Walk to Union Road and back, leisurely breakfast -- then an hour of vacuuming. On the road to home by a bit after noon. Need rain in Michigan and found some at home. Will try to send it your way, Marty. Hope to add more steps tonight, rain or no rain. Maybe the bike, or...

Here's a close-up of the cup plant from yesterday, showing how it gets its common name. The leaves form a cup, holding water when it rains. Speaking of water -- here's also a photo of another cup, this one part of a set given to me for my birthday by DSis2 (better known as @Mary) for use in our cabin. Used for the first time. DSis2 has the knack of knowing just what gifts will be really appreciated.

However did I manage to type in 29,000+ steps? That was wrong! Here's the correct total.
Alternate aerobic exercise minutes: vacuuming -- 67 min

Had to combine them in Photoshop. It works.

Nice pics.  I have never heard of a "cup" plant.  How unique.  Mary, that's a nice gift you gave your sis.  Hope you all great day.

Pretty glasses - looks like they are nice and big to hold that hydration we all need.  Very good steps - I admire any woman who gets 67 minutes of vacuuming done!  Woo Hoo!  I usually just do one area at a time so that makes it 6 or 7 minutes - not aerobic.

Just goes to show you how dirty it was :) Actually, there had been three groups at the cabin since the last time we'd been there ourselves -- and while they all cleaned up after themselves, still...

we have a wild plant here that always has a drop of dew in it in the morning. It is called Marikåpe (Mary's coat). I will try to find name and pic for you.

An excellent name for a plant. I'm sure the plant is gorgeous.

Did you see Debby's photo of it, Mary -- she posted it a bit ago.
