I can’t complain as I’ve had a lovely time off, but unfortunately I know it’s coming to an end:(
Exercise:
Normally I run Bert Flynn Park with Sarah and Kula on Saturday mornings, but earlier this week Sarah had suggested a local hike instead. Sounded good to me:). To Kula too!
We headed out and I had forgotten how hilly that hike was, or perhaps it was just my super heavy legs! About fifteen minutes in I decided that this would count as my run for the day! With having run 89km this month, I’m okay with that:) It was a gorgeous hike- about 45 minutes each way with a stop at the beach for Kula to go swimming. I love any hike that ends at water or with a water view!
Kula decided he hadn’t had enough exercise doing the trail four times and swimming, so he decided to dig too. I only captured the last few seconds.
We need to put this digger to better use than excavating the beach 😂
Household:
My mom came to give me a hand with a couple of chores such as cleaning my gas fireplace and redoing my filing system. It’s just nice to have company while you tackle these mundane tasks. It has been a great feeling to get so many things done off my list during my holiday, though there are still plenty there. Maybe I’ll get to the sewing tomorrow:)
Shopping:
We hit Lee Valley as the treat for getting the mundane stuff done. I love Lee Valley as they have so many awesome items and some I just can’t imagine needing! I absolutely adore my measuring cups and spoons from there and my compost pail!!!! Last summer I had made a wish list for the store that I carry in my wallet and I’m just slowly picking away at it. I got some new magnetic reflectors to wear while I’m running and some new pastry guides. I should now have perfect thickness on all baked goods🤣. This means I get to bake to try them out, right?!
Knitting:
I got lucky and had a second knit night with Brenda tonight and managed to finish my March sweater with three hours to spare🤣. I know I’ve been asked for a photo, but it will have to wait until tomorrow when someone is around to take it as I’m seriously awful at selfies.
Now I get the fun of deciding what to do next, though I think it’s really been decided for me already! I need to work on my rug regularly so it gets finished- I’m thinking I might use Sundays for that and I need to get my parent’s boat Afghan done before they leave town again, which with them, could be tomorrow🤣
I’m off to bed! I want to be bright eyed and bushy tailed for tomorrow:)
Have fun!

That hike looked beautiful!
It was! But also super hilly!
That view is just stunning, AJ, I want to visit your part of the world someday. I was in Portland once in high school and that’s the closest I’ve ever been. S
We are quite similar to Oregon I’ve been told.
Your dog was so cute!
Happy Easter to you, we all need to be rested and ready to go this morning!
Not my dog, but he is adorable:)
Happy Easter to you as well!
You make me tired just reading your antics! Sounds like a great day.
It was pretty nice:)
What a gorgeous walk!! Looks like a beautiful spot to explore in a kayak too. That dog is having a ball lol!
Yup it’s awesome for kayaking!!!
Reminds me of the Catskills where I grew p.
that view is stunning, I’d be there all the time just to enjoy the views. Don’t you love checking things off your to do list? makes the day feel productive. Hope you have a great Easter
I do love the views I have access to around home. Give me water and I’m happy!!!
I am addicted to accomplishing 🤣
Love that you keep a list in your bag. I keep one as well and it helps with the impulse shopping 😂
Yup I try not to impulse buy!
Oh how I loved your friends dog digging up the limb!
Beautiful photography!
Isn’t he cute?!
Thank you:) it’s the scenery that does it as I’m not a great picture taker😂
That was a hike and a half! P.S. Even Kula is super ambitious!
Lol that dog runs many circles around me!
That made me smile.
I LOVE KULA!!! That face! That snoot!!
I do too!! He’s so cute and a good running buddy!
Ha ha! Kula looked SO THRILLED!! Lmao!!! Sorry for catching up now, been very sick! Good to know you were still enjoying your vacation!
Oh sorry to hear you’ve been sick:(
