Today, I am thankful for a busy and satisfying Sunday.
After a two-week hiatus (last, last week because of inclement weather; last week because of S's trip to San Jose), we spend the late morning and early afternoon climbing in Red Rock Canyon (was very hot - temps in the 90s). Then, all climbed out (i.e., hot and tired), we rush home to get ready to visit our friend, Tom, in Denver.
After a long but good visit with Tom, we begin the long drive home. It's just after sunset. Traffic is heavy leaving Denver but thins out considerably after Castle Rock. I'm relieved to see the Colorado Springs city limits sign on the west side of I25.
S pulls into the driveway at 8:30 PM. Home at last. I finish a few chores like watering the tomato and watermelon plants while S takes T for a quick spin around the park.
Just before 9 PM, S pops a large bowl of popcorn, I pour another glass of Kombucha tea (my own brew) and T settles down on his bed that lies in front of the sofa. All in preparation to watch one of our all-time favorite shows, Mystery! on PBS. An entertaining way to end a very busy, a very satisfying Sunday.
For this blessing, I am grateful.
Amen.

A beautiful summer day greets climbers,mountain bikers and hikers
T, wearing his favorite Tour de France/maillot jaune-inspired yellow kerchief, relishes the shade. During the summer, we pick climbs that have some shade in the belayer's area so T has a cool resting place.
One of today's climb: a route on the Solar Slabalong the east-facing canyon wall.
The rock was very hot to the touch -
great for our feet (our shoes stuck beautifully to the rock)
but almost too hot for our unprotected hands.
An abundance of apples
A bounty of crabapples -ready-to-eat snacks for the deer and squirrels
