And baked some bread
Sandra's feet ran a 5 k. Just under 29 minutes. Not bad for a pair of hideous feet. They're functional if nothing else.

The beach and other miscellany
Got some wild orchids growing next to the house. And what kind of wild orchid you ask? Well the foot kind naturally. Pink lady slippers. Apparently nature heard of the perfect feet and sent some of their own feet specimen in response. Quite rare around these parts. 
The foot looking over some of the rhubarb that was planted earlier this year. 4 different kinds of rhubard growing. The foot is going to make some tasty pies.
The foot took a day off from its busy schedule of being perfect and went to the beach yesterday. Here's Foot Jr and Cinderella posing in the sand.

Strawberry/raspberry patch
The feet planted some strawberries last week and were working on the raspberries this week. The feet expect big things from these berries. The feet are master jam makers.
It took the feet about 4 hours to dig out the trench for the strawberries. It was all shale. So the feet had to smash it to bits. It was excavated to about a foot down and then filled with garden soil. 2 kinds of strawberries - Cavendish and AC Valley Sunset.
The next trench for the raspberries. Easier to dig. Not as much shale. The raspberries should produce this year but the feet won't be eating the strawberries until 2012.
Foot Jr was also helping out. Quite a helpful little foot.
Resting after a hard morning of digging.

Expanding the garden
The foot overlooking the big pile of soil that the dump truck dropped off the other day. 10 cubic yards. That's a lot of soil. The foot has already made quite the dent in it. Foot Jr has been playing in the dirt - that's quite the little back hoe that he's got.
The garden now has 8 boxes. 4 more than last time. The foot will be adding one or two more off to the side. The foot, while perfect, was not meant for manual labour. Building those boxes almost caused a callous on the big toe. And the shoveling and pushing the wheel barrow is a lot of work for 2 feet. The onions, carrots, beets and turnip have been planted. The rest will be planted in the weeks ahead as it gets warmer.
Before:
After:
Neither the foot nor Sandra's feet are impressed with the squirrels. It's one thing to eat the bird seed. The foot can live with that. The foot understands that's just par for the course when you live in a forest and put out bird seed. The foot, however, is most displeased with the squirrel droppings and squirrel urine on the deck eating through the wood. The foot counted 8 different squirrels coming and going this afternoon. The foot is going to Home Depot this week to inquire about rodent poison.
Sandra's feet on the back deck. It's ok if you throw up in your mouth a little bit. 7 1/2 D. Extra thick.

The Royal Wedding
Did you notice anything suspicious about the royal wedding? The foot did. None of the royalty had their feet exposed. All that inbreeding has probably left them with hooves or cleft feet.

Foot outing
Took Foot Jr down to the museum on the weekend to see the dinosaur display.
We were impressed with the T-Rex feet. Very prehistoric looking.
A salesman at Home Depot made Foot Jr a balloon sword. No the foot doesn't know why salesmen at Home Depot are giving out balloons. Maybe he's just friendly. After the money the foot spent there, it's probably the most expensive balloon sword in history.
The feet relaxing after a long day. What perfection.
Sandra's feet came over to have a look. Kind of like monkey feet. Good for climbing trees and peeling bananas.
Foot foreplay. Sandra's feet begging to be touched. It's like beauty and the beast for feet.
You can imagine the rest.

Nor'easter
Come on, this is April. What's with the snow. The foot is not impressed. The foot wants some warm weather.
A pheasant in the backyard. The foot is going to eat that bird. Just let it fatten up a bit, and then the foot is going to stomp it.
It's a big bird.
Pheasant tracks. Made by pheasant feet.

The dog
Francene, the dog. She convulses as she sleeps. Note the big feet. If you're going to get a dog why would you get one with small feet?
The foot apologizes for the sideways angle. The foot wasn't thinking.

Tomatoes
The feet have started the tomatoes. 4 kinds of have been chosen -Celebrity Hybrid, Scotia (becasue the feet hail from Nova Scotia), Hybrid Early Cascade and Shirley. The first 3 seed packets are from Halifax Seed - we shall see if they are worthy of the foot. The latter is from Suttons Seed - the official seeds of the Queen. We assume that they should be good enough for the foot. Perhaps if they work the foot shall grant them title as official seed supplier of the foot.
Foot Jr helped out with getting the peat pellets ready. We placed 3-4 seeds in each. Foot Jr is still young but his toe dexterity is that of an armless adult.
The seed packages said that it would take 7-14 days for germination to begin. Clearly they did not take into account the power of the foot. 4 days later and germination had begun. The seeds sensed the presence of the foot and could not help but explode from their seeds.
The foot checking on the seedlings 5 days after planting:

Yes, we know that we have been missed. And rightfully so.
The foot has been busy since it last deigned to provide an update. Sandra had no chance against the foot's fertility. Foot Jr now has a sister - Cinderella. We call her Cindy. Her foot is perfect. Even, if I dare so, more perfect than Foot Jr.
The foot is planning on expanding the garden this year. We have been growing some vegetables for the past couple of years. Right next to the septic field. Could there be any better fertilizer? The vegetables can sense that the effluent has come from the foot. Cannot nature sense perfection? The foot's waste products are greedily sucked up, and in return, nature produces sustenance for the foot.
It is a symbosis of perfection. Such a system has produced bumper crops for the past few years, so the foot shares with the less fortunate. Less fortunate in the sense that they have hideously imperfect feet. From the foot's toilet to their table.
The first chikadee of the year.
