May 28, 2013 - There Is Always Hope

Sandals are important, because I wore them today for the first time in ten months!

Late evening over the river

Bullocks oriole in the back yard

I did actually wear sandals today.  Okay, so I wasn't on my feet much, and I took them off after I got home.  Still...it's a beginning!  Meanwhile, I went through all my shoes.  A good 2/3rds of them no longer fit and will be given away.  I have decided that what I really need is a pair of black dress shoes (flats) that I can wear, and I'll be good.  I'll just do without all the other colors and styles I had.  I'm happy to be back in shoes at all!
 
Meanwhile, outside, my husband and I spent quite a bit of time this evening watching the orioles that are nesting in our maple tree.  Earlier in the day, the neighbors cat came by to visit - I wondered why all the birds were dive-bombing the back deck.  I found the cat, cowering under a step.  I doubt she'll be back any time soon.  Everything from sparrows to robins were after her.  The birds are fearless when protecting their young.
