Steve’s off helping one of his kids move. I’ll spend the day puttering around the house. There’s laundry and photos from last week. A few things to put away from yesterday’s party. Last week I spent way more time with Moms of toddlers than I usually do. I was disheartened to see so many who were so very engaged with their cell phone and disengaged with the toddler dangling from the other arm. I hope some of these women (Yes, every one was female. I did not witness this behaviour in any of the Dads) take note of Garry Trudeau’s Doonesbury comic in today’s paper.

I was standing on the scale watching two leggy brown creatures frolic on my lawn. And nibbling on our future christmas trees! A doe stepped out of the woods and I realized they were fawns! Avery was in bed by 8 and asleep by 9 last night. She woke up just once during the night. I got up at 6 to find her asleep in my bedroom chair and she didn’t get up until 7. We are well rested today! Walk around the Farm: 55 minutes, 3.02 miles, 18:12/3.1, HR=112. I actually fell asleep laying on a picnic table in the shade after my walk. Avery was barefoot when I picked her up because she steped in a cow pie and the teacher had to rinse out her socks and scrub her shoes. She’s selected some interesting outfits for camp. For a long time I couldn’t get her to wear the (purposely) mismatched socks, but now they are her favorites. Pulled up to her knees, under capri pants with bright green (her color choice) sandals. We’ve made a margarita pie to serve at the family reunion. Currently the Window Washer is hearing her life story.
