Growing Up, Growing Down, Growing All Around the Town

I have been tired. I am needing to improve my exercise tolerance. 

Today it is cooler, and I feel a lot better. I have done some outdoor chores, but not all. I am trying not to work too hard, to let my body rest regularly.

I cooked a zucchini given to my love as a present. I ate some, and it was good. A nice veggie with my lunch!

There are so many birds today.

Birds I heard today during 30 minutes outside: Tufted titmouse (most regular, think a nest), American goldfinch (piping up regularly - very numerous this year), Northern cardinal (off & on, but very loud), black-capped chickadee (a distress call!), field sparrow (has been a regular this year, have only seen twice), Eastern towhee (regular for last couple of years, distinctive call, off & on), house wren (So NOISY!)
