I saw the most interesting things yesterday on the wall where the roses are.

The first was a baby 'possum cautiously exploring the top of the block wall behind the roses. Adult 'possums are kinda gross looking, but babies are the cutest!

Then I saw a white cabbage butterfly and yellow sulfur butterfly duking it out. They look the same except for color, but they're entirely different species. Despite that, apparently they see each other as competitors or rivals.

Then I saw a butter butt (yellow warbler) flitting thru the shrubs, and a big old fence lizard sunning himself on the wall.

Cool on the critter spotting. Bird wise all I see are pigeons, crows and sea gulls. Can hear robins and another bird but not sure what it is.

All done for today. Groceries and I got the measurements for that collapsing storage box at Walmart. It is 15 by 15 and my card table measures 27 by 27, so I can easily get it.

Was going to get something for my nails and such then move them so I can reach them. Well, I realized that I had something I had bought at a local dollar store. It didn't fit what I wanted to do, so it will work perfectly for that.

Careful with that collapsible stuff, Brenda. Just remember you get what you pay for and sometimes products like that don't stand up well to any abuse. If this is still about the ottoman, just make sure whatever you're getting is going to be able to do what you intend it to do.

It's nice when something you bought that was a mistake ends up working out somewhere else.

Still not getting much faster at what I'm doing. Part of that is because I veered off course today and to do some landscaping here and trim off the really bad parts first. Things that needed to be moved into their own spot, were rather infrequent, usually came in large batches when they did pop up, and completely derailed my momentum whenever they did.

But now that I've gone back through the normal route, there's still another annoyance that is popping up often enough to ruffle my feathers when it does, so I think it's time to veer a little off course again.

Though what I'm doing isn't ever going to go fast, I think once I take care of this other thing it will be as fast as it's ever going to get.

It should be able to hold up until I can think of something better. My files are going into it, so that should give it a bit more stability.

It is nice. Now, just finding the five minutes to get that done.

Quiet Sunday with clean up and some music. Email I still haven't sent I really, really, really need to get to today. *fingers crossed*.
