Yesterday
went reasonably well. Bess got over her funk, and I finished the day with 11,000+
Fitbit steps.
I
was wide awake at 5:50 this morning, and of course, on standard time, that was
4:50, but I have to quit thinking that way. I arose drowsily and started my
day. Mike had built a fire in the little stove, so I lit it. I didn’t get Bess
up until 7:00, and she greeted me enthusiastically.
I
have been crocheting. This is my third attempt to make a crocheted Christmas
stocking for baby grandson Silas, whose middle name is “Fox.” It’s sorta
reminiscent of “sly fox,” don’t you think? But when I was there last month, Silas
didn’t seem sly at all. His nursery theme is woodland animals, and I naturally
think in terms of a fox as I plan projects for him. So, the difficulty with
this stocking is that I have an idea in my head to make a “fox” stocking, but it’s
difficult since I don’t have a pattern to follow. And I want it to be special,
so I’m obsessing over it, but I’m pleased to report that the current effort seems
to be coming along.
I hadn’t expected delivery of a gift today, but the mailman came early and
surprised me with a book I had ordered -- Growing Vegetables in Drought,
Desert and Dry Times by Maureen Gilmer. I know – it’s not really a personally inspirational
gift, but that’s okay. I’m interested to know if I can improve my vegetable-growing
efforts in these hot times.
A
pleasant and uneventful day. KW

I can't believe how early you get up!! Eight o'clock and I'm trundling into the kitchen looking for a coffee cup.
