Hello,
Do you know about being well intentioned but not being able to follow through with things? Well, I have the best of intentions -- I'm going to blog regularly, I'm going to write wonderful, witty blogs with tremendous pictures. Everyone is going to love to read my blog.

NOT!

Meant to be that way but somehow, it just isn't working out.

Oh, well, I'll just keep on keeping on and write when I can and post pictures when I can. And when I can't, well, I'll have to forgive myself.

Now -- I've had a nice day today. My BFF and I went fabric shopping today and I loved every minute of it. When the clerk was cutting my fabric she asked what I was going to make with it. I told her I didn't have a clue -- I just liked it and wanted to have it. She laughed.
I bought three pieces -- one will be a fleece blanket for my Mom's dog, Zoe. Mom found her a dog bed (cost a quarter at a thrift shop) but it isn't padded like the one Gracie has. Mom put a little cushion in it but I thought I'd make her a little fleece blanket.

The other two pieces are just for fun.

After shopping we went to Souper Salads for lunch and some conversation. I always enjoy talking with her so it was nice. Then we stopped by Kohl's but she didn't find what she wanted and I found I didn't want anything.

After I came home and had a nap I started our dinner -- I stuffed some poblano chilies with a mixture of ground turkey breast, onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Topped with some cheese it made a lovely dinner. We finished up some left-over vegetables on the side.

Meanwhile, a crew was in the front and back yards cutting our trees. They had gotten so thick and heavy that people had to duck walking down the sidewalk in front and in the back one of the trees (red oak) was rubbing the roof of the house next door. Now the canopy has been raised on each and they are more open so we may be able to get some grass to grow in the back again. That is, if we can keep enough water on them. We water and water but this drought is just sucking the moisture out of everything.

I hope each of you had a really nice day.
