Busy day, lazy morning, rambling post

Ah, those lazy mornings.....

I spent yesterday doing the Armadillocon writing workshop and talking with friends. A great day, though it started early! But here's the weird thing (to those of you that know me well) — early doesn't bug me anymore! I'm down to one cuppa joe in the am, and I'm waking up before 7 on the weekends and before 6 (often before 5) on the weekdays. And I actually love it! My morning ritual is to sit outside on the back porch and read first thing, and let our old cat Tiger wander outside while I'm out there.

The vet said to only let her wander once the sun comes up…apparently we have owls in the neighborhood!

And yesterday I got some GREAT news while at the con! Tiger does NOT have cancer as they'd thought! She does have something wrong, and we're not sure what, but hopefully antibiotics will cure it. So we're all doing a happy dance here.

Anyhoo, started this morning off with the ritual (thus the feet picture above). Here's a bit of the backyard, which is shaping up despite the heat (note the lack of mowing, but it's too dang hot). Have a LOT of weeding to do (the part that ain't in the picture), and if I weren't off to the con today, I think that would be a weekend project. (Thank you Armadillocon for saving me from the heat!).

Herbs in the silver tub, zucchini down the way. The birds LOVE the birdbath!

Major yummy!

I'm also cooking more. If anyone is interested in what Catherine calls the "Best Quiche Ever" pop over to my Paleo-ish blog — I just posted the recipe!

Okay, I'm off to do some fast house stuff and then head to the con! So, what are y'all's plans for today?
