More Plants

Last half day in Asheville was a good one too. I walked to breakfast and sat outside -- nice walk (about a mile) and al fresco dining. Beautiful weather wasn't wasted. Passed a 1/2 marathon race finishing up. Lots of finishers at the breakfast place.

Waiting for avocado toast, egg
and green salad.

Started the walk back and thought I'd take the neighborhood road instead (it's a little longer walk, but prettier). Had to double back and walk the main road after all.

One baby already crossed.

I set up the plant stand in Asheville. Sadly, it's an artificial plant but it's the best I can do in an area that might get knocked (i.e. no propagated plants). Little fairy houses were my first rock painting project. I have tons of them -- all from a little park here in GA.

Drove to the farmer's market and got a slew of veggies for soup. I also broke down and got a couple of plants. A clearance strawberry plant and this indoor beauty. Squirrel's foot fern -- looks like a little fairy forest (I have fairies on my mind, I guess).

Orchid gift from my cousin about 5 years ago. It's bloom time again.

Got home mid-afternoon. I was tired driving and it felt really long. That's the only downside to a 1/2 day of stuff before I leave. Despite wanting to do nothing, I chopped and chopped and made the veggie soup. Veggies, quinoa and chickpea. I needed something ready to go and I'll have a decent amount to freeze.

I have an early fast, steep hike -- but it's not too long. Same hike a couple of weekend's ago. Building up for a hike in September that's more difficult. Today I'm up with no issue though. I went to bed VERY early -- like 7 o'clock asleep early. Not sure why I was so tired yesterday. 

Oura ring is noting my temperature is up -- wondering if I'm getting ready to get a period or if this is because of the creatine and testosterone. I don't feel unwell. It's a wait-n-see. For once, I want a period because this would be a strong indicator that nothing serious is happening. I'll wait to see what happens when I have the temperature drop.

Feels like a Monday to me, but I'm glad to have an extra day to get myself in order for the week. It's a full one. Later gators.
