Another Bench

 25 degrees this morning for walking with a light wind

and a mix of sun and clouds.

The morning moon 

Walked around both of the cemeteries first and then to see the bulls.

Then headed up the hill to the school and then back to town.

Twice around the ball park and back to the Jeep.

No one else out walking, as least no one that I saw.

The bulls are in frozen mud again with some hay mixed in.

The picture on the bottom is taken of the barn where the

bulls are but from the other road as I'm walking up to the school.

Walked 6 miles

Yesterday I said was the last bench picture but I came across

this so took one more.

This was in the back of the school by the playground.

Looks more like a couch than a bench but just couldn't resist.

I thought of you Victor - it's a good size to take a nice long nap. 🙂

I've read a bit this afternoon of my book 

The Evening and the Morning and like it a lot.

It is set in the year 997.

I enjoyed the trilogy and this one is just as good.

We bought a 7 pound turkey breast for Thanksgiving

and on the packaging it gives the directions for cooking in the slow cooker.

Sounds like a good idea and I'm going to give it a try this year.

Have any of you ever tried cooking a turkey this way before?

That's all I have for today.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hope you enjoyed your Saturday. 🙂

Walking Clothes

 This morning it was 30 degrees colder than yesterday at the same time.

When I walked it was 24 degrees, pretty windy and once the sun

rose there was a mix of sun and clouds.

Had a very random walk all over town up and down all the streets.

Walked to the library and dropped a book down the slot.

Never made it to the cemeteries or ball park.

Nice to see Joy out there in the cold too

and to know I'm not the only crazy person! 😀

There is another too small to walk around cemetery along Flat St in town.

I walked in the cemetery today looking at the head stones.

Some you can read but such a shame 

that most of them you can't read anymore.

This one has a small pipe next to the headstone.

Looks like an air hole.

Maybe John was afraid of being buried alive and asked to have

the air hole there just in case.

Anyhow it gave me a chuckle.

It is probably really there to hold a flower or a flag.

Walked 6 miles

This is the last bench in the Bench Series that I've taken along my walk.

Tomorrow I'll end with three more benches that are in my house!

Some of you wonder why I'm not cold when I walk in this weather.

You wouldn't be cold either if you wore all the layers I do.

I put them all out on my bed to show you.

A Long sleeve turtle neck T shirt

2 long sleeve underwear tops

Two hooded sweat shirts for a total of 5 layers.

Long underwear bottom

Shorts

Jeans

On my head is a ski mask and the two hoods from the sweat shirts.

All these layers keep me nice and warm.

I must weigh 10 extra pounds with all this on and it takes

a while to put it all on and take off.

Spent some time in the kitchen today.

Made Dill Bread in the bread machine to go with

the Broccoli Cheese Soup we had for supper.

Also made some bar cookies which are called

Multiple Choice Bar Cookies.

Take a look and get the recipe HERE.

Found some time for reading this afternoon.

Started  

The Evening and the Morning by Ken Follett,

The prequel to The Pillars of the Earth.

Ken read it first and finished it in a couple of days. (966 pages)

That's all for today.

Hope you made your day a good one. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by.
