Chilly this morning, 54º/12º, and we left the house open last night. It's hard to type; I don't want to put my warm coffee mug down.

I now have 10 pounds to go to reach my personal goal. 10 pounds or 6 weeks, whichever comes first. I'm ready to be done with this and I want to establish a 'maintenance' diet before the weather changes.

And the weather is beginning to change. The birds know it. The hummingbirds are chubbing up at the feeders and the agastache rupestris.
