Friday was spouse's day off. We hiked with the "Back By 11" hiking group - a big two miles in Rendija Canyon. I showed them the well or sinkhole or whatever it is. Saw a LL hiker go by in her bra - not sports bra but underwear bra! She's trying to make Vitamin D. Only in Los Alamos can a woman hike alone on a trail in her bra and not get accosted!
Spouse and I are on the hook to lead this group on Friday the 13th. I'm planning nearby hikes to do in case I get the old line about "Will we be back by 11?" Come on guys - be more dedicated than that!!
We went to Santa Fe afterward. The Sunflower Market stop included buying lots of melons, on sale for 88 cents a pound. We're having a melon marathon all this weekend!
After last night's big monsoonal rain, I noticed some moisture near the furnace vent pipe. Will have to call the roofer next week to ask him to check it out.
Today I hiked on the Pueblo Canyon Rim Trail, over to the mesa east of the Industrial Park (the one leading to the Hamilton Mesa Trail). It's so neat that I finally have decent trails to hike without driving anywhere! Spouse and I will hike somewhere tomorrow.
Mountain mahogany's twisty, feathery seed heads are resplendent this time of year. Found a huge, dead bug to show grandson. He'll be at camp next week but I'm saving it in a jar of vinegar to show him next week.
After walking, I did time in the kitchen, making a huge eggplant stew and hummous. Spouse even had some and liked it.
