Sweaty

I went down to Zambaldi this morning to visit with DS and it was very warm and humid in the brewhouse. He was very sweaty mashing in and getting the batch of Good Dog Porter going. I got there just after he finished getting the grains in the mash tun and was hosing off the hopper that the grain goes through into the tun. I didn't stay too long because standing hurt my knee.

 

This House Finch was on the platform feeder in the sunshine and it's head and breast were so bright I had to take a picture. Naturally it's blurry. Of course it is.

 

My cleaning lady came this afternoon and while she was cleaning I transcribed eight more story starts onto the Alphasmart and then into Word. My house is so nice and clean now. She does such a good job.

 

The Black-eyed Susans are still blooming but I don't want to climb the hill to take a close-up picture of them because I don't want to hurt my knee even more so you get this long range photo that's a little blurry like the bird picture today.

 

I didn't draw again today and I didn't do a gratitude journal page this evening because I had the Writer's Guild meeting. I promise I'll do both of them tomorrow. After I go to the market for bananas, denture fizzies, and arnica cream. A writer friend told me that I should get arnica cream to put on my sore muscle. I'm ready to try anything. I dug out the Biofreeze today and have rolled that on the back of my knee a couple times. It helps for a while.
