Saturday's this and that

To borrow a phrase, "...I'm a bad blogger."   However, I'm here now with some general this and that stuff for this post.

• I realized on Friday that I was actually a walking zombie the previous day.  I'm doing such a good job at ignoring the travails of travel that I didn't recognize I should have pulled the covers over my head and called it a day Thursday morning.  It was a rough travel week.  I think I spent 14 hours traveling including waiting time in airports on Monday (which included two tries at the runway in a lightning storm, obviously one try was successful) and 9 hours on Wednesday.  Mental note:  If this happens again, don't try to "power" through any fatigue, it won't be productive.
• Friday, however, was productive and today is starting out that way.  I watered the new landscaping, washed most of the windows on the south side of the house (not at well as Wilson, but light comes through now), cleaned the bird bath, gazing globe, and statuary; started a load of laundry, and all this before coffee.  I may take a nap this afternoon, though.
• I have two ripe tomatoes as of Thursday afternoon.  Yippee!  BLT salad, here I come.
• Wilson has been Up North for a few days with Tom, the best man at our wedding, fly fishing for muskies and other various fishing.  He'll be home late tonight.
• As mentioned, the front yard is getting a make-over, including a new sidewalk.   
• There are some interesting flowers in the woods.   
• The stream is still flowing although not with the vigor that Spring supplies.  It changes with the seasons, providing a new source of water for the local wildlife, a home for minnows, and more food for the birds and animals that like aquatic snacks.   
• I hope to go gather some more berries. 
• Happy Saturday.  It is Saturday, isnt' it?

Indian pipes? I have never seen those in the flesh (so to speak).

You better get a nap, missy! Take one for me while you're at it.

Love the flowers.

It is Saturday. You've already made the most of it. Time to play slacker!

I dunno, Saturday means nothing to the unemployed. ;-) Those "interesting" flowers kinda creep me out! I'm such a city girl.

Those flowers are wicked cool!

Powering through sometimes works but when it doesn't, it doesn't. Nap. You really need to rest up and be on your toes for Squish. ;)

I'm with Carrie - the flowers look like something from Harry Potter's Herbology class!

Hope you got your nap, and your salad!

Wow! You didn't have to put in a new sidewalk just for me! *snort* Have you been eating chocolate covered coffee beans? I can't wait to see the river and the deer and the kids and the new front yard and most of all? I can't wait to see THE ANGIE!!!

Awesome pix of the Indian Pipe - haven't seen any of those in many years! Good luck with the landscaping - I'll be so glad when we finally get to that stage ;)
