Today, I spent the sunlight hours doing yardwork. When I finished about half of the job, I went to scratch my ankle being something was sticking it. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I looked down!

I ditched the socks, and that was not as easy as I wanted it to be. Taking them off had to be done delicately. The shoe laces took some time to dethorn. I have no idea what weed in my yard is depositing these things all over, but whichever it is…it won! I put another pair of really worn shoes on after that fiasco, no socks, and finished the day out in the yard with them.

Raven and Leissl played some more tug-o-war.

I’m really grateful for whoever plays tug with Raven because otherwise, Raven is following me around shoving toys at me. The best time of day for this game of hers is when I’m fixing dinner for the Posse and she’s plopping down toys on the floor. I don’t normally see them till I step on them. I have yet to fall off my feet. Thank God! Of all times of the day, this is when my face turns reddest.

Raven mouthed off to the unimpressed Annie when the donut didn’t make it over the fence, (I’m really a girly thrower), and Annie took possession. It took Raven a minute, but she realized she needed to come back around the fence to get the donut.

Earlier this morning, I got a picture of two of my favorite things…one of our crows flying by the moon.

Gorgeous!
