2022 Happy To Be Here

 We missed the window of opportunity to harvest any peaches.  The local wildlife however did not.  I moved a wildlife camera to the very overgrown garden and got some evidence as to what animals are scavenging for food there.  The videos I have uploaded to YouTube are my happy things for today.  It has been a while and I hope I did it all right.  Enjoy! https://youtu.be/eGde2FkGAM4 https://youtu.be/sPTce7Xg-f8 https://youtu.be/Z478nzo-pOs https://youtu.be/CakS5Z6Aisg https://youtu.be/4XVWowksaO8 ☮ Thank you for being part of my happy things.  Stay safe.

 One of the things I was hoping to do while the majority of the family is away was to get the house a bit cleaner.  Today I got started in the kitchen.  The kitchen might be the only thing I end up working on.  I want to think that I suddenly have a bunch of time on my hands.  The truth is, I have less time because I need to walk the dog.  That is good, I am getting outside more and I like that.  Other happy things from today: While on one of the walks with Aesop today I picked up the SD card from the wildlife camera.  Along with the many deer there were two clips with a fox and one with a coyote.  I hope to load them onto the YouTube channel later. I love the views from out back. For day 48 of the A&S challenge I went to the studio and worked on a tunic for Gideon.  Keziah cut out the pieces before they went on vacation and I get to see how much I can sew while they are gone.   ☮ Currently reading: Pocketful of Miracles: ...

One night a  fox  came through and visited. The last one that I chose to publish on YouTube has some anxiety.  Some deer are being chased by what seems to be a  coyote .  Only a chase on the video, no capture.  Exciting! Day 16 of the A&S ch...
