Been a long time since the cone came out. But the cone is out because someone can’t leave her sore spot alone.

I got out yesterday morning with my dad for the first paddleboard session of the year. There’s lots of water in the reservoir, at least for right now. It felt good to be out on the water, in the sun with him again.

It’s Friday, my friends! I have had a great big workout (incl leg burners snuck in at the end by my trainer), procured a breakfast burrito, and have the day off to start a long weekend. Let’s go!

Having placed every puzzle piece with the slightest identifiable feature, we are left with a sea of blue, and we are positively laying siege to the remainder.

Pretty good coffee this morning.

Up at sunrise yesterday to get in a great workout before my Friday work day. Pretty good way to start.

Some rainy springtime afternoons you just want to listen to The Animal Years on vinyl.

I caught this sliver of moon and – I think – Saturn one early morning recently. Today we’re dusted in an inch of springtime snow.

I felt pretty good about this weekend’s pizza dough. GF crust is a little finicky, but I’m getting pretty okay at it.

This was a lovely, cold and quiet wintertime sunrise.
