I start my career up again next Wed, Oct 1st. I feel very fortunate to have such a GREAT opportunity, and am excited for this new chapter. The kids are flourishing at their school, expecially Rylan, who has become quite good at math, and the teacher says he has excellent concentration for his projects/jobs. He reminded me today he is the "special person" and needs to take his baby picture, and gets to share. He was so proud and had his stuff bagged up. He quickly got ready and tied his shoes (started a couple weeks ago, and is pretty quick now).With the new schedule, I still will make time for playing in the dirt but have tried to spend extra time in the dirt, some way or another, for the past few weeks. Here's a picture of Annelise checking out one of my cosmos. Next year, I plan to plant more of these since they are so very hardy and their bloom lasts WEEKS.
I have been out on my newly built singlespeed 2x since my previous post. I went a couple hours Sunday - Foresthill Divide and Connector Trail and cleared everything. Hubby says I should with that EASY gear. It was harder on the hills but it felt light under me and I enjoyed the heck out of it. Then, friend Kim invited me this Wednesday morning - we both had matching Sycip singlespeeds, her's blue, mine orange - and we rode, Upper Stagecoach, Clementine, part of Connector, Confluence, then back up Stagecoach and I still enjoyed the heck out of it. Then, we did a trail run on Manzanita and up Stagecoach. What a treat!
