Bird Houses

The birdhouse class was fun. The farm grows and dries the gourds and leaves the insides for the birds who use it to build their nests. I picked this one because I love the stains from the outer mold-like substance that forms while it's drying. 

Probably should have used different
colors for the gnome to go with natural look.

We used these pens -- simple to do (since the farm did all the hard work), but hard to draw details.

I hope we get a bird family. Maybe Asheville is best because I have more trees to hang it.

We grabbed a quick lunch at a new-to-me coffee shop -- nice little catchup with my girlfriend after all.

Infant CPR class. This kind of thing seems to always be in the evening -- my foggiest time. I've been a morning person since I can remember. Where are the midday classes? I have 2 garden classes coming up in the evening too. I'm old before my time.

It was a good class and good reminders.

We got a wedding save-the-date for another wedding in October -- luckily different weekends. I'm so excited, but this probably means I'm not going to Belgium as a tag along for hubby's board meeting. We'll need to figure another trip. I don't want to miss this wedding. It's my son's close friend and a family that we have a long history. It's such an honor to get invited. One Boston wedding, one NY wedding. So fun and I can wear the same dress because there's no guest overlap.

I was suppose to have a court hearing for the volunteer assignment but it got postponed. I wonder if this will mess up my trip to Asheville? I had already rescheduled my dentist appointment so today is an unexpected free day. It worked out though because I woke to a mouth full of cold sores on my gum line -- not ideal for a dentist visit. And my recovery is the lowest it's EVER been -- maybe I'm cooking a little cold?? Or my monthly is coming? Or I'm rundown. No matter -- I need to have a restful, healthy day. 

If I didn't have a volunteer meeting tomorrow, I'd go to Asheville today. (Of course, if I end up sick, I won't go to the meeting.) It was extremely frustrating that one of the pregnant women at the class was obviously sick. Sneezing, coughing. People piss me off. There were a lot of pregnant women that she exposed to something. Not cool. Hope that doesn't come for me either. 

Later gators.
