dual personalities

This is the first time I have seen actual red toadstools growing in my yard!

They are not big enough for a bunny to hide under…

But still, kind of exciting. What’s next?

In other flora and fauna news, I nearly stepped on this guy as he blended smoothly onto my welcome mat.

Just a moth you say, but pretty darn cool. The world is more than we know.

“If you will stay close to nature, to its simplicity, to the small things hardly noticeable, those things can unexpectedly become great and immeasurable.”

–Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

A guy whose blog I follow writes:

In the last 5 months I have painted a bathroom, 2 doors and 3 windows. Refinished a countertop, 2 desks and a floor. Moved 7,000 pounds of river jacks into a dozen locations. Repaired 2 eaves. Reset a mailbox. Repaired and repainted 3 damaged walls. Recreated a magnetic catch for a large door. Used my plumbing snake, twice, for the first time in 20 years.

I am impressed and wish I could say I had done just a few of those things. I have sorted through stuff. I have played pentominoes with the contents of several closets. I have shredded paper. I have dusted bookshelves and thought about how I need more bookshelves. I have brought toys up from the basement.

And I have managed to keep doing my job. Big points for this!

This weekend will be another quiet one. Probably no wee babes, since they have started back at school, but I am hoping for a visit from the boy later today. Have a good weekend! Chin chin and all that.
