Sue together with I managed our walk alongside no pelting yesterday. The conditions study showed alone a slight endangerment of pelting until 11:00 a.m. when the endangerment rose to 70%. We were finished unopen to 10:45. I stopped off at a grocery shop on my agency home. When I got dorsum inward the auto at 11:09, the pelting started coming down. Pretty amazing how accurate conditions reports are these days. The heaven was fairly dramatic every bit I drove to where nosotros park. This motion-picture present was taken from the hap of our hill.
Here are some things nosotros saw along the way. As I mentioned inward a previous post, there's quite a flake of move beingness done along this side of the trail. There guide maintain been some novel work buildings together with apartments built here, together with thence the trail has been improved from what it 1 time was. There's besides been the improver of this Canis familiaris park...
To the correct of that paradigm is this wheel rack.
Along the trail, nosotros spotted this blueish heron. He was suspicious of us.
Possibly if he turned his back, we'd teach away.
When that didn't work, he decided to walk onto greener moisture pastures. When nosotros returned a few minutes later, he was gone.
All the squirrels are fatty correct now. Sue wondered if they mightiness last pregnant.
We've known at that topographic point is a beaver dam along this department of the trail. Yesterday, Sue spotted it alongside her sudden eyes. This is 1 of ii beaver dams nosotros know of.
Here's some of the resulting flooding. We to a greater extent than oft than non plough unopen to at this betoken because the flooding is worse downward the way. The ducks don't mind. They're after some of our Oregon slugs....delicious, or thence I'm told. I've never genuinely tried them myself.
When I got home, I had lots of companionship piece I iced my knee.
The kitties idea it was a practiced fourth dimension for a nap, together with thence what could I do, but tip dorsum inward my recliner together with bring together them.
And that made it a real brusque sewing day. I got but this far alongside the side past times side Mulligan Stew block. I'll teach them finished today. Also, my yo-yo maker arrived piece of cake inward the hateful solar daytime yesterday, together with thence I'll brand the ii yo-yos for the Garden Sunshine block.
Instead of sewing, I decided to brand a examination recipe from America's Test Kitchens. I used to do recipe testing for them, together with thence gave it upwardly a long fourth dimension ago. Now I'm dorsum to it. They sent me a recipe for "braised eggplant," together with that sounded positively ghastly. Then a few minutes later, they sent me a recipe for "Apple Crunch." Well, count me inward on that. Only, the recipe was poorly written. That, combined alongside a tired together with distracted brain, together with I won't fifty-fifty teach into all the mistakes I made piece making this. I had to showtime over alongside the topping. Even the 2d fourth dimension around, I effed it up, together with thence I was form of stuck. Throw it out or bake it upwardly the agency I had it. So...what the heck? I baked it upwardly together with it genuinely turned out okay. It's far from the "apple crunch" it was supposed to be. Mine turned into something to a greater extent than akin to apple tree cobbler.
H5N1 twain of scoops of vanilla H2O ice cream shroud a multitude of sins.
So, I nonetheless desire to endeavour this again, together with I doubtfulness I tin brand whatever to a greater extent than mistakes alongside it. I'll guide maintain to teach some to a greater extent than apples though.
Today is going to last NBS. I'm looking forwards to that. I desire to complete upwardly the Mulligan Stew blocks. If I can, I'll complete upwardly the Let's RV stitchery. And if I teach that far, peradventure I'll plough that into some form of piddling wall hanging...we'll see. There is nonetheless 1 to a greater extent than pocket-sized quilt I'd similar to teach quilted earlier the terminate of the month, together with thence that's in all likelihood side past times side on the list. All of my monthlies are done, together with thence I guide maintain the residual of the calendar month to play.
