Small Roof Leak

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.
