One of those days

This was one of those stone days, as opposed to diamonds, but it ended nicely.  Emma woke me up several times last night with her barking.  She never barks at night.  I couldn’t find anything wrong, but it resulted in a poor night’s sleep.  Maybe she heard some cows in the surrounding fields.  Who knows?

 

There was a volunteer meeting this morning, and Stephanie asked how I was doing on the educational stuff.  Well, I haven’t done a thing about that.  I hate that office type work, but it looks like I’ll have to get busy with that in the next week.  :(

 

Then this afternoon, Emma and I took a drive to try to get some good pictures.  In my mind’s eye, I had some fantastic shots of a ruby-crowned kinglet, a vermillion flycatcher, and a yellow-rumped warbler.  When I got home to edit the pictures, they were all awful.  Not even one was worth saving.  It’s been quite a while since I’ve totally bombed out on a photo trip.  It was just one of those days.

As the sun began to set, I put on my hooded sweatshirt (to ward off the mosquitoes) and stepped outside.

There was a marvelous sunset tonight.  It kind of put things into perspective.  If this is a stone day for me, my life is really mostly diamonds.  :)  In the great scheme of things, today was just a tiny pebble in the road of life.  I know that, and I’m thankful.

 

Thanks for stopping by…. talk to you later,  Judy
