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

Sunshine

You won't be surprised to learn we had more rain today. I walked in a little bit of drizzle. Here you can see how full the little streams are. This is along the path I walk on my way to the lake.
Just couldn't get motivated to go to the old house to mow the lawn. I told myself it would just be too wet.
About 3:00 this afternoon the sun came out and I saw blue sky once again. :-)

I ironed today upstairs looking out of the window watching gravel get blown into the bottom of the townhouse. It was to cover up the plumbing before getting the cement poured. I was also listening to George Guidall read me part of another cat story - The Cat Who Turned On and Off. My ironing was done in no time. :-)

Bullets of my day.
Made a birthday card.
Made a loaf of white bread.
Read.
David called.
Sat outside on the deck to enjoy the sunshine while it was around.
Drove Taryn to work.
Cross stitched.
Watched Seinfeld.
Ate chocolate chip ice cream.
Knitted.
Now I will read some more until it's bed time.

Hope all is well in your part of the world and you had a day of sunshine.
Happyone :-)

Not much of anything

It wasn't actually raining when I walked around the lake this morning but it was cloudy and a bit foggy. We did get a peek at the sun for a short while but then the clouds came back and yes more rain came down. It's raining right now.
I finished reading Dead Man's Puzzle by Parnell Hall.
There is not much to say about this book. I didn't like it much. Couldn't get interested in the characters or the story. I'm surprised I even read the whole thing. A book I would NOT recommend. I was up in the loft for part of the day and did a little cross stitching. We went out for pizza for supper. For my snack tonight I had Chocolate chip mint ice cream - nice having the mint for a change. A pretty quiet day and didn't really do much of anything. Hope you had lots to smile about today. Happyone :-)
