Good Morning!
I will admit to being a tad groggy this morning. Last night was another one of those nights where sleep was a bit elusive. One thing I noticed was that I was hungry! Yes, hungry at 2 a.m. My stomach was actually growling. (No, I did not get up and have a snack. I told my stomach to shut up and I rolled over.) And, now at 7:15 a.m. I do not feel as hungry as I did at 2 a.m. I am sipping coffee and trying to clear the cobwebs from my brain and eyes.
Yesterday wasn't quite as sunny as the day before, but it was a little bit warmer and I did get out for a walk on the trail by the canal. Such a pretty place - water on both sides of the trail. The canal on one side and the Schuylkill River on the other. No sign of a blue heron (much to my disappointment) and only a couple of ducks and maybe 3-4 geese. Usually there are lots of ducks and geese. Not sure where everyone was.
Happily I did see one lone turtle.
I was happy to see him/her as it was unexpected. The air is still pretty chilly and my guess is that all this guy's relatives and friends didn't think it was warm enough to come up and bask for a bit. A little later in the year there will be a lot of turtles to be seen in the canal.
My plan today is to get out and walk in a couple of hours. I have a conference call at 1:30 which would interfere with walking after lunch. Not sure yet where I will walk. Yesterday's trail was wetter than I expected, so I'm guessing the River Trail wold be fairly muddy. I may go back to the paved trail along the Perkiomen Creek in Oaks.
I found something new to try at Trader Joe's!
I love carrot juice. There used to be a health food restaurant near my office (30 years ago or more) and they served the best carrot juice. I've shied away from buying it at the grocery store because it is usually fairly high in sugar. But this one isn't too bad, plus it has turmeric in it which I love. Anyway, highly recommend if you are in to this kind of thing.
The weekend is ahead and I'm looking forward to seeing Dee in the morning and C&M have invited us to dinner tomorrow night. Here's hoping that your weekend is equally enjoyable~!
