He looked like he surely was going to fall, but of course he didn&#8217;t because he&#8217;s a squirrel, and he proceeded to pluck a big nut off the tip of the branch and then scurried back to polish it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/j28.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21873\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/j28.jpg 540w, https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/j28-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 540px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I took a video, and looked up the tree and it&#8217;s a paw paw and I&#8217;d never seen anything like that, a squirrel gnawing so fast and furiously.

I though they didn&#8217;t pop up til August, but I was wrong.  I sure would love some of them in my yard sometime.  Hmm, maybe they&#8217;re something that deer don&#8217;t eat? I could plant a bunch of them out front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/j30.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21875\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/j30.jpg 540w, https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/j30-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 540px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">There was a triathlon on the 27th and I took this picture at 6:15 in the morning!  We went down to see if we could see any swimmers but didn&#8217;t see any.  I think they weren&#8217;t going to start til later, so I went back to bed.  Oh well, I&#8217;m sure they had a fun time out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/j31.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21876\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/j31.jpg 540w, https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/j31-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 540px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">That evening we went to a &#8220;white party&#8221; at the fabulous Danenberger Winery.  You were supposed to wear all white, and this is as much as I had.  I&#8217;m sporting my Harry Potter purse, which I&#8217;ve only worn one time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/j32.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21877\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/j32.jpg 400w, https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/j32-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Because Amy hadn&#8217;t ever been to Danenberger, her reaction was just like mine was the first time I saw it &#8211; she ran all around like crazy, marveling at how cool it is.

I was with Randy and I should have had him drive because suddenly the rain was a huge deluge and I couldn&#8217;t see the road and was panicking big-time.  We somehow made it home.  Whew.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">When I woke up in the middle of the night I was having Afib.  I think it&#8217;s because I&#8217;d done a vigorous weightlifting workout earlier in the day, then lots of dancing that night and then the anxiety from the scary pouring rain.  I&#8217;m going to try not to have all of that going on in a day, and will hopefully be able to stop having the Afib episodes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I actually had another one in the middle of the night on August 22nd, and I attribute that to getting up in the morning and immediately running around and fixing lunch for a little luncheon party and then giving a massage and then hosting the luncheon and then going for a run afterwards because the weather was so good.  Was that why it happened?  Do I need to stop doing so much?  I kind of think that&#8217;s the reason.  It&#8217;s disconcerting that it happened only a few weeks apart.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">It&#8217;s always something.  Meanwhile&#8230;the end of August is rapidly approaching&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Ok then,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Mrs. H.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plus many other exciting things in July&#8230; On July 27th, my friend Gena and I were taking a walk through the lovely Lincoln Memorial Gardens, and we came upon a squirrel who ran way out on to the very tip of a branch on a tree.
