Good morning!
Sitting here having my coffee after scrambled eggs and some blackberries. Trying to feed myself nutritiously even though I really wanted a croissant.
I had hoped to hike today, but AF is on her way and I'm a bit crampy and out of sorts today. Since the hike is essentially the one I just did on Wednesday, I decided not to go. I'm feeling a strong urge to declutter and hope it lasts till I actually get going, lol. Plus, I have a great book I'm almost done with and would like to finish (Blind Courage, about a man who hiked the Appalachian Trail...the catch? He is blind and hiked it with his seeing eye dog.).
Just really need to do some general straightening and decluttering. Little "hot spots" have popped up all over the house and need tamed. I'm also thinking this week and next are my last chances to get stuff out of the kids' rooms without them home to notice.
Oh, and there is always weeding to be done outdoors, as well as planting more seeds here and there. More than anything, I've been reading gardening books and blogs and thinking of places to tuck more plants. We ended up with just under 5 inches of rain since last Monday....awesome! The lakes have all gone up quite a bit, which was much needed. We have today and tomorrow to dry out a bit (ground is saturated) the more rain beginning Wednesday, though they're saying probably just 2-3 inches this week (which is still great!).
Dinner tonight will be roast chicken, mashed potatoes, and salad made with lettuce from our garden.
Janice, glad you all got your moisture, too!
Cheryl, kitty vacation? For the others, I mean?
We are enjoying our new little cat...keeps us laughing.
Catherine
