My Tree. Part of "My Back Yard Series". I altered the colors... we didnt' have weather that was this weird.
Actually I'm playing around with using this image in my banner. Whatcha think?

My friend Karen, who's recovering from surgery, lent me one of her Pfaffs until mine is out of the shop. It's another 7550 just like mine, so I should be cooking with gas!! But today was taking up with running errands, so no time to sew. Tomorrow looks a lot more hopeful. I did get to the gym for a full hour of righteous sweating.

When real life maintainence items suck up your time, how do you compensate? Do you make intricate plans for the tomorrows that are as yet unsucked? Or rage against the sucking that is today?

Someone Is Taunting Me

It happens every year when the tomatoes and apples are ripening the gardens.

I wake up, look out my back windows and spy the evidence that something has been eating out of the garden. Can you imagine an animal brazen enough to not only take food (heck, I understand.. they don't recognize property lines and assume the fruits are theirs for the taking!) but to also leave it sitting half-eaten in full view of the world?

Nyah-nyah! I stole your food!!

I'm assuming it's a racoon that does this (are they omnivores?). I still marvel, however, at the skill to pick the fruit in one place, then carry it up to a safer spot to munch it. As I'm writing this, a scrub jay is enjoying the remaindered fruits of the taunter's labor.


STEPS YESTERDAY? 9123
CALORIES YESTERDAY? Didn't track them all. My bad.
GOOD/BAD DECISION? Ya know.. I do eat healthier when I write down everything I eat. There is evidence that I haven't eaten enough fruits or veggies. So not checking with FitDay was a bad move.

Whatcha Doing Today? Workout with Guido at 10 am. Run a couple errands and attend a wake this evening. Quiche and a salad for supper.
