thursday
I'd been hopeful about viewing the partial eclipse of the sun that was supposed to be happening at dawn this morning. I set the alarm for 5:30 so I could get up to the hill on Keely Rd by 5:45. Fog. I was hoping that maybe up on the hill there wouldn't be fog. But even without the fog the sky was overcast. So then I thought the hill up on Victory Heights might be better. Got there and sat in the Home Depot parking lot for a while hoping for a break in the cloud cover. In the parking lot a mother killdeer and her two babies were so cute gliding back and forth on their little legs. The highlight of the morning so far. I gave up finally around 6:10 and on the way home I got an egg and cheese biscuit at McD's. Came home and let the chickens out. Sat outside, eating my sandwich and watching them. Looks like it's going to be a beautiful morning now. The sky is clearing and the sun is starting to peek out.
The next thing on the agenda: I've been thinking that since I'm going to a wedding this weekend maybe it would be nice to get my hair looking a little better. I always cut it myself with Dave's help in the back. It is a basic chop job with no style. Which is okay for me most the time. But then when I go around people at a social event I feel like a backwoods hillbilly. It's not just the hair. It's the clothes, the shoes, the (non) makeup. I just don't know how to present myself in a fancied-up attractive way. The main thing that is comforting about all this (and it gets better all the time) is that no one looks at old people anyway so people will not be noticing me in the first place. ANYway... I still do think it might be nice to get a better haircut for once and I will be looking into that today. Also going to check my closet and see if I have anything that would look good for a wedding.
Oh - here's a couple pix I took yesterday:
On the Lake Wilhelm trail. I was walking there with Jan in the morning. I always like to take a picture at this spot.
Later in the day - Rainy at the creek.
