Barefoot mopping the kitchen floor, I slipped and broke my toe on the table leg a couple of weeks ago. Big toe is a big balancer I have discovered, and when not working balance doesn't work. Judy's rule, wear shoes? but of course I will never learn, being from southern california and spending most of my life barefoot. First broken toe at 67 isn't bad I guess with that record.Sue Malonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332448503740101970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-29102940979922267382013-07-05T08:10:22.615-05:002013-07-05T08:10:22.615-05:00I am not comfortable if I have cold feet.

Usually I always wear socks too.<br /><br />When in SD last year there were numerous grouse living in the rv park. They made morning and nightly treks in front of our site each day.

The right side gets cut off, especially in Feedly. It used to happen in google reader too. I think it has to do with your sidebar being on the left side. Have you ever considered putting it on the right, so that all your wonderful pictures aren't cut off?Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01582990912598134354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-83232475477697478722013-07-04T14:43:35.290-05:002013-07-04T14:43:35.290-05:00Funny - I go barefoot all the time.

We did take the Blackbird road trail you suggested and saw an eagle and a loon with 2 babies. At times they got up on her back. it was great seeing them. We also saw a swan with 2 babies. We will include these photo's in a future blog. We also left behind our pocket binoculars. I believe we left them lay on the railing on the first info kiosk on route 26, should someone turn them in. Keep the wonderful pictures coming.
