Pajarito Ski Hill to Pipeline Overlook

Hiked with Tuesday hiking group - all women.  We were 12.  Wildflowers still putting on good display in Cañada Bonita meadow but mariposa lilies, while still plentiful, are going to seed.  I was convinced that a seed head was a butterfly on top of one mariposa bloom.

The group started at 8:30 am and was back to the vehicles by noon.  I drove myself up to the Pajarito Ski Area to meet them.  They get the job done (exercising outdoors) and are a nice bunch of woman.  They all seem able-bodied.  I have their schedule and plan to join them from time to time.

Had to get up at 6:30 am and I'm tired now.  If you hear a loud thud, that's just my (numb)skull hitting the computer keyboard as I nod off.

Last night went to Buffalo Thunder's Painted Parrot buffet.  The occasion was that a work buddy spouse has known for a long time (was his boss once!) is commuting from the west coast every week to work here.  We left at 6 pm and waited an hour in a long line and didn't get home until almost 9 pm.  I'm suggesting next time we just dine locally as that's too long to devote to going out to eat.

I have something planned outdoors for every day this week. Sooner or later, another house crisis will occur and I'll have to stay indoors waiting for a contractor so my philosophy is get outdoors now!

No rain yet today.
