Another wonderful hike today. This time without all of the drama and obstacles. I did, apparently, select a trail I’ve traversed previously. However, this time I traveled the route in the opposite direction and found it to be very refreshing and not nearly as brutal to my lungs and/or knees.

It was followed by a trip to Local31 – which seems to be a hidden pub down by the creek, of which I was not previously aware. 2 (very weak) hot toddies to revive me. Way too much deep-fried buffalo cauliflower to lull me back to sleep. Naps were required upon return to the house.

In other news, I have a total of 17 “in process” sewing projects. These include two blouses, a gaggle of cosmetic bags, some kitchen schtuff, and an outdoor-friendly pouf. How many will I have completed before I return to Seattle next Friday??? Taking all bets.
