Sound like you had a good day. I didn't get to any cook outs to enjoy some real food (smile) but the time on the water was comforting.

I have been having such a great time outdoors and been keeping busy. The weather is hot and gorgeous. Love the hot season. I have been fishing mostly and havent really put much time into working out because my husband has me out and about so early I can't seem fit it in so I need to make a new schedule. Hope everyone is enjoying the weather and getting outdoors.

I played outside tonight with the dogs and my 15mo granddaughter. She was mad when it was time to come in and go to bed.

Memorial weekend I went camping again, this time to GWNF Hone Quarry area, went up Friday night and didn't return till Monday night. I wish the weekends were longer.

The boys and I went for a long bike ride down at the river this afternoon (8.5 miles). The flood waters have only just receded from a couple weeks ago so there was all kinds of new stuff to see (unfortunately some of it was dead fish).

I walked for an hour through the powdery snow. I couldn't find anything under tracking fitness for "snow walking", which is way harder than regular walking!

Karen, I am so glad you enjoy the blog!! I have a new one up about the Katy Bike trail.

Today it is cool here in Iowa but the sun is out so I plan to get a jog/walk in midafternoon when it's the warmest! I take the walking jogging inside when the temps get too low and it snows. Yesterday I did not get outside except for work meetings. At least I have a window at work!!

I carved two of my pumpkins today and then spent the rest of the time in the kitchen drying some of the seeds for next spring. I boiled up some of it for pumpkin bread. Now I just need a recipe.

Oh my gosh, Iowa is having the most beautiful fall this season! The last few have not been very good because the leaves all fell in the cold and wet from rain. It is like 80 degrees every day this week and dry. As I drove in to work today, the colors of the leaves as the morning sun hit them took my breath away in spots!

Oh, thanks! I did not know you could do that. I tried to add two different pictures and it would hesitate and then give me an error message so not sure if they are too big sizewise or what. I did get the link to work though.

I did manage to go out for my jog but hate how it gets dark so fast!! My long jogs will have to be when I can get started early on nonwork days. I sure don't want to go back to the treadmill until I have to!!

Now on the right hand side under "Team Stream", it says 'See All Team Blogs, Links, Photos, Announcements.' When you click on photos it lets you upload the photo. Or even add the link for your blog. It's worth everyone seeing!!!!

I picked tomatoes, egg plant, peppers, and squash. I walked through the trees, along the creek, and enjoyed the flowers, the sunshine, the singing of the birds, and the swaying of the trees.
