Ducks and geese like Impatiens to eat....

So far, I've enjoyed seeing the ducks and geese wandering around the yard, eating grass, clover, bugs, and other things that they find. But, today, I put some Impatiens into pots on our front porch, and found out that those busy little critters like to eat them! They also started to nibble on our hostas, so I got David to lure them to the back yard with a cupful of their corn feed. Guess I'll have to keep a closer eye on them now... or put my new plants on the deck where they can't get to them!

It's been a cloudy and rather humid couple of days since we had the big rain storm earlier. One good thing about the humidity...my hair has some body, but also has a 'mind of its own.' Mixed blessing, I guess.

I ran some errands yesterday and did the grocery shopping. By the time I got home, my ankles were screaming again. I know all that walking in the stores is good for me, but it is sure no fun when my body complains afterward. Who knew (as a young person) that one would have so much discomfort just doing what always has been done? 

Sent off birthday cards to my sister, Jean, and to our Alitza who both have birthdays next week. Jean is 91 and Alitza is 37 (how can that be?) Time just keeps marching on...

So, now I need to get going on the little cabinet in my art room. I finally got all the pieces of 'molding' removed that were holding the glass windows in place so I can use some paint remover and get the last of the varnish and old gunk off of the frames. I will still need to sand everything, and then I can paint the cupboard and get it installed on the wall for storage. Plenty of things to do...just don't have a lot of motivation so far.

I've starting going through my collection of knitting magazines, and the library will get a nice selection of them, once I'm done. I have tons of them, and decided I needed to cull them to just keep the ones with patterns I might actually use to make something.

Well, friends, it's time for me to think about calling it a day, and try to get to bed soon. I had another restless night last night. Slept pretty good for about four hours, and then my bursitis in my right shoulder started giving me trouble again (still!) so I was up and down and slept fitfully the rest of the night. Maybe tonight will be better, but don't count on it. The humidity also bothers my joints, and my shoulder joints are no exception. Oh, joy...

So, night everyone!
