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

Sunday

I got up early this morning so I could get a full walk in before going to church.  It was 35 degrees, dark and very foggy when I started out.  I took this picture on the way back home on the path behind the church.  It was light but still a bit foggy.
Quite a few people out considering it was early Sunday morning and the weather.
I saw a few deer around the lake.  Seeing four rabbits this morning I realized it had been a while since I'd seen any.  The geese were just waking up and starting to get noisy.

Forgot to mention yesterday that I found a lucky penny to start of the month of December.
I added up the coins I found in November on my walks and it was quite a good month.
3 quarters, 5 dimes, 2 nickels, and 22 pennies for a grand total of $1.57. 
Today I walked 6.2 miles.

In church today all was quiet and pastor was praying at the end of the sermon.  Then the quiet was broken by a cell phone ringing - the sound was a train coming.  It was distracting but still it made me smile.  You don't expect to hear a train coming along in church.

We went out this afternoon to do a few errands and now here I am at home on the computer.  I have a lot of visits to make here in blogland, but first I have to get some pizza dough started in the bread machine.  It's pizza night at home. : )

Numbers 6:24-26
The Lord bless you and keep you.

The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you.

The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

Have a wonderful Sunday my friends.
Happyone : )

BettyC - The tractor barn as the name says is a home for the tractor. : )  The sides are lined with tools and the bump out is where the radial arm saw is.  Upstairs is storage.

A sunny day for working

Walked into town this morning and saw a few deer along the way.  I also saw a couple of hunters and told the deer to go on up to Happy Trails where they would be safe.  I'm glad I was wearing my bright orange sweat shirt.
Here's what I saw looking up walking down my driveway. 
 It was supposed to be a cloudy day but it was a bright sunny day without a cloud in the sky all day.  The temperature reached the high 50's and we had another great day of work.

We worked on siding the other side of the tractor barn and got this much done before lunch.  Just have to finish the bump out and the lower back. 
 After lunch Ken got to use his tractor again and dug 9 holes to plant some trees.  They are the trees that one of our neighbors gave to us a while back.  They have been sitting on the side of the driveway all this time.  I'm surprised they haven't died by now.  Anyway here they are all planted.
I found some time to continue the trail I'm working on.  I got this much lined with logs and rocks, and have planned it out a bit farther.  We didn't start up the chipper so I couldn't lay any wood chips on this part yet.  Maybe next time.  I'm really enjoying making my trail.  I like it because it is my very own project and I don't need help from Ken.
All too soon it was time to quit working, pack things up and head for home.  We left about 3:30.  Traffic was very light until we got about half way home and then cars seemed to just come out of nowhere and there was quite a bit of traffic.  But we are home now safe and sound.

I'm off now to take a shower, then will watch some television and have some ice cream for my snack.  I've been having chocolate marshmallow lately!! : )

Hope you had a sunny day too.
Happyone
Fail not to call to mind,
in the course of the twenty-fifth of this month,
that the Divinest Heart that every walked the earth
was born on that day;
and then smile and enjoy yourselves for the rest of it;
for mirth is also of Heaven's making.
