About your shins, no pumpkin for Boud, but it's okay

 Starting out with a quotation that picks up from a passage in Mary Moon's blog Bless our Hearts, go there for some lovely writing and musing, meanwhile

I often feel amazed this way. Then I hope I'm living in a way that pays my dues for being here at all.

Misfits emailed me they'd shipped today, for this afternoon. Shipping is when they find out if they can include everything. It's opportunistic marketing, and you take your chances, so sometimes items aren't available after all. 

Today it's the plums and, shock, horror, the pumpkin! I can pick one up at the farm though. And what they do send is a lot better, and cheaper, than I can get locally.

While I was writing, misfits showed up

My hand evidently wobbled on the last one, which I can't shoot again because the food's away or in water to rinse.  Anyway the walnuts and apricots will go into the next batch of granola, the rainbow chard finally showed up after several tries, and I have enough bread for a siege. Also butter to go on it. I always buy unsalted, so that I know how much there is total, when I bake.

And here's an edit, rainbow chard looks like a fairytale forest

And here's the place to go for the walking exercise. This channel is where I found the great exercise for my neck, and he's worth following. He explains everything, so you know what you're doing. Also he's cute, which doesn't hurt.

He specializes in older people, so you're in hands that don't push you into doing what you did thirty years ago. 

And if you're more up for sitting and puzzling, here's a Haggard Hawks

This is the kind of puzzle that makes me want to make up my own. Yet another hobby, along with the whistling, which is coming along pretty well. I could whistle while I puzzle, come to think of it.

Happy day, everyone, go ahead, multitask, the multitask police won't ticket you if you put the apples in your purse and your sunglasses in the pie.

I'm making this blog a stress-free zone, if I can. We know the news is bad, we do our bit to help, and in here we can just amuse each other, if you're up for it.
