I mowed the back yard this morning, and of course it looks much better now. 

Then I took a shower, and now I look (and feel) much better also.

Think I'll go treat myself to a pedicure today before my trip to Texas.

While I'm out I plan to pick up my new glasses.  That should help me see well enough <g> to go through my stash and see if I have the right color sashing for Jeff & Priscilla's wedding quilt.  I love the suggestion Vicki and her quilting friend Ellie (visiting from Florida) gave me yesterday.  The new color will help perk up the quilt (the colors Priscilla requested are not bright enough for my taste) and has me jazzed about the effect.
