Saturday in the Pecan Groves

I started out Saturday morning in the pecan groves of Green Valley at La Posada. It was the annual walk against hunger in Tucson. I managed to do 2.8 miles in 47 minutes. I am happy to say that the food bank exceeded its goal.

Then it was home for a quick shower and chores. I got most of my paperwork done. The mail and Etsy order were dropped off at the Post Office. Which happened to be on the way to Noah's 1st birthday party on Harrison road just south of Speedway. Yes I did a lot of driving yesterday.

To avoid eating too much at the party, I brought my knitting and made 4 mini washcloths for the older girls at the party. I made them promise to read to their younger siblings or parents in exchange for the washcloths. That added 120 rows to the 1 million row challenge.

I stopped at AJ's to pick up a light dinner. John made a wonderful salad with all the fixings. By 9:30 I was so tired and sore that I could hardly move. Eric had decided that I had too much fun and did too much gallivanting around so I can't do that any more. In his opinion Eric is job number one.

Day or Night You Choose

We are in the is it night or day cycle now. Eric's very bad 3 week long cold that migrated to his lungs. Yes we caught it early and the recovery should be faster. After a very long night we both went back to sleep after everyone left and slept until afternoon. I think it did us both some good.

Not a whole lot of house work got done today. But I did manage to run and empty the dishwasher. Run 3 loads of laundry, whats that you, say is it folded? Of course not, my feelings on the subject is that clean laundry is like fine wine. No laundry shall be folded before its time.  Yes I find it more acceptable to wear clean but wrinkly clothes than dirty and wrinkly clothes. Go figure.

My yikes for the day was that I paid $3.10 a gallon for gas for the car. I can't believe how fast it is going up again. Last time I filled up it was $2.80 per gallon.  My spectacular spotting of the day was a little ring tailed bob cat that I spotted on the way home from the grocery store. No I did not have the camera handy. I know it would have been a great photograph.

No spinning got done today, but there was some knitting. Just maybe I will get some spinning done tonight. I also wish to thank the crew of AJ's for cooking dinner. Well it is time to wrap up this blog. So have a great evening and enjoy your families.
