Rain Music

✿     ✿     ✿     ✿

57 degrees this morning and another rainy walk.  Didn't wear my rain gear but I did have my umbrella and it stayed up during my whole walk.

Stayed around town again and just walked all over town and around the two cemeteries and the ball park.  I usually stay in town during rain in case we should get a thunder storm.

Didn't see any one else at all, just people in cars.  I have quite a few cars and trucks that I see every day and a lot of them wave or give me a toot as they drive by. : )

Passing by the town pond I zoomed in and tried to get a picture of the Red Winged Black bird.  This one came out the best. 

I know I've said this many times but I love to listen to the rain falling on my umbrella.  The steady rain was nice to hear but then when I walked under trees larger drops would fall and there were a variety of sounds.  It was rain music. : )

I found the first coin of the month - a lucky penny.
Walked 5.2 miles.

We wanted to go to HT today and work on the cabin but the rain kept us away.  I got a little cleaning done in the house and on my computer too.  I'm going through all my bookmarks making sure they are still good ones, checking to see if I still know the passwords and getting rid of ones I no longer want.  It is quite a job and I still have more to do.  I'm going to feel so good though when I get finished.

After lunch even though it was still rainy we went to a nursery to buy the rest of our plants for the garden.  I got 2 New Guinea impatiens for the front yard and I eggplant and cucumbers for my garden.  Ken is growing tomatoes in his raised garden beds in the back yard and he picked up a couple of cherry tomato plants.  I wanted to get some lettuce and peppers but they were all gone already.  I think I've got enough to keep me busy now for this year.  If all goes well with these, I'll expand next year.

Since we only went out for pizza on my birthday this evening we drove out to Morgantown, WV and had my birthday dinner at the Outback.  We both had salads, steaks and baked potatoes - me sweet, Ken white.  Delicious. 
Afterwards we stopped in at Michael's and I bought some more yarn. : )

BTW, I'm reading and liking the second Outlander book. 

That's it for today.
Hope your day was a happy one.
happyone : )

A rainy morning for my walk today and 64 degrees.  Too warm to wear rain gear so just took my umbrella.  It was an on and off gentle rain - good for all plants.

Walked all around town, around the two cemeteries and the ball park loop.  This photo is at the farthest end of one of the cemeteries and the only picture I took on my walk.

Didn't see any one else out this morning, nor did I see any wildlife except for the birds.
Nothing out of the ordinary this morning.
I walked 5.4 miles.
The month of May was a pretty good month for finding coins on my walk.
90 cents - 1 quarter, 5 dimes, 1 nickel and 10 pennies.

I took these pictures of the Robin and Blue Bird on my walk yesterday.  Pictures aren't that great but I like them anyway.

Plans to mow the lawn changed this morning when it was raining out.  So I stayed inside and finally cooked up the rest of the rhubarb and put it in the freezer.

Most of the morning I spent clearing the papers off my desk, shredding, throwing away or putting it where it belongs. 

A woman at church asked Ken if he could take a look at her washing machine that was broken so after lunch we went over there.  Unfortunately there is something wrong with the gears that Ken couldn't fix.  The machine is 20 some years old so she has gotten her money's worth out of it.

The sun had come out for a little while so things dried up so when we got back home I was able to get the lawn mowed.  I thought it would rain again as I was mowing but was lucky and got it all done.

So that's been my day so far. 
A happy day to you, my friends.
happyone : )

Thanks for the birthday wishes.  : )

Winter - The pizza crust recipe is the one that came with my bread machine and very very easy.  1 cup warm water, 3 cups regular flour (not bread machine flour) 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 Tablespoons olive oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast.  Just put all the ingredients in the bread machine and 1 1/2 hours later you have some pizza dough. : )
