Had an hour of dance class yesterday morning, then gym'ed yesterday evening (501 calories burned) and this evening (600 calories burned). I am Being Virtuous.
I purchased cucumbers and beets (among other things) at the farmer's market yesterday, with the intent of pickling them. Separately! Since I'm on my last jar of dill cucumber pickles from last year, and good pickled beets are pricey. But it's late, so pickling's going to be finished tomorrow night.
I saw the hummingbird take another bath in the fountain yesterday, so I half-filled the hummingbird feeder this morning and set it out. I hope the ants don't discover it as they have in years past. I've also been keeping an eye on what other birds are in the yard. There's this pair of horrible raucous bluejays I suspect have a nest in one of our trees. They keep dive-bombing the cats. I have informed the cats they have open season on them. There are also a trio of goldfinches, and a trio of a smaller blue bird I haven't identified yet. I feel like I should find a book, Birds of Orange County, or something. For now the internet is sufficing.
I dug amendments into one of the long fence beds today, moving all the walking onions down to one end in the process. Also switched the hose around so now all the beds have their connector ends down the center aisle. Simplifies things. One, maybe one and a half beds left to go. Just as well; I'm down to 2/3 of a trashcan of compost, and Wonderful Husband is starting to make noise about harvesting some out of the bins, and I haven't anyplace else to store it while it cures.
