and three weeks later, it's Friday again!

Yes, I have been long absent. But, I was on a road trip. To Canada. And had no access to internet for many days. So, I'm now back to the world of the connected, and am wondering what you have been up to while I was away. I did a lot of hiking, a lot of difficult work before dawn, many, many steep hills just walking where I needed to go, and a little kayaking. And dozens of hours of driving. I haven't weighed myself, but I'm pretty sure all those hills had at least a little impact. At least, I really hope they did. Now, report!

Friday again! (And to think I almost missed it!)

So, it's Friday, and I have 30 minutes to get this posted before it's not Friday anymore. First, let me say thank you to Jessica for reminding us (oh, so gently) to get back on the horse and help each other more. This week, I planted a garden. That should be enough, right there. The "grass" that they have here in sunny California is not actually grass. It is some kind of monster-plant that imitates grass on the surface, but has NASTY roots that are all interconnected and a giant mess. There is a reason our garden is only 4x6 feet. We had to use an axe. On the grass. Chopped it into squares, and then I lifted while Aaron hacked at the roots. Oh. My. Goodness. It was not supposed to be that hard. But, we did it! And now I'll have tomatoes and zucchini in the fall. The rest of my workouts this week also centered around the garden. Weeding, watering, picking out rocks, etc. And Levi and I took a walk. Not fast, but I got a little sweaty going uphill, so I'll count it. Whew. What did you ladies do this week?
