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

Three holes

50 degrees this morning and calm.
 A few light rain showers walking to town but no rain on the way
home and peeks of blue sky and sun by the time I got home.

Walking down my driveway at the start of my walk.


Walked to town but not through it.
Stayed around the cemeteries.
Twice around one of them and 4 times around the other and
then walked back home.

No one else about today.
Just me and the birds, cows, deer, and rabbits.


Couldn't decide which picture I like better so posted both.



Walked 6 miles

🌧     ☁️     🌤     🙂

After breakfast a quick trip to the Shop and Save.  
Didn't need much this week so it was in and out.

I did some morning chores when we got back and
Ken went outside on his tractor and started digging the holes
for the post for the deck.
I joined him outside a little later.
The three holes were dug by lunch time and after lunch
we poured the concrete for the footings.
We used 15 bags of concrete!

In the old days, after a days work, we would shower
and then go out and eat somewhere.
Today I made us hamburgers and French fries here at home.
They were good though so hate to complain.
At least we're healthy and have food to eat!!
Then there's always that ice cream to look forward to later! 🍨

Thanks for stopping by.

Rose - I do counted cross stitch wearing my reading glasses.  I do have an Ott light though and that makes such a difference!!

Tractor is back


Was surprised that it was only 37 degrees this morning 
when I walked, but it was calm and the sun was shining.
The air cool and crisp and beautiful
and a great morning for walking to town.


Once I got to town, I walked down the side road over
to the ball park and walked the loop there.
A man was running around the loop too.
Sometimes I see him almost every day and then don't see
him for a long time and then he's back again.

Looks like some kids were playing around here and left their
mark on the paved path.  😃
All along the path were words and pictures.

Walked up to the cemetery on the hill and walked around there
and then headed back home again.

The wild daisies are blooming now all along the side of the road.

Saw another man walking his little dog around the block again.
His dog doesn't even bark at me and is very friendly!

Walked 6 miles
When I got home the temperature was up to 45 degrees.

☀️     😀     ☀️

By the middle of the afternoon the temperature
had reached the mid 60's.

A picture of the finished cross stitch except for the outlining
which I will finish (hopefully) this week.
It amazing how much better it looks with the outlining done.


I always wonder what the back of peoples work looks like.
Here's the back.


The tractor has been in the shop for the past 5 weeks waiting for
a part so it could be fixed.
Today we got a call saying the part came in this morning
and was put in and the tractor is ready to go.
So we went to pick it up.
Ken is happy to have his toy back.
😃
Hopefully tomorrow will be nice so we can get
 the holes dug for the posts and we can began to build the
deck out back.

Find the good in your day and be happy.
happyone ❤️
