A sign of impending winter - the Eurasian Jay has started hanging out in our backyard again. I only see him in the fall. He is such a striking bird. I'm not sure what he's finding in our backyard, but whatever it is, I'm glad that he likes it. I was so insane about taking his picture when I first noticed him, but he has an aversion to my camera (and always seems to know when I have it trained on him), so I just decided to let him be.
Lance and I got a lot of work done today. We have 3 rooms in the basement, so he put everything that we're leaving behind in one room, and everything else that we're taking with us is in the main room. I have an ever-growing stack of things to take to the Park & Sell. And I need to find someone who is willing to care for my plants...I'm just giving those away. We should find out this week when the movers are coming, so I need to find a new home for these plants ASAP.
Lance just got through the shred pile yesterday, and now it's building again. We're buying a new shredder when we get to Seattle. This one will likely burn out before we're done with it here.
I think we're mostly done now for the day, so I'm relaxing for the rest of the evening. I made a good dinner tonight...as pretentious as I can be sometimes about food, I'm telling you that the best chicken parmesan is made with Shake 'n Bake. For serious. I use the Italian flavor and add a teaspoon of garlic powder before I add the chicken. Mmmmmmmmmmm! Lance was a very happy man. Especially because I made dinner extra carb-loaded with sides of spaghetti and garlic bread.
Starting a new book this evening. And already I'm sleepy, so I don't know how far I'll get in reading it.
