The foot observes the changing of the season



This is the foot's favourite time of year.




I know what you're thinking


And no, I didn't slay the Green giant and chop off his penis as a trophy. It's a zucchini. Friends of the foot made a food offering to its majesty.

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.

Deep sea fishing

The feet went deep sea fishing on Saturday. It was a father's day gift to Leo Sr. Leo Sr did not wish his feet to receive publicity so there are no pictures of Leo's Feet Sr.

Here's the boat that took our feet fishing.



Two generations of Leo's feet pitting their wits against masses of footless creatures. Could there be any doubt as to the outcome? Of course not - the feet caught about 14 pollock between the four of them. The fish gladly gave their lives in the knowledge that they would die in such close proximity to perfection.
