Somehow, I’ve ended up with a lovely window of down time for a couple of weeks. I’m in between summer classes, perched on the dash in the middle of the crazy long sentence that is my current editorial project. The timing couldn’t be nicer.
The weather is fabulous, and this past week, I’ve gotten to do all sorts of decadent things including taking my wheel to the creek to spin.
I also went hiking with my friend D. We like to trek out to this little waterfall.
The going is strenuous at times but not overly so, and the reward is this pretty spot at the end. Plus . . . you almost always meet a dog or three. Today, we visited with this sweetie. Her name is Cocoa. She’s eleven years young. She’s apparently been hiking with her dad and her two human sisters since she was a puppy, so she’s kind of a pro.
She approved of my handknit socks.
Other things I’ve gotten to do this week are work in the garden:
And do yoga on the deck:
Snuggle with Augie in the mornings:
And watch the sun set in the evenings:
Isn’t summer wonderful?
On the knitting front, the big blue rectangle is finished. Pictures of that next time. Be well, my friends.
Perfect recharge your batteries summer!
That’s exactly how it feels! Putting fuel in the tank. 🙂
Look at those Augie Toesies! I love watching your knitting, but it makes my heart sing to see you spinning (or talk about spinning). the garden looks great!
Maybe it’s a toe lung like we have a leg lung. Lololol! Can’t wait for Saturday to start Tour spinning! XO 🙂
Ahhhh this makes me long for a nice staycation. I need to take a few days off just to do some things for myself.
Oh, definitely do it! It’s happened for me kind of by accident, and I had no idea how much I needed it. I think my shoulders are at least an inch or two further away from my ears than they were before. 😉
