Great score! I love love love the coat (?). Very ‘Twiggy’ like. The design is just like a dress I wore to death in high school about 1969. It had wide bell chiffon sleeves and I wore orange tights with it. Good memories!

I love how fresh mulch can transform an area into looking polished and fresh. I have a yard project that is taking quite some time, but just putting down mulch transformed it from a barren dirt area to a nice little garden oasis (with trees, flowers, water feature, etc). I only wish I had your beautiful forest walkway. So lovely!

Cute little guy! I had a brief visit from 8 or 10 deer this morning as they roamed through my property. At least 3 of them were antlered bucks and they seemed to think the rut was still on because they were harassing the does a bit. Now I can see about a dozen turkey scratching around in the snow covered corn field behind my house. The turkey population seems to have decreased substantially since last year when I would often see 3-4 dozen at a time in the winter months. That trend seems to be nearly nationwide and the wildlife biologists are placing much of the blame on predators like raccoons, possums, and coyotes which have had population explosions since trapping is no longer profitable. Nature is both beautiful and ruthless.

I play Wordle every morning and share results with two of my best friends. Time means nothing to us. Take your time. One of us uses the same starting word every day so she cannot post her results until the rest of us have posted ours since her results reveal spoilers. One day I got it first word. It surprised me more than anything. Since that high point I have gone 6 and out a couple of times. We do keep a list of winning words, regularly updated by moi.
