We seem to be on the mend from Covid. W had a rebound from the Paxlovid, but is coming out of that. Whew!

I finally made it out.

It’s the first day of school in my old district, so I’ve been seeing all the pictures of the kids who were in elementary school when I retired. I enjoy the pictures, but am glad I’m not there! I’ll stick to my virtual instruction in the library media endorsement program. Even the adults can produce some drama, though...

Covid has finally arrived at our home. W has it, and I’m waiting to see if I get it. It’s weird to wear a mask in the house. 😷😷

Today is my son’s birthday - how can he be 40?! He and S will be heading this way tomorrow. His crew is planning a party for him after they come out of the backcountry today.

I’m trying to get out of my slump. Pulled a few gel prints today, and got out for a walk before it got dark.

It was a quiet weekend. W has surgery on both hands to release a ligament causing his trigger finger. We’ll be glad when it’s done.

Trail day. The fireweed was going goofy, and the blowdown hanging over the trail needed to go.

My dahlias are finally getting with it, plus something from a walk along the Elwha.

We did some trail work today. It was warm! We saw 15 or so riders, including a couple on a tandem. Mt. Baker looked spectacular!
