My legs were feeling a little achy this morning after all of that walking and measuring and cooking, but the counter covered with jelly jars this morning was a welcoming sight! And Susie walked down with little Max and we drank tea and toasted bagels for breakfast - how nice to get back to that again! The fact that she walk slowly, is still weak on the left side, and has a much smaller dog are signs of all she has been through, but all things considered, she has come a very long way fast!

Lots of stuff to do around here today, and they'll just have to be done in the heat. The kitchen is reclaimed, I boiled vinegar in the pot from canning to get the mineral crust off the bottom (I do like my big steel pots to look shiny and new!) I know the Olympics are on, but I'm not planning to watch them all day long.
