The foot decorates the outside
The feet get ready for Christmas
The feet got a Christmas tree this week. It's a good tree.
Unfortunately it was about 6 inches too tall. So the foot had to chop off the bottom 10 inches of the tree. Somehow in the process, the top of the tree fell off. Sandra's foot may have accidentally stepped on it, but she denies it. We don't believe her. Poor tree - to know that it gave its life in order to glorify the foot, and in its big moment it loses a foot off the top. Could there be some significance to this - a foot falls off when brought near to the foot? Futures generations will ponder on this...
So, this was a job for crazy glue. The foot glued the top of the tree back on. The foot was very careful not to get any crazy glue on the foot - it bonds instantly to skin. Could you imagine what havoc that could have wreaked on the perfection?

After the snow
Sandra's Feet in her new boots
The first snowstorm of the season
The foot taking note of its early progress.
When the feet went to put on their boots the next day, the feet noticed that the boots were old and worn down. Certainly not worthy to house the foot. So Sandra's and Leo's feet went shopping for boots.
Please note the worthiness of the new boots to house such perfection.

The foot has been very busy lately
Here is the foot posing with the dresser that the foot assembled. Twice. It had a lean the first time, so the foot had to disassemble the dresser and correct the lean. The foot was not happy. But the final result pleases the foot. This dresser is in the nursery - 2 months until Foot Jr makes his or her first appearance in the world.
Sometimes Isabel follows the foot all around the house. And sometimes the foot deigns to allow her to adore the foot.
Assorted baby stuff - you will notice the nice yellow colour - the foot painted this room. It's a less offensive yellow than the dining room. The foot likes yellow.
As well, Sandra reports that Foot Jr seems to have a strong and capable foot - constantly kicking her in the ribs and bladder. Well done Foot Jr.

Raking leaves
The feet spent a good part of the afternoon raking the leaves on the front lawn. Normally the feet shy away from manual labour, as it is beneath our dignity. But it is also good exercise for the feet so the feet sometimes humble themselves and engage in activities reserved for the common folk.
Here are the feet resting after a hard afternoon's work.

The foot is working from home today
Yes, the foot works. I'm sure most of you simply assumed that the foot was independently wealthy. Perhaps a foot model. No - the foot likes to mix with the common folk.
The foot had to stay home today - furniture was being delivered. And what sort of furniture would necessitate the foot remaining at home? Foot furniture of course - a new ottoman. Here is the foot relaxing in the style to which it is accustomed.
The foot has also brewed up a pot of tea. Only the best tea for the foot - Darjeeling Goomtee Fine Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe from Harrod's. Consistently classed as one of the best Darjeeling gardens.

The cat
In ancient Egypt, the Egyptians used to worship cats as gods. Now the roles have been revered. Here is Isabel worshiping the foot. Could she do any less?
Here she is, rapt in awe, after having been allowed to venerate the foot. She remained in this position, purring softly, unable or unwilling to move, for 7 hours.

The foot preparing for bed
Sandra adoring the feet
Living in such close proximity to perfection is surprisingly a difficult ordeal for Sandra. Throughout the day she is compelled by unseen forces to adore and stroke the feet. She can't stop herself. She must adore them.
You will notice that her hand has deformed into a claw-like apparatus from the constant stroking of the feet.

More of Sandra's feet
Foot miscellany
The foot just planted 150 bulbs in the back. It was hard work - digging with your toes is not easy. We have to wait until spring for the flowers to appear.
The foot in the Zen garden meditating on its own perfection.
The feet relaxing in their slippers - note the royal purple with pearl inlay.
The foot examining the Bowflex which Sandra gave to Leo on his birthday. So many foot exercises, but so little time in the day to do them.
The new lazy boy recliner - a fitting throne for such perfection.

I know what you're thinking
Thanksgiving
Here is the foot looking on with approval at the new dining room table and china cabinet. The dark wood fits in nicely with the yellow.
The foot and the Thanksgiving Day turkey - 17 lbs. There were 11 people at dinner - it was a busy day for the feet - running around, cooking and entertaining. And time also had to set aside for the guests to render obeisance to the foot.

Kilungi okwagala Leo’s ebigere. Kiri ataliiko kamogo
Jambo rafiki, mtapenda langu miguu. Ziko kamili.
The foot has found the battery recharger and has taken numerous pictures over the Thanksgiving weekend. We hope to have these posted to the blog by day's end.

In the meantime, I invite you to bask in the glow of the dining room painted by Leo's Foot. The colour didn't look that yellow when we picked it out. But it's grown on the foot - the foot likes it. The foot thinks that it's a fitting place to model its perfection.
When Leo is sad and needs to be cheered up, he will come into this room and gaze upon his foot

The foot would like to apologize
For the lack of updating to this blog lately. As those who faithfully read this blog will know, the foot has recently moved into a new house. And in the process of moving the foot has somehow misplaced the battery recharger for the double A batteries that are used by the foot's camera. So until the recharger is found amidst the boxes, there will be no new pictures of the foot.
This is very unfortunate - the foot has been engaged in some blog-worthy news of late - painting, house work, yard work, you name it. The foot has been busy but there is nothing to record these momentous events.
Please say a prayer for the foot at church on Sunday morning, that it may find the battery recharger and record these events for the historical record. The foot thanks you for your prayers.

Pulling stumps
The feet have been engaged in a massive struggle against the stumps in the front yard. Here is a picture of the feet posing with some of the vanquished stumps - I call it 'stump art'.
Here's a stump that was prepared for the vanquishing - the roots were exposed with a garden spade.
And then I went to work with an axe. Here is the foot in the moment of victory - pushing the stump from the ground after the roots had been severed.
