~*My Morning*~

Good Morning Dear Friends! Today I did not go on my customary 3 mile walk. Instead... I moved a load of used bricks we bought at a property auction last night... from here...



to here...



... all by myself because of my beloved's work schedule. 318 bricks... plus a few 'crumbs'.

They are mostly solid with no markings, but there were a few gems mixed in...




Plans are to lay a brick sidewalk from our driveway to the front porch of the studio... but probably not until next Spring.

After moving all the bricks, I didn't feel the least bit guilty for treating myself to a doughnut either! mmmmm good!

Now that the exercise it out of the way for the day & my muscles are sore... I think I'll finish up these candle cuffs. I hooked these the past couple of nights.



Once they are finished... it is back to stitching on my Christmas sampler... that is about half done.

Wishing you all warm smiles...

Betty
