Since I have gobs to do today, I decided to take Walter for an extra-long walk. Now we both need to rest up before I get with the box-breaking-down or blackberry pruning, but it was very pleasant!
Eggs. The living legend needs eggs. Or maybe another milk.

I totally grew up in Toughskins, even though I really hated the stiffness in them.
Today we ran up a mountainside and then down another. Or that's what it felt like, even though it was only 4 miles total. I'm faster than my sister on the downhills, anyway. And then we had excellent sweet-potato pancakes with my adorable nephews.
And now I'm home and beyond cleaning the house a bit, I don't have much to do. Well, I could edit my niece's application essay again. (Don't family members know that when you do an editing job for them, they're not supposed to send it back for another look? Oy.)

Well, I tried to go outside, but I didn't get very far. I think we got some freezing rain and now everything is covered in a thin layer of ice, so everyone outside is walking very slowly and doing the Scooby-Doo pratfall legs. I decided that walking any distance was going to result in injury.
This means I get to run my errands tomorrow when it is in the single digits. I also have a dentist appointment tomorrow. Woo?
I guess I'll catch up on some TV and do a toss/donate/keep with the closet.

There were vultures sunning themselves, wings spread, on the water tower down the street from the house this afternoon. Quite impressive!They're on a ridge line (great views) so the large birds like to ride the thermals .
At the airport and of course my flight was just delayed .

Whew, filled the yard waste bin with blackberry vines during half-time (well, half-time+half the 3rd qtr because I am not good at judging the passage of time). It actually makes a visible difference to that quadrant of the yard! Hooray!
Whipped up an experimental batch of hazelnut meal shortbread with bacon and cheddar during the first half. Smells really good. Kinda wish I hadn't had lunch so I could try one. They should keep until tomorrow, though.

These were the other three pair of jeans I patched. Grace will inherit most of these from Noah within the next month or two. I love the monster with the fangs the best. [link]

Adorbs! Reminds me of when I was little and my mom would darn my tights with little flowers.
