ENJOYABLY OPTIMISTIC AND STUFF

I was about as close to a Fox this morning as I have ever been and there I stood without a camera in my hand.  The Fox was so focused on Pheebs off to my left that it didn't see me.  Of course with a couple tombstones between us I at my height held the visible advantage and saw it first.  The Fox came walking straight towards Pheebs and Pheebs didn't see it.  I stopped the Fox dead in its tracks by simply saying, 'Good Morning Mr. Fox'.  With a sudden startlement in its eyes, the Fox turned and ran like the wind across the cemetery grounds to the forest beyond.  I never did tell Pheebs about Mr. Fox being close to her and all was well.  We left the Bayfield cemetery a few minutes later and headed home after our walk there and earlier short Jeep ride through the village.

DID YOU SEE THE LITTLE BLACK SHADOW ALIEN WITH THE GREEN EYES STUDYING ONE OF OUR EARTH'S CLEMATIS FLOWERS
OUR DAY LILIES ARE AGAIN IN BLOOM
Our good friends Richard and Gayle came over for coffee around 9:30 and we happily chatted the morning away sitting in our sunroom.  It was already too hot to sit outside and who wants to be bothered by them there ding dang miserable bugs anyway.
Other than the above there really wasn't much going on today except to say......I'm feeling much better both mentally and physically, I've lost 4 pounds with my new eating habits, and my diabetes blood glucose numbers are on target.  For right now anyway I am enjoyably optimistic and stuff.....so all is good:))

My neighbor, a tailor, has a new job.
I asked him how much he enjoyed it. 
He said, "It's Sew-Sew."

  1. Good thing you called or Mr. Fox might have attacked Pheebs.
    Glad you had a better day.
    Be Safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.

  2. So glad that you are doing better! I just love the fact that you see images in pictures--like the alien. My daughter and I both do that and enjoy looking for things. I think you probably saved your faithful companion's life or at least, you saved her from injuries. Ann M

  3. Hey. "Enjoyably optimistic for right now anyway" is a great way to be. Right now anyway is what we've got. I myself have days in the dumps for no discernible reason (or at least for many little reasons and some probably not discernible) but they pass, so so far so good. Glad you don't have buyer's remorse. And that Pheebs never knew she might have had to be in a bad fight.

  4. The photos just keep getting better and better. The ones of the flowers are just beautiful. So glad that you were able to get rid of Mr. Fox and Miss Pheebs was no wiser.

  5. Oh no, that is a scary story about the fox.! Thank God you saw it, realized the danger, & protected Pheebs. Situation could have gone sideways very fast. Glad you are both safe.

  6. Sssh, don't tell Pheebs, she will be sad to have missed the chase.
    Congrats on the weight loss and keeping those numbers in check. Any kind of optimistic for any length of time is always a bonus! Yay!
