I drove out to get milk and a couple of other items I forgot yesterday, and decided to take some pictures of the creek - it runs behind the houses across the road, but I got the photo from the small bridge on the way out to the main road. I wish I had taken these a week or so ago as it was much higher. Click to enlarge.

A few years ago I saw a blue heron wading in this creek and I didn't have my camera handy. I've always regretted not getting the picture.
While I'm showing photos, here is the finished "Coca Cola puzzle". We are now working on a very difficult puzzle which just shows a collection of Ukranian easter eggs. They are beautiful but the puzzle is difficult at first. I'm going to work some more on it after my treadmill walk and then lunch.
I went to Rite Aid yesterday to get a new watch battery, figuring I'm a fairly intelligent woman and should be able to change batteries. I couldn't get the back of the watch off, and the woman at Rite Aid spent about 15 minutes with different tools trying to pry it up. No luck, and I brought it back home - my son couldn't find a tool that would remove the back. I will have to go to Sears and hope they can do it, but I'm not driving that far in traffic just for a watch battery, unless I have another reason to go in that direction. So I'm doing without my watch for a while. Life was easier when a watch stopped because you forgot to wind it!
I just made a protein shake and think I broke the blender. I added some frozen berries and probably should have let them thaw a bit first.
- Great Day, So Far!
I drove to Sears this morning to find they didn't have a watch repair dept. A friendly clerk told me about a kiosk on the lower level, and I had a new battery in about one minute! It cost about double what I might have paid for the battery...

I haven't felt much like blogging lately. Sunday went very well, except that Sandy's grandmother has been in and out of the hospital with heart problems so Joshua's great grandparents were absent. My grandson did an excellent job of...
- The Deer Arrived, Finally!
I've been wanting to see the deer come down out of the woods and this morning is the first time I've noticed them. Usually they are here 2 at a time, but we saw six of them in the yard this morning. Before that, I got up this morning to...

I haven't done much of anything the past two days since I opened up that jigsaw puzzle box. I need to go to Target but decided it would be less crowded on Monday, so I'm putting it off until tomorrow. This represents two days of work...
