National Caramel Day

Aesop, our dog, and I walked around the backyard for a few minutes. Aesop just wanted to sit. So I stood, listened, and watched. I was somehow able to block the street noise out for a few moments and hear the birds. There was one that sounded different. I've heard it before but today I wanted to place it. After some standing still and observations, I'm fairly certain that the sound came from a tufted titmouse. Aesop stayed mostly still while I made my observations, he was watching a different bird, the Robin.

Other happy things for today:

• Another observation was the presence of buds on the trees in the distance. They are still quite small, but now they are noticeable.

• Keziah, Gideon, and I went to a local game store. Gideon used some birthday money to get a book about Dungeons and Dragons. I saw extensions of games that I have that I didn't know existed. It has been a while since I looked at games. It might be time for me to budget money and time for games.
• We went out for a treat at Dairy Queen after the game store.  I got a caramel sundae.  Then I learned that today is National Caramel Day.  Yum!
• For the A&S challenge I pulled out and then did more embroidery. I'm not really liking how this is coming out, but day 93 is done.

Looking at this picture,
I may take it out later and do something else instead.
