Sue together with I fully expected to walk inward the pelting yesterday...there was a 50% chance, afterwards all. I was wearing my pelting gear, but inward case. We were lucky, however, together with the pelting never came. To my knowledge, it was dry out all day. Here are some things nosotros saw along the way.
The get-go motion painting I took was at the far goal of our walk, but earlier turning around. It was our friendly red-winged blackbird. I intend he must telephone vociferation upwards this expanse abode because he was perched inward the same tree from when I photographed him concluding time. Or possibly he's but a photographic telly camera hog, together with he knew nosotros were coming.
Just approximately the curvature from where he was perched is our turn-around place. The trail is flooded here, together with it entirely gets worse walking on. We could walk out into the grass to larn approximately this area, but beyond, the trail passes nether the route via a tunnel where the flooding is virtually talocrural articulation deep. This flooding is the operate of beavers.
It was amusing to consider some Canada geese here. Show me a trunk of H2O of whatever size, together with I'll exhibit you lot some Canada geese.
Our walk yesterday took us on a circuitous path, fifty-fifty though we've walked this trail hundreds of times. We've been starting at the contrary goal because of the flooding, together with we've institute that diverse governmental bodies, both metropolis together with acre together with local parks together with rec organizations, convey been making a lot of improvements to the trail. It's been unopen inward places spell operate progresses.
Yesterday, nosotros encountered a detour sign that took us to a dead goal together with thence refused to request the agency to continue. We walked dorsum the agency nosotros came together with institute a route dorsum to the trail. After nosotros turned approximately together with went dorsum toward our starting point, nosotros walked the former familiar way. Who knows why nosotros were detoured because zero seemed amiss. In whatever case, nosotros discovered this novel playground constructed from fallen trees together with stumps.
The leafless trees are revealing lots of birds' nests. Here's but ane nosotros passed by.
Also...this cat.
And this cycle shaped bicycle rack. I was thinking it powerfulness endure possible to gratuitous displace quilt this shape on the correct quilt. Connect the shapes alongside a petty loop-de-loop (technical quilting term), together with you've got yourself a bike-themed design.
As nosotros neared the starting point, nosotros spotted the fattest squirrel I've always seen.
Hey! Who're you lot calling fat?!?
Below him, Mr. together with Mrs. Duck out for a morn swim.
When I got home, I iced my knees. Miracle of miracles...it was a two-cats-in-the-lap day.
It's been a busy week, together with I was tired when I got home. I didn't practise whatever to a greater extent than on my electrical flow quilt, but I did larn a start on the Let's RV Cross-stitch. This is what I did earlier I quit.
I'm realizing there's equally much dorsum stitch inward this slice equally at that spot is cross stitch, together with thence it's a lot similar regular embroidery. But here's something interesting. The cherry floss is from an former skein that was gifted to me concluding year. How long has it been since floss was v cents per skein? And you lot tin sack consider from the band on the correct that is is a 6-strand skein. Aren't they all?
But depository fiscal establishment fit this out...
How many strands practise you lot count? I tin sack entirely intend it's a manufacturing defect. I've never seen that before. It makes me wonder if I'll meet some spot equally I operate through the skein where ane strand ran out equally this was beingness wound. Maybe I'll discovery it to endure 6 strands equally I operate my agency along.
So I'll larn dorsum to my sewing today. It's going to endure a badly-needed tranquility solar daytime at home. I've done no housework all week, together with I've assigned myself a twosome of tasks. Aside from that, it'll endure NBS.
