Just a moment.

• I've started taking an after-dinner walk.  Partly to get in an extra 2 miles for the day (if we walk all the way to the lighthouse) and partly to wear Finn out a little bit between dinner and bedtime.
• Sometimes we stop and throw rocks into the lake.
• Every night we see a mama deer and her baby deer and some assorted deer family members (about 6 in all) having a bedtime snack in the field by the lake.
• I think it's awesome but have yet to remember to bring my big-girl camera (camera phones do not take very good distance pictures.).
• So far the walks have been working and bedtime for my Tiny Overlord has been a snap.
• I'm still dealing with spotty internets.  It's not very fast and certainly it's not conducive to getting things done in a timely manner (like Christmas shopping, because I've started that already.).
• I've also been up to my elbows in the gardens.
• Yes, plural.
• I have dirt under my nails and scratches up and down my arms and my shoulder is a little achy at night and my knees have permanent rock dents in them.
• I have never been so proud!  And so tired.
• Bedtime is a snap for me, too!
• I'm also trying to shake this weird post-move anxiety that I seem to have acquired as of late.  
• I'm back to making my bed when I get up so I'm not tempted to get back into it.
• Today is Julia Child's birthday - she would have been 100.
• Ironically, I've been reading Julie & Julia by Julie Powell (in about 2 paragraph snippets before I fall asleep in bed at night!).
• In honor of JC, I'm going to make something tres, tres French today!
