My Actifit Report Card: October 14 2019

Hi guys! The morning started out with me getting to sleep in a little. The night before I had only gotten four and a half hours of sleep with 53 minutes of that time awake! NOT enough!! I made my sleep goal of 7 hours last night.

They day dawned sunny and cool. We had a 1PM appointment with our neighbors Jim and Jan for the hike. The colors are really starting to pop, but our main color here is yellow this year. In the forests, the main deciduous trees are Big Leaf Maple, Vine Maple, Elm, Elder, Cotton Wood, and even some stands of Aspen. In the more populated areas, you’ll find special varieties that offer more variance of colors.

I don’t remember if I mentioned previously that ‘Spidey’ the trail blazer, broke and I had to retire him. I replaced him with ‘Spidey 2’, but he was soon broken accidentally by a member of our hiking party. Hence, ‘Spidey 3’. I have noticed the reduction in man eating spiders on the trails, so I hiked today without Spidey. We only ran into 2 of the spiders, so I removed them by other means.

Towhee Ridge was sunny and beautiful. We stopped to rest a bit and then headed back down. We were three quarters way back home when Lily and Max, the dogs from the day before, came running after us. Their master had left about 15 minutes earlier, and as their usual pattern, ‘when the cat’s away, the mice will play’, and they go on an adventure. I have to say it does worry me a bit knowing there are cougars in the area. If they were my dogs, I would make sure they couldn’t get out to get into some potential trouble.

We came home to have some coffee, and then began the task to select music for next Sunday’s worship service. I pulled about 6 different songs, but we’ve settled on the needed three, and will run through them again tomorrow to see if these are the ones.

After dinner, a program comes on one of our channels here called Venetia in Kyoto. She’s English born, but married a Japanese man and lives in Kyoto. She likes to do things in a ‘handmade lifestyle’ so I always enjoy the program and any new recipes she has for herbal remedies. I once saw one of her shows where she shared a bug repellant. I made it and it really works, which is a true benefit here in the Northwest in the spring!

Soon it will be off to see the ‘sandman’.
