Eerily similar to the old Alfred Hitchcock movie, Bill calls me out to the porch. In the corn field below our home, thousands and thousands of birds have congregated....... and they are making a racket!!! It just means that no matter how hot or humid it gets this week, Fall is in the air, and the birds are getting ready to fly south. Yeah Kim keeps telling me to start taking a picture from a different window..... but too me, every time I sit on my porch and look out at the country side it is always different, the clouds are different, the colors of the grass and trees are different. the shadows and sun rays are different. the birds and the wildlife are different. I truly Never see the same thing twice. So I know I've posted pictures of storms and clouds and cornfields and hillsides, and sunrises. so just "bare" with my pictures..... this is the cornfield below the house, hidden in the many stalks, are the birds.
Today was a good day...... Bill, Katie and I took the dogs for a nice hike on the trail, We did 2 miles. I could have gone further, but I must say that I wasn't going to push my knee's. , Bill was walking a head of us , so he actually turned the corner where we couldn't see him, he had Juneau and Sadie. All of the sudden you see him walking rather quickly around the corner back towards us, i wondered what was up with that..... He said that a large black bear crossed his path and he was worried that there were cubs near by. I guess the bear walked right across the path, saw Bill and the dogs and high tailed to the river. So i figured that it was safe to continue the journey. if she had cubs around I assure you she would have under no certain terms let them know. Sadie was off the leash, but she listens quite well, she could be on a dead run chasing a rabbit, and she'd stop on a dime if we said so. Old Man Louie, hung out with me, he doesn't need to be leashed either,........ he walks right at my side, never ahead of me. And Juneau, well lets just say she stays on the lead at ALL times.
This Lap band Journey is so much fun, yup I must tell you, it is so much fun. it feels good to be in no hurry..... I am really enjoying having my diet coach. and i know you are tired of hearing this, but i love this new "chewing" concept. i haven't had the need to eat a second helping at all in two weeks...and i am feeling full. One of my long term goals is to lose enough weight so that i can start to mountain/trial bike again. what is nice about that is...... i can cover more trail, it is easier to bike 10 miles than walk 3. i used to bike all the time........
Well I have had a wonderful time with my family, everyone was here. even the boys. we have just enjoyed each other, with no special plans. I needed a day like this. I was supposed to work today, ended up not. Bill is getting my tub water ready, so i am going to take a nice relaxing Raspberry bath...... and then i think we are all going to watch a movie... I know i will be starting the other job soon (hopefully) and then I don't think I'll have many days off......
Hope you all have a good week, make Monday count!!
