I had so much typed up...but when I went to spell check "repertoire," it all disappeared. So I'll sum up. 1- sat outside in pollen land for 4 hours last night before going to bed, too tired to shower, woke up with my eyes glued shut and throat on fire (after taking the zyrtec) 2-woke up feeling like an ornery pirate. For my "day of service" contribution, I did everyone a service by staying home and resting & reading. 3- drug myself out around 2pm. Went north-east (into the city instead of away from it like I always do) and got to do some hills. Good run. 4-the "tobacco and groceries" store I stopped at for water (got it out of the sink in the bathroom) smelled like they'd had a hookah party back there recently. 5- saw a car get pulled over on the by-pass road. There's a photo of it I'll put on here... it's the only place I ran that didn't have businesses or homes, but did have a sidewalk. Why? 6-local fauna for the day- super dead & flat snake, flying grasshoppers, black butterflies, gnats, and huge dogs that didn't understand they were taller than the 3 foot fence keeping them in the yard. Dogs can jump, can't they? No one told these dogs. I wasn't going to be the one to do it either. 7- **bonus** Sonic has brought back it's coconut cream pie shake for the summer. Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Clause. He came in April this year. Photos: The bypass road with a sidewalk, but no houses for 3 miles.....

Wisteria. It's a weed out here. People from this area don't understand why anyone would want to plant it in their yard. But this time of year, it's beautiful!  And here's my attempt at capturing the cute little caboose from my Wednesday run: 
and last but not least, there's also this cute "little caboose" 
Love you, RAD. She'd kill me if she saw this, but she's too busy to read blogs anymore so I'm going with it.
