Look what almost came home with me

Found this sweet little girl @ the barn, apparently dropped off.

She followed me about 1/2 a mile to Red's water tank & back, squalling every step. Called around, nobody knew anything about her so threw her in the truck where she proceeded to make herself at home.

Drove home trying to figure out how to merge little kitty into our two-crazy-dog family; Stopped to get gas & a lady there didn't hesitate to open her heart & home to her. YAY!! A blessing for them both, I hope. (I left my # with her, jic)

4 mile day

Ran 4 while babysis was practicing soccer, Last 'long' run before the marathon Saturday. 2 miles Wednesday, 2 water aerobics Thursday, Friday off.

How do u dress for running in cold weather? I have a Long sleeved T-shirt & my crazy long leggings: First I was cold then I warmed up, then I was too warm now I'm cold again. Fixing to go sit in the truck, at least i'll be out of the wind

Sneak peek

Playing around with some mixed media quilts

WINDOWS!!

woo-hoo! the shed is now weather tight & the junk under the red barn has a home :)

 

 

I love this pic of Red!  I can't wait til he's home with us, Time to string some fence

 

Running Update:  no running this past week, I've been puny since the 8-miler :(

Actually taught water aerobics from the deck Thursday, that was a first for me.

Back to the jogging tomorrow:  4 miles 

Sugar Daddy (add "trainer" to his resume) suggests shorter runs (since I'm coming off a sick) from now til the marathon

meteor showers tonight!!

of course, the best time to view is the early morning hours before dawn, hopefully I won't be awake then, lol.

ETA: (Sunday a.m.) the kids & I lay in the yard & saw about 5-6 meteors last night. Sugar Daddy & I went out this morning & saw a couple meteors, Venus & a satellite then SD hollered 'SKUNK!', jumped up & ran to the back door. I'm all tangled in quilts, trying to get up (trying not to spook the skunk) looking around, "where?where?"
Come to find out, he SMELLED a skunk. (All i could smell was the dog who'd been laying on the quilt) After my heart slowed back down (& he went inside) all I could hear were the legions of skunks searching thru the yard for me so I had to give it up.
.
Got the roof on the shed today, AT LAST!!  WOO-HOO!   What's left before we can cram it full of our junk?  windows, window trim, caulk & paint!  To be totally honest, I don't think the window trim, caulk & paint are going to hold me back, lol.

New oatmeal idea...

Caramel

Ooo, next time I'll try it in apple cinnamon!

need blogger advice...

I've almost figured out how to add a picture to my header BUT Blogger keeps turning my picture sideways...what am I doing wrong?

I've tried rotating the original thinking Blogger would rotate it into the proper orientation but no-go.

I've tried different sized pictures but still no difference.  Any suggestions are appreciated :)
