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.
