well...my day started with a looong run by myself.
i waited in my car for my friends but realized they were not coming...so i went alone.
and since i was supposed to be going with them i didn't bring my ipod.
so i ran without music....that is crazy talk!!
but i did the 6 miles without stopping and felt great.
interesting.
no music or friends and i still did it.
cool.
i came to the craft house to do some prep work.
and look what came in the mail....
my new favorite shirt. :)
yep.
i bought that.
the bold banana has a bunch of really funny shirts but this was my favorite.
i cut fabric for a couple hours getting ready to make a TON of bunting.
for my shop.
that who-knows-WHEN-it-will-actually-open-but-it-will someday-i-promise.
i had music cranked and all the sunshining in....it was a really nice afternoon alone.
later in the afternoon talby yelled "MOM!!! THAT BIRD JUST HIT THE WINDOW!!"
it was quite stunned.
it just sat there.
i opened our door and we were just looking at each other.
of course waffle was going NUTS over this bird just sitting there.
barking and barking and barking.
i have never seen a bird that close up...like a tiny bird.
i have seen the chickens.
but not a bird like this.
that beak looks too pointy for me.
i told talby "lets leave it alone now and it will probably get its wits and fly off pretty soon."
then i stood up and said "was that a goat?"
and it was.
the neighbors have two goats!
and how is this for a totally weird creepy picture.....
HA HA HA!!
i don't always look through my camera to take pictures so this was a shot taken down by my hip.
quite a surprise when that popped up on the screen.
so funny.
i think his bottom teeth are straighter than mine!
then talby wanted to show me the neighbor's new kitties.
pretty cute.
but not tempting to me at all.
then THIS little lady came bouncing outside....
and i was immediately in love.
completely.
her name is Sue.
i wanted to kiss her.
and take her home.
and i wasn't the only one....
also not pictured...turtles were found and held and played with.
and wild turkeys in the road.
the bird that hit the window did indeed fly away.
probably will never be quite the same but it's alive.
it was just a farmy night.
i like those kind.
ok...i have till thursday at noon to finish up that floor in the gray bedroom.
hmmm.
we will see if i can do it.
then we are on full summer break.
we started a rough draft of the summer list last night..... we don't have the big chalkboard at this house.
we will have to get creative.
