Record High
Saturday, September 8th 2007
They got the branches down and fed through the chipper before noon but then they had to work in the sun to cut down the massive trunks. They took frequent breaks and finished up before 4:00. Another truck came in to pick up the big stuff and got two loads out leaving one more, I think, for this morning. All this on a day when we had the highest temperature of the year and a record for the day, 95º/35º.
Good-Bye Fairies
Friday, September 7th 2007
No diet blogging this morning. I can't concentrate on anything except the crew that arrived at 7:30 to take down the two old box elders in the back. We've really enjoyed these trees for the past nineteen years and we're going to miss them. And the fairies that a little girl was once convinced lived in the gnarled old trunk of the bigger tree.But they're short-lived trees and they've gotten dangerous. We realized they had to come down when one of the trees dropped a big limb in the Apri...
More Heat

A big bump in the temperature today/tomorrow. I can't complain when it's been so much hotter for so many other folks.

If we have another late frost like last year we may have tomatoes right along.And the cactus like the heat.
I cleaned up the tomato beds yesterday and then spent the rest of the day in the kitchen so I didn't get out on ...
Sewing
Wednesday, September 5th 2007
When we moved to NY and I stopped bicycling and started gaining weight, I also stopped sewing and eventually put away all the clothes I'd made.I can't believe that now I'm pulling out some of those clothes and looking at some of the fabrics I still have too.
I don't expect to wear much of the old size 8 stuff because I would have to lose another 3 inches in my waist to do that and then I wouldn't be able to wear the size 10 clothes I've invested in more recently. But I should be able...
It's the Little Things
Tuesday, September 4th 2007
Several little things, besides the arch sleeves, have contributed to my weight-loss effort, not the least of which is the fact that Wegman's didn't carry Perry's Bittersweet Sinphony this summer and now it seems P&C has also dropped it earlier than usual. I'll be finishing off the last of what I have this week and that will eliminate my biggest temptation down the stretch.Of course going without Bittersweet Sinphony has been made much easier with the knowledge that a friend returned...
