karmicdragonflyThis past weekend was my first trip back to the river since I injured my back, gluteus maximus, and at least 2 thigh muscles. That was about 9 weeks of down time! The walk was slow, and my legs felt like lead afterwards, but I enjoyed it a lot!
Today, I visited a different trail. Also slow walking, and now I'm waiting to see if my legs will tighten to lead or not. But I found some pawpaws -- I always try to bring a few home once a year!
On a different note, the weather has been unpredictable this last 12 months -- very rainy winter...early warmth in February....then cold...then rainy...then severe drought. I am about to get my very 1st Zinnia bloom for the year! And no Asters yet. The basil is turning yellow from the Fall-like temperatures that have surprisingly arrived in August! I guess I'll take the win that I don't have to run the AC nor heat in these temperatures!
