Early June

Tuesday was an afternoon walk up the Y, where I haven't walked since the winter. Sam’s had some breathing issues so we have been up here less than normal this spring. Lovely warm bright breezy afternoon. (2.1 miles walked)

6:00 am run on Wednesday out along the edge of the Heath. The sun was an orange orb up in the sky due to the wildfire smoke. One deer seen. (6.0 miles)

Thursday, I spent the morning before work on the computer catching up on things instead of running, so I didn't head out until 4:30 pm. 82 degrees and very toasty. Took it nice and easy. (6.0 miles)

Tried to cram too much into my morning on Friday so the run ended up getting shortened. Very heavy and soggy out. Love the iris and sheep laurel though. Oh yes, and one big old snapping turtle laying eggs! 🐢 (6.0 miles)

Saturay was yet another rainy day and after whiling away the morning, I finally headed out around 3:00 pm for a run on the cart paths+. (8.0 miles)

 

Then after dinner, Sam and I went down to Dairy Queen for dessert and to see Anne on her first shift! 😍🍦

Sunday morning I headed out around 8:00 for a random, mostly road tour with a small loop on the new trails off the bike path. I didn’t wander too far as things were a bit overgrown but it offered some pretty views. Nice breeze and not quite as stifling as I was afraid it would be. (10.0 miles)

Then after lunch, it was up to the Botanical Gardens to enjoy the nice afternoon and all.the.flowers 💗🌸We definitely got the timing right for the rhododendron, as most of the bushes were in bloom. Lovely! A nice breeze, not too warm and bright sunshine! (2.2 miles walked)

We wrapped up the day with Indian food and crazy cake to celebrate Mom's birthday a few days early! Happy Birthday, Mom, we love you! 💖🎂
