We are all feeling healthier so we wandered off for a hick around the Dale Ball Sierra Del Norte trails.. Beautiful flowers are out because of all the rain !

The rain has brought other benefits as well. We had a wonderful set of rainbows back at the house right before dinner !

Thanks to the weather for offering us this beauty !

Everyone felt a little better today. We hung low for most of the day.. The high point was learning to make ‘hollyhock dolls’ from Becky’s beautiful Hollyhock flowers. Doreen showed us how to do it..  You find a tight flower bud for the head.. and wider bloom for the skirt. You peel back the greenery from the head bud and it reveals pairs of small holes between the petals. They serve as the the dolls eyes as well as the ‘neck’  where the stem of the skirt but goes..

Kinda Magical !

Everyone is feeling better today… I am still testing negative

We got everyone out to the dog park which was nice.. we could be outside without infecting anyone.. Violet loved being out !

Diane and I needed more exercise.. so late afternoon we want to some of our favorite trails.. The Dale Ball Sierra Del Norte trails (Dale Ball was my good friend David’s Step-father !)

It felt so good to climb !

We’re going to have fun here no matter what covid tries to do !

Everyone was feeling pretty crummy from covid.. so we just lay low either in our airbnb or over at becky and Maxs.. Everyone wore masks because Doreen and I were still negative.

I went to the store and got every kind of throat lozenge  ..and made  a  lozenge  bar  for  everyone  Not all that fun, but Nice being together anyway !
