A Thousand Beautiful Things
June 7, 2008…and here is just one of ‘em:
…a Painted Lady!
She looks a bit worse for wear, but given the wind/rain storms we’ve had lately, I think she’s doing pretty good!
She took a minute early yesterday evening to light upon the salvia under the ninebark…I have to move that salvia as the ninebark has grown so much and covers it up.

In other news:
It’s been over a week since I’ve been wearing soft contacts — I should have tried them a long time ago! They are the ACUVUE® OASYS™ type, monovision kind. My rigid gas perms were giving me trouble since Christmas when I noticed I couldn’t see the words very well on my cheatsheet church music. Then I couldn’t make out numbers very well at work. My work IS numbers, so that was very frustrating! Cranking the light up, moving the monitor closer, wearing reading glasses, squinting — oh what a circus! Gee, maybe I should go see my optometrist… Anyway — another take on the “once I was blind, but now I can see” thing…!
AND…
Sophie the cairn terrier has been born!!! She was a week old yesterday. The breeder posted pictures of her litter mates and Sophie is all cuddled up with her sister. They are all so into their puppy-cuteness! Seven weeks and counting before we can go pick her up. In the meantime, I have at least three dog gates, a crate, and crate pad to get ordered this morning. Egads…I need a doggie shower! Wonder if I can register at PetSmart or somewhere…
