Good morning random folksHave you any plans today?
Good luck with thet.I go see my podiatrist today. I'll find out how much longer I have to wear this boot. I need to start physical therapy because my leg is definitely weak.
Bet you like the cooler temps.Today's high is 78 and cloudy, but only a small chance of rain until tonight. We didn't get any rain overnight. Thursday, thunderstorms are expected. I guess summer is officially over.
Glad your temps are still nice. Still hoping for rain.Morning, mixers.
What's rain? But still nice temps.
Recovery day, after yesterday's monthly town run. Well, after we finish stowing the haul...

oops.
That's cutting it pretty close to 10/1/23. Isn't that when you wanted to be out of that boot?I saw the podiatrist and I'm still in the boot. In a couple of weeks, I can start phasing it out. I'm still not released to go back to work.
The monarch flew away. I gave Carli the hand signal to lay and stay. Watched the monarch land on the grass about 6-8 feet away and very slowly moved in to snap a pic and naturally it flew away before I could take a photo.
So nice you got to see a Monarch. I got lucky enough to see one last year. They are beautiful for sure.Good afternoon EveryOne
Went for a nice long walk in the woods today. Something rare and very special happened. We were taking a break, I was sitting on a fallen tree, Carli dog was laying down and then a gorgeous Monarch butterfly landed on her back. Carli didn't even notice or feel it. I sure was freakin' STOKED though. It just sat on her back with it's wings open.
I knew if I moved quickly for my smartphone, to get photos, I'd likely freak it out. So I just sat there and admired its beauty. Then I very slowly grabbed my smartphone and Carli decided to move.The monarch flew away. I gave Carli the hand signal to lay and stay. Watched the monarch land on the grass about 6-8 feet away and very slowly moved in to snap a pic and naturally it flew away before I could take a photo.
Oh well, it was totally awesome seeing a Monarch. It's very rare to see one these days. Sadly they are critically endangered. Since the 1980s about one billion monarch butterflies have been lost, or 97% of their population. All thanks to stupid pesticide use, loss of grasslands and human caused global warming.![]()
