Porch Time

Photo

Somehow it was much easier to do my stretching exercises yesterday at St. Vincent's 119 than it was in my bedroom floor this morning. Taco was nosing my feet, Skipper was licking my face, and Sophie was pawing me on the shoulder to get my attention. Bella had left the area.

But I have to say I do feel better today. I don't know if a couple of sessions of stretching is responsible or if it's just one of those rare days when I feel better, but THANK GOD! 

This morning, I sat on the back porch with my coffee while the dogs roamed the back yard and the cats peered through the screen and climbed on the furniture. The temperature was great--a nice cool morning carrying the promise of autumn. I love it.

Today is laundry day as well as guild newsletter deadline. Got to get busy on my article now.

Cheers that you feel better today no matter what the reason! I do hope the PT exercises will bring about more and more good days for you. Perhaps you should put the critters on the porch before you do your exercises so you'll be less bothered by the little faces and feet of those concerned about you!

Your basket of pinecones reminds me of a funny family story. My parents had a coal scuttle filled with pinecones in their den by the fireplace. My mother once asked my father to wash the dust off of the pinecones so he took them outside in the sunshine to spray each with the hose. Before putting the pinecones back into the scuttle, he let them dry a bit. To his surprise, the coal scuttle was just over half full when he refilled it with all of the pinecones. Later than evening, my parents kept hearing odd popping sounds they traced to the coal scuttle and the next morning the coal scuttle was full again. When wet, the pinecones had shrunk and they filled out again when dry!!

Hugs!

So glad you're feeling better! The promise of autumn helps a lot, doesn't it?
