Boo! I'm here...

I didn't watch all the Emmy's, but everytime I flipped over - Tony Bennet was winning an award...and I was watching PBS, where his American Masters episode was airing...he was all over my television...I'm glad Ricky Gervais won Best Actor in a Comedy...we love his show Extras, I bought Brian the DVD's and we watch it and quote is regularly..I can't eat or drink while watching it, cause I laugh so hard I nearly kill myself..."little fat man who sold his SOUL...pudgy little loser..."

Did you think I ran away?...No....the computer is upstairs, helping to keep me from wasting scads of time surfing online and actually getting stuff DONE instead...We did yard work yesterday, mowing, weedeating, all the dirty stuff...I saw a snake, lizards, toads, spiders, bugs and even a hawk being chased by a pair of crows...they sailed right overhead...

it was awesome, of course...Brian setup our waterbowl that's been sitting in the backyard for over a year (since we moved in) and now its just outside our dining room and I can see it when I work...the little fountain is running and there's water coming thru...so nice...except I think the birds are a little confused, they sit in the tree, but aren't on the feeder much...

I'm sure they'll get over it...he also moved the bird bath and I'v already seen two birds drinking from it...but its been hot and with all the outside work, it kinda wore us out...today we've been indoors, except for a quick jog down the road for breakfast and a stop at the grocery for some eggs so I can make brownies...except we both came home and took naps cause we were so tuckered from yesterday...the yard looks good, tho...and I'm seeing all sorts of new growth from the plants I cut back a few weeks ago...I also counted 8 monarch caterpillars and the orange dog seems to have relocated, hoping he'll be turning into a giant swallowtail soon...we had 5 grapefruits on our little twig of a tree, but they were getting so heavy, Brian pruned 2 of them to help the branch from breaking..into the compost for you! Tonight we are searching for his cross stitch bag which we can't find..i'm sure its tucked in a box in a closet somewhere...eventually we'll locate it...I came upstairs to look for it, and Amelie has found me...she doesn't like to go too long w/out knowing where I am - the food source must stay in visible sight at all times...she cries when I go out front and feed Jack and Chloe - she thinks I should be inside feeding her...she's a hoot..

Back to work tomorrow...I haven't even taken the beads off the mandrels that I made last week...I've got things to do...its almost Thanksgiving, ya know...
