My parents came down this morning and we all went on a walk at the new park. It was overcast and relatively cool which made things enjoyable. Next we went to the farmer’s market, where Luke walked/ran around and we bought a watermelon. We spent the rest of the day doing stuff around the house. Luke was in a great mood and very energetic.
Liz’s leg still hurt this morning, so we didn’t all go on a walk, however I went alone after breakfast on my way to Kroger. It was already pretty warm and there were a few other cars in the parking lot. I tried to keep a pretty good pace and wanted to go as far as possible. That entailed making a figure eight around the trails. It ended up being over two miles. Not as far as ideal, but still a nice little hike.
After the grocery store I focused on weeding the upper pumpkin patch. It was more out of hand than I realized. Instead of using my new blow torch, which I tested and couldn’t control too well, I used a swing blade. It was hot and miserable work, but I am fairly satisfied with the results.
We got a little bit of a late start, so it was warmer and sunnier than ideal, but still nice. I was also hoping that the big loop would be longer; it ended up being nearly half a mile shorter than the map said.
