It's Outdoor Wednesday and even though I'd love being in the mountains, my early walk with my neighbors will have to suffice.  I love having others to go start the morning with and to talk about what's happening in our lives.  I'm really hoping to get to the gym as soon as I'm done walking-it's been difficult to get back into my routine since we got back from vacation.  I have only made it twice a week, but I'm really planning on getting back to a third day.    Last Wednesday,  we saw this beautiful Monarch, unfortunately it was injured and I'm not sure if it could fly.  I love Monarchs and we don't see them very often here, so it was a special treat.  This afternoon I hope to spend more time in my sewing room and organize myself for making Christmas presents for friends.

I hope you have a fantastic day today and rejoice in the beauty of creation!
