Saturday in the Park

Not even noon...  and already I've had a busy day!  I had to work this morning, for a couple of hours, then hit the gym at 9am.  2 miles under my belt puts my total mileage at 124 miles.   That's pretty close to 1/3 of the way to my goal!

Once home ... I fix a lunch of tuna, tomato, avocado, lettuce and a little egg.  I cover it with lime juice and Tapatio sauce, and nibble it with some tortilla chips.  Ohhh how good those taste :)  I park my butt in the sunshine in my chair, and begin to read a book.  But the sun is warm and the backyard needs a good cleaning after the dust storm we had earlier in the week; a good day to play in the hose, wash off the patio and get things back to rights.  My patio chairs are back in position, and I'm enjoying the shade, the breeze and the sounds of the birds as they cry out to each other.

Bird Watching ... Oh my gosh... my pup, Sadie, is outside with me, she is watching a bird who is sitting on the fence.  Its hard to say, but it appears the bird may be looking to see if there's food in our yard, and just might swoop down to the ground.  Sadie is crouched, holding perfectly still, as she watches this bird... and yes, here he swoops down and Zzzzzoooom off she goes after it.  She'll never catch one, but she sure likes to try!

Stay active! ... says my trainer when it comes to the weekends, so I grabbed Sadie for a Saturday afternoon walk at Red Mountain Park... (and took a pic to show I really did it!)   But it was 95 degrees and pugs don't do well in the heat, so we made it a shorter walk than planned.  Summertime means my walks will be in the evenings now, which cuts into what I call "my time" ... *sigh*

Saturday in the Park ... is a great tune by Chicago, from their 1972 album Chicago V.
