Apple Cupcakes

A cool breeze and 62 degrees this morning at 6:40 when I 

left on my walk.

Clouds and sun.

Sunrise - 6:17

Ken passed me as I was walking to town 

and gave me a beep on his way to meet Edd for breakfast.

Continued to the ball park and walked around the loop.

Then up and down some side streets,

around one of the cemeteries and back home.

Interesting looking clouds this morning.

Didn't see any one else out walking or running.

Saw quite a few gold finches 

and also lots of Monarch butterflies along the side of the road.

There are quite a lot of milk weeds along there.

The electric meter reader guy drove passed me a few times along my road.

He would pass me and would go into a driveway and then I would catch up

 and he'd pass me again going to the next house.

He stopped one time and said I was walking at a pretty good pace.

I saw this home made little see saw in the yard of the day care center

and thought it was a clever idea.

It is laying on its side here so you can see they used a half tire. 

A good size for the little ones.

 After breakfast I got busy baking 6 dozen cupcakes for the kids at Sunday school.

There were from a box mix so it was easy.

The cupcakes are supposed to look like apples for back to school.

The cupcakes are white cake set in red liners.

Was going to just bake the cupcakes today and decorate them tomorrow
but ended up decorating them too.

I put red food coloring in white icing and iced the cupcakes,
then sprinkled them with red sprinkles.
Stuck a mini Kit Kat in the center for the stem
and two green M & M's for the leaves.
Here's how they turned out.
Took quite a long time to decorated 72 cupcakes this way
but I'm sure the kids will love them.

That's about all I did today.
Plan on reading for a while this evening and
then making some weave-it squares while watching Netflix.


Hope your day was a happy one.

Took these two picture when we got home from church last evening.

From the bottom of our driveway

and from the top.

Left at 6:35 this morning on my walk.

64 degrees and sunny but with some early morning low hanging clouds.

 Walked to town and went to the post office to drop some mail (Netflix)

down the slot.

Then walked the rest of the way through town to the Dollar General

where I turned around and headed back home again.

Didn't see any other walkers or runners today
and no deer either.
Just me, the birds, and the rabbits!

Walking past the bakery on the other side of the road I looked down
and saw something shiny at the edge of the road.
A quarter!!
 🙂

Ken went up to the cabin to do a little work
while I did some house cleaning jobs.

Got the trailer hooked up to the truck and went to pick up the
church riding mower that was at the shop getting fixed
and dropped it off at church.
Thankfully Pastor mows that lawn!! 😃

Met the man who installed the radon gas vent on Monday
at the old house this afternoon.
The test was concluded today to see if the vent was doing it's job.
Happy to say yes, it is now UNDER the recommended levels.

We had BLT's for supper this evening but not with
a tomato from our garden.
Don't know if the garden this year will produce any at all!

 It was a good day but it seemed to have zoomed by.
Looking forward to some ice cream later.

Hope your day was a good one.
Happy August
happyone 🥰
