[gottawonder]

Today I am grateful for:

A beautiful sunny day. This sure has been a great stretch of weather.

Not so much gratitude, but a moment of remembrance for the events of 9/11.

A useful day in town. I picked up the special urinary tract food for Jones, got the mail, paid the bills, went to the dentist to check on a molar (a filling, to be done next week), had a fun time at the thrift store, and got groceries.

I'm very glad that the molar just needs a filling (or so far that's what they think it needs).

I came home and got a bunch of dishes washed and made a fast supper.

Early this morning when I did chores (before I go to bed, because I'm all reversed) it was so beautiful. About 4 am, and all the stars that you don't see during peak summer (because the sun barely goes down behind the horizon, so the sky isn't completely dark) are out again. It was only a half moon, but VERY bright. There was mist hovering around the ground. I sat with the goats and ponies for a while just star gazing and listening to the night sounds of owls and such.

I also noticed that some marks in the wood of our kitchen floor are not random after all. It's a pentagram with a circle in the middle (not around the outside like you'd normally see). You can only really see it if you're looking for it, but when you see it, it's quite clear and it's nicely done. I wonder what the story is; a lot of farmers used to paint pentagram designs for good luck on barns, maybe this is similar. I noticed this the other day while I was sitting on the floor with one of our cats.
