Last night, after the blog was written, midnight was close, and I was preparing for sleep. I realized that I was about 400 steps away from 20,000 for the day. That is why I didn't get right to sleep, I paced until I got those last steps in for the day. Another thing I realized is that all my photos hadn't backed up. When I think back on my day to write this blog I look over the things I have taken pictures of. Yesterday I took pictures of a bird so that I could identify it later, then forgot.

- After mowing more of the lawn today I took some time and pulled out my bottle of spiced sekanjabin. Here is a recipe for a mint sekanjabin. This bottle was a gift when I stepped into the role of Baroness over two years ago. It got misplaced for a little while, then I probably went through a quarter of the bottle, then about half the bottle last summer. This leaves about a quarter of the bottle that the sugar has crystalized, but it is still delicious. I tried soaking the bottle in hot water today to loosen it some. Tomorrow I will just add water since it is a concentrate.
- Earlier in the spring I planted a raspberry bush that has done nothing. The wild ones on the property seem to be doing alright though. I expect that the birds will get them before I do, I'm okay with that, this year.

- I was lamenting with Keziah about an exchequer issue I have been having. She doesn't exchequer. She claims that spreadsheets break when she looks at them. This issue though, she understood my frustration and made sure I knew it. It is nice when my daughter 'gets me.' It doesn't always happen.
