The arrow, that is. I found an arrow on the ground right along where I walk. Camp May Road is on one side and a steep canyon on the other. Maybe it was shot from the other side of the canyon or the other side of the road. Glad it wasn't shot at me! I stuck it in a cairn but forgot to look for it on the way back down.
I'm thinking maybe next year I can use my manual weed whacker to murder the NM locusts! At least it would get some use since neither spouse nor I care to tackle the weeds in our gopher-haven backyard! I could pretend I'm golfing (never, ever have or will), whack the NM locusts and yell "Fore!"
Weather was invigorating during my walk. It spit some but not much. The wind was moving a front through but a pleasant wind - not too cold. Clouds were awesomely breathtaking - what an assortment, all layered in crisscrosses across the sky. Patches of blue were framed like windows. Sun came and went but mostly came and when it did, the yellow aspens lit up. Still waiting for some special aspens to turn yellow along the Route.
Someone hung a grocery bag of trash on a tree. I should have carried it down but didn't feel like it today. I will one day.
Yesterday was Oktoberfest at the home of a White Rock hiker. Fun get-together! I made dessert from a recipe I found on the Internet - Easy Apple Kuchen - but ruined it with too much brown sugar which the recipe didn't even call for! Today, we saw 5 of the hikers enjoying the Health Fair/Arts and Crafts Fair so I know that at least 5 survived eating my sickeningly sweet dessert!!
At the Health Fair, I took a spirometry test. The nurse practitioner who gave me my (normal) results said we need to train for old age. I agree. The trend is downward - we can't get around that - but we need to do all we can to assure that our quality of life remains high as we journey through life.
