.

Home 12:30 and had lunch.
I made grilled cheese sandwiches.

This afternoon ended up making another Diamond Art card. 
This one a butterfly.


Supper tonight is Chicken Strips in the air fryer and a salad.

We ended up having a nice sunny day.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you had a wonderful day.

Ginny and Deb - Not keeping any of the diamond art cards.  I got them to make for birthday cards for special people.  They come blank inside so can write my own words in them.

Wednesday

Though it wasn't snowing this morning and the sun did come out it was a bit too cold for me to go walking at 10 degrees.
So it was a walking inside day again.
Warmed up during the day and melting going on so I'm sure I'll be outside walking tomorrow.

Did a load of laundry and just the basic every day house stuff.

Tomorrow at Blankets it is my turn to give the devotional so worked on that.

Then the rest of the day I made another diamond art card.
This one took me hours.
I like doing it and it is quite addicting for me.
Thought this one looked nice and springy.



Nothing else really to blog about so this post will be a short one.

Thanks for stopping by.
It was a lovely day and hope you enjoyed your day too.

Feeding the birds

This morning it was 16 degrees, windy, snowy, and slippery.
The weather had me walking in the basement today.
Picture taken out the basement window.


Did my usual morning routine and got a little more house cleaning done.

A trip out back to feed the birds.





After lunch we were outside clearing the snow, Ken on the tractor and me with the shovel where the tractor can't go.

When I came back in I made one of the diamond art cards.



Made Stuffed Peppers for supper and they are in the oven now so we'll be eating
very soon.

Hope you enjoyed your Tuesday.
Thanks for stopping by.

Diamond Art

A mix of sun and clouds this morning as I walked
around my town.
The temperature was 63 and calm.
Sunrise 6:27

On my way to town I had to stop to let a doe and her
twin fawns cross the road who were in no hurry to do so.

First walked around the cemetery on the hill.
Then around town and over to the ball park and around there.
Some more around town and then lastly around the other cemetery.

A few cloud pictures this morning.


 


The only person I saw was Bill the town worker who keeps
our town neat and tidy.

I can see the baby chicks getting bigger already.
They were so cute running all over the yard.

🌤    🌸    🥾

Left immediately after breakfast to go to Walmart for food shopping.
Wanted to go early because I had to be back in time to go
to the library by 11:30 to do Diamond Art.
I had never heard of Diamond Art until three different blogger
friends talked about it.
So when the library offered a class I signed up.
15 of us showed up for it and what a fun time we all had.
I was surprised and happy to see my little friend Kinsley and her mom there.

Here we are working on a our little projects.


I made a butterfly.

Mia, the librarian took this picture and sent it to me.
Sophie, Mikie, me, and Mia (not the librarian).
Mikie and Mia also come on Saturday for Needleworks.


I stuck my butterfly in one of the African Violets over the kitchen sink.


 Now I have yet another thing to do to keep me busy! :)

That's going to be it for today.
Hope you enjoyed your Tuesday.
Thanks for stopping by.
