THE FOX RETURNS

Last loop just pulled on my version of 1922 Fox but still needs steaming and binding.
In case you'd like to refresh your memory on what the original antique looked like here it is.  Not sure I do myself any favors by posting the originals but ....
Normally I try to hook the main motif like the original but wanted my foxy fox to look like a traditional Delaware Red Fox with the white chest and tip of tail.  But was unsuccessful in getting the wool on the legs to look like them.

Friend Robin said she hoped my lake was drying up.  So went outside to take a couple pictures to show it isn't dry, but getting there.  In fact with the winds you can see that wood limbs have been floating up from either the farm behind me or from my back woods.   There are still lots of smaller limbs, pine cones and other debris which I'll need to pick up before ruining the blades on my mower.
Previously I tried cutting the green grass weeds you see in the foreground but it was and might be still too soggy.  Here is another photo just to the right of the previous photo which shows how that area has started to dry up with dead dry leaves and whatever else has washed up from the wind.  
Who knows what will be growing on that piece of land when it does get dry enough to cut.

Was chilly today so I made a delicious Moroccan soup as I love the flavors of the spices in it (coriander, cumin, ginger, cayenne, turmeric and cinnamon),  plus they have healing properties.

ANOTHER DETOUR

Otherwise known as 'bored again'.  While the sunflower was a fun and short-lived diversion it was time for me to reconnect with the fox.  You will see more of the sunflower in a couple days.  Meanwhile I did fill in the date and spot above the fox.
Friend Lauren has asked what is next and told her there are a couple I'm interested in but no decisions yet as I'm so fickle.  That plus a few doctor appointments coming up ~ will get my permanent crown tomorrow then two other days will have leg vein work done.  

Our bodies, just like other machinery requires work done to improve performance.  If only that was true to "improve" performance; I'll be happy if it 'continues' performance.

Wind was horrific today but did manage to push the mower in Ben's back yard in areas where the ground wasn't so difficult to push it.  The soil is still quite a mess back there.  The further back in the yard toward the woods is worse.  Oh well, that's how it is here.
