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

My busy day

 Got a lot done today.
Here's my day in bullet form.

  • Started off walking in the basement because of the snow. (6,000 steps)๐Ÿฅพ


  • Got a crock pot of chili going.
  

  • Did a load of laundry and hung clothes on drying rack.๐Ÿงบ 


  • Read my Bible ๐Ÿ“–


  • Did Body Electric, exercises I do with light weights 3 times a week.


  • Baked last batch of Welsh Cookies for the Drane house cookie sale.๐Ÿช
  • Then had to clean up the mess I made in the kitchen.  
  • Picture one, the mess. Picture two, almost done. Picture three, all cleaned up.
  • Then it was lunch time.
  • After lunch got the Christmas decorations up.๐ŸŽ„
  • Knitted the two rows on the temperature blanket.๐Ÿงถ


  • Back down the basement to finish up my steps. (4,000 for a total of 10,000)๐Ÿฅพ
  • Played the three computer games I play most days.  Wordle, Spelling Bee, and Strands.
  • Now it is time to get supper started.  A simple meal of pasta and sauce.
That's been my day.  Looking forward to reading and knitting after supper.

Thanks for stopping by.
Hope you had a great day.

Yarn and boots

 A cloudy morning for walking.
24 degrees with a few snow flurries flying around.
Not much of a wind.

Walked all around town, the ball park, and both of the cemeteries.
There was no school so it was very quite around town again.


The pond is frozen.


Noticed a woodpecker made quite a hole in this tree by the ball park.


Didn't see anyone else around.

We drove down to Lavale today.
First went to a shoe store where I always find what I'm looking for.
Today got two pair of boots to wear to church during the winter.

Next went to check out the mall.
Haven't been there in years!!
Just a few people there.

Ended up at the Walmart down there which is about double the 
size of the one we go to nearer our house.
They had some of the Puzzle yarn I like so got some skeins of that.
It was Karen day today, Ken didn't get anything.


I finished the Sophie scarf and posted it and the pattern
on my other blog

Just popped some veggies and sausage in the oven to roast
so that will be supper in just a little while.

Today zoomed right by.
I washed the sheets this morning and still haven't put them back on the bed.

Hope all is well with you and thanks for stopping by.
