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

Gravestone, Blooms, and Fingerprints

68 degrees this morning when I walked.
It started out a bit foggy again but this time no 
sun arrived and it stayed cloudy.

On the way to town I saw 2 deer down road from my house
and 2 more on the side of the main road to town.

Walked first around the lower cemetery,
then around town and over to the ball park and around there.
Then back to the cemetery on the hill and around
there a few times.

 A quiet morning and didn't see any one else out.

I took photos of some of the blooms I saw around town.

Another workday at church doing Fingerprints so left
right after breakfast.
Another low turnout but got good work done and had fun doing it.
The second work day we just work from 9 - 12 or so.
On the way home we stopped at McDonalds and had
some crispy chicken strips.
We ate them parked by the lake.

Rained this afternoon.
Still haven't had to water any plants.
We've been getting a good mix of rain and sun.

Friday, so once again we had homemade pizza for supper.

Hope you enjoyed your Friday and
Thanks for stopping by.
🤗 HappyK ❤️

No Walk

 My Achilles tendon has been giving me some pain lately so 
skipped my walk today to give it a rest.
It's a foggy rainy morning so figured it was a good day for it.

Took this picture from my front door.


Fridays Engraved Gravestone 


Finished up the house cleaning for the week.

Noticed another mistake I made on the prayer shawl that I'm
knitting and had to back knit 3 rows again.
Happy to say that now it is back on track
and I knitted quite a while this afternoon.
I can't believe how many times I've had to rip part of it out
 because it is such an easy pattern.
I do believe since it is a prayer shawl the devil must behind it!

Each day is pretty much the same for us old people but I do 
look forward to Fridays and having our homemade pizza!!🍕

That's all for today.
Hope your Friday was a good one.
Thanks for popping in for a visit.
🙂HappyK❤️

Debby - It would be pretty hard for us not to have brush or trees taller than 5 feet living on 21 acres in the woods! 🌲🌳🙂

Gnome Garden

 I forgot to post my calendar picture for May yesterday
so here it is a day late.
It's the calendar I got for free at the lumber yard in town.


🌸    🌸

Walking weather this morning was windy, cloudy, and 60 degrees.
Pretty nice walking weather.

Walked around both of the cemeteries first.


These signs were all around the town pond this morning.
Looks like tomorrow morning is fish with a cop day.


I walked down the road towards home for about a 1/2 mile or so
and then turned around and came back to town.

Headed over to the post office to mail a birthday card.

Spotted this gnome garden on the way.
This is a new addition to their yard because I haven't seen it before.
It is the biggest one I've ever seen!
I spent a little time looking at it up close.




From the gnome garden I went to the ball park and walked around
there before going back to the Jeep and home.

I saw John out walking Prim.
Stopped to talk because haven't seen John in many months.
He's just been walking at different times.

Also saw a new person walking around the ball park.
She was on the other side so couldn't talk to her but we did wave.
Maybe I'll see her again.
The other new people I've seen lately have never come back.

Here is this Fridays engraved gravestone. (3)


☁️    🙂    🥾

We made a trip to the dump.
Ken had cleaned out some stuff in the garage so we had a pick-up truck load.

When we got back I stayed outside and worked out back.
I put deadfall and weeds on one of the natural fences out back.


Then I filled the tractor bucket with rocks.


The rocks this time are for a path I'm making and want to line it with rocks.
After a couple of hours of that I was ready to quit and sit on the porch and read.

Hope your Friday was a good one.
We had homemade pizza for supper so it was a very good one.🍕
Thanks for visiting.
🙂HappyK❤️

Ginny - No, the picture from yesterday of the sunrise was NOT taken out back of my house.  I was in the lower cemetery looking at the long barn.

Work Day 2

 A cloudy morning and 55 degrees when I walked.
Sunrise 6:24

Walked around both of the cemeteries, the ball park loop,
and around town.


Happened to be passing by when Kinsley was getting to day care
so I got a hug from her again.
A good way to start the day and she gives good hugs.🤗

Saw a man walking his dog around the ball park who I've never seen before.
Rebecca was out walking, this time without Leo.
3 fishermen around the pond.

As I was walking around the cemetery on the hill I was aware
of all the sounds I could hear.
The chirping birds.
A killdeer calling.
Some geese flying overhead.
A rooster crowing.
The fountain in the pond.
Cows mooing and the bulls calling.
A barking dog.
In the distance a tractor.

How thankful I am to have good hearing!!

Had a quick breakfast and headed out to church for another
day of doing Fingerprints.
Another good turnout and we for the two days work we put together,
stapled, cut, and boxed up a total of
11,275 Romans books. 

Stopped at the library to pick up a couple of DVD's.
We got home a little after 3:30, just in time for me to get the pizza dough made.

 That's it for this post
Hope your Friday was sunny and bright.
Thanks for visiting.
🙂HappyK❤️

Deb - For the roasted vegetables I use whatever I have.  Usually potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, and carrots.  I've also used bell peppers, parsnips, and rutabaga.

Outside on a sunny morn


 A mix of sun and clouds this morning, calm and 48 degrees
which was great walking weather.
A couple of deer crossed the road in front of me on my way to town.

First walked around one of the cemeteries.
Then down the road towards home and back.
Around the second cemetery.
Up and down side streets.

Kermit has removed the concrete steps and I guess the stoop
will be next to go.
Wonder what will happen to the door.
Maybe he's going to build an addition of a sun room/porch.


Across the street this house is getting some work done.
At one time is was painted purple.
The work is slow going but it will look so much better when done.
Nice to see the main street in town looking nicer.


This little spring flower has worked so hard to bloom I thought 
it deserved a photo!


Just me out walking early this morning.

Here's this Fridays Engraved Gravestone.


🙂    🌤    🌷

Made us French toast for breakfast.
Did a couple loads of laundry and hung them out to dry.

Sunny and temperature in the 70's so it was too nice to stay
inside, so we went out to get some work done around Happy Trails.
Ken with the chain saw cutting up some trees that had fallen down.
I raked the 🍂 🍁 away from the house unto a tarp and then
dragged them to another part of the property.
Made quite a few trips.
Also collected some more stones and added them to the dry run out front.
We worked outside till lunch time.

This afternoon did a couple of house chores and then it was
porch sitting time.

Today I get to knit on the temperature blanket using a brand new color.
Cannery Yellow. 🙂

It's Friday so homemade pizza day!!🍕

Hope your Friday was sunny and bright.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

Friday

 It was raining when I got up this morning but by the time
I got dressed and left for town the rain had stopped.
41 degrees and no breeze with some fog.
Sunrise 6:44


First walked around the cemetery on the hill and then the other one.
Around town and the around the ball park loop.

Counted 12 chickens out in the yard.
One of them is hiding. 
Do you see the one playing King of the Tire?


Some of the gravestones have pictures engraved on them.
Each Friday I'll post one.
Here's the first one.
Most of pictures are on the front but this one is on the back.


☁️    🙂    🌷  

Just a couple of things left for this weeks house cleaning and got
that done right after breakfast. (Blueberry Pancakes)

Then read a while before lunch.

In the afternoon I spent some time knitting.
Knitted on the hat to go with the infinity scarf.
Besides that I have 4 other yarn projects I'm working on.
Weave-it blanket
Bedspread
Shawl
Temperature Blanket
Nice to have a few projects going!!

It's Friday and we had our usual homemade pizza for supper.

Hope you enjoyed your Friday.
Thanks for stopping by.
