I wished I looked HALF as cute in my sweat band as this little girl does with her hair band.
I got a good amount done outside yesterday, spending two hours outside weeding. I’ll try to finish it up today, and may add some weed whacking. We have a good chance for rain tomorrow, so I’d like to get things under control today.
I’ve started a new wood-burning piece, but didn’t get to work on it yesterday, due to all the yard work. Maybe I can get up there today.

Both Monster Cat (aka Jet) and Amber are having a super-active morning for some reason. I got up first and Amber barked the minute I started to come downstairs. She barked from time to time as I fixed her food, then let her out, then back in. I jumped a foot each time she suddenly barked, as this is not her usual behavior inside. (She does bark when we let her out, kind of announcing to the world at large, “HERE. I. AM!”) She has since calmed down, but not before waking my husband up.
Monster Cat has been dashing around. This is extremely noticeable to me as I attached a loud bell to her collar which makes a lot of noise. My husband can’t hear it, but I sure can, and it helps me locate her when I need to put her in the bathroom and to bed at night. She is acting like she has found a secret source of catnip and has been not only sampling, but diving in. She finally jumped up on the counter next to my computer and is now resting in her bread basket.
Things seem to be calm for the moment now. Amber is out. The cat is in and resting. My husband is taking a nap in his recliner. I’m at the computer for a few minutes before heading outside to the planters. Ahhhhhh! Can you hear the quiet?
