End of the Week

The end of the week was a little crazy, had to go for coffee on the way to work on Thursday and then again on Friday...Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Finished Em's socks on Thursday night, relaxed on the patio this morning after my walk, getting a little Vitamin D.  Then dinner on the patio with a little knitting of the new socks for Preston, along with a well deserved hard cider.

the view from where we park looking down the canyon

Last Saturday, we once again journeyed up Mill Creek Canyon for a morning walk and to enjoy the colors. It was a little windy at first but it warmed up on our way back down the canyon.  After our walk, we drive up the canyon to where we stopped and turned around for our walk.  There is a great little picnic area up the hill from there so we ate our breakfast and drank our coffee and enjoyed the day. It was so much fun. Mr80grit works Saturday the 23rd so we might not get our walk in that day but we will try.

A walk in the woods

On Thursday night, MR80grit and I ventured up the canyon again for a quick picnic dinner and a walk in the woods. We found ourselves on a path that ran parallel with the river. As you can see all the rain as caused the woods to really grow. Several areas were quite dense and here is a shot MR got of me coming through one spot.

Most of the picture MR took. He really likes my camera!


All the moss reminds us of a trip in Oregon we took about 5 years ago.

As the days are longer we get some awesome light in the woods even though it is about 8 pm in the evening.

Here is a shot of the Burrow socks. This is after MR successfully rescued the ball of yarn after it rolled down the hill a bit. After that the yarn stayed in my hoodie pocket.
