I didn't mention that along the West Road Bypass these past couple of weeks, the hillside was encrusted with yellow sunflowers (quite possibly there was more variety but I'll say "sunflowers" for simplicity's sake!) with a border of purple asters nearer the road edge (that too is simplified - DNA analysis reveals that our "asters" are not related to "true" European asters but who cares!) This weekend, I've noticed that the sunflowers are fading and dying back but the asters seem to have grown more profuse and the purple swath along the road is a delight!
Hiked Escobas Mesa to Witch's Broom tree with Monday hiking friend. Two people from Santa Fe were to have joined us on Burnt Mesa to go to the Indian plaza but they didn't coordinate their meeting times so that fizzled.
Attended sleep-inducing AARP Defensive Driving course with husband this afternoon - all this to save a few dollars off insurance. AARP need to make the course less a dreary reading of the manual. Don't suppose they can afford driving simulators to show us how truly terrible our driving skills are?
Husband is sure he saw a bug walk into the undereave crack above the attic. Next on my list is to caulk the crack and paint over it this weekend. Don't really want to do that but maybe he's right that I should.
