When I visit my BIL's cabin I always get a creepy feeling at the back of my neck because there are black bears, grizzly, and mountain lions in the area. We have seen black bears pretty close by. I try to remember to bring a gun and bear spray on walks. it is such a beautiful area. Rattle snakes are the worst kind of snake for where I live. Scary but even garden snakes are scary to me. I was traumatized by a TV show that I saw when I was a kid that showed a snake striking at a person (I think it was an episode of Emergency 51 or similar). Funny how something you didnt actually see in real life can affect a person. Jaws also when I am in the ocean. Such a wimp!

I try stick to the high traffic and open space trails - they are less likely to have unwanted visitors. Hiking with someone is distracting enough that I don't worry and really enjoy the whole experience. Emergency 51, now that's an oldie! Jaws was scary for me too even though I laugh at how cheesy and fake it looks now.

I know it looks pretty fake. Especially after seeing the mechanical shark at Universal Studios. Nonetheless, if something tickles me under the water I am like "what was that?!"

Yikes! I'd rather see a snack that a bear or mountain lion!! Ahaha, isn't autocorrect grand! That was supposed to be "snake", lol.

Good luck on graduations, classes, trips and so on. I couldn't keep track of it all but Spring is such a lovely time for all these celebrations.

I've been getting my vegetable garden planted, helping my newly planted foundation shrubs and perennials through transplantation shock (saved them all so far) and getting the flowers into my hanging planters. A pair of house finches nested in one of them within a couple days but have now abandoned the eggs (too much activity or human smells?). It is so nice to have a yard again, especially since I didn't have to lift a finger. It's coming in nicely after a couple of good rains.

QOTD: The Breakdown by Arianne Richmonde (light detective mystery) and also Mindful Eating: A Guide to Rediscovering a Healthy and Joyful Relationship with Food (Revised Edition) by Jan Chozen Bays. I'm finding that book helpful now being that I am over a year out from my surgery. Cementing things I learned preop and opening up understanding of how my mind works here in the long run.

Meal Plan:

B: I had leftover pizza topping plus 1/4 cp grapefruit

L: I had 3.5 oz mix of left over baked chicken breast and left over baked ham with 1/2 oz cheese,

S: Beef short ribs, small salad.

Sn: 1/2 cp milk, 2 tbl nuts.

E: I'm training now for a 10K (September), though I will do some 5ks when I can. I am partially blind and driving is now an issue so I can only participate if Hub isn't working on the day of. But he will be off for the big one. BTW I walk these, not run. I broke T5 a couple years ago and running is now a no go but I can walk them fine. So Exercise today includes walking for 60 minutes.

Have a great day everyone.

We use to get bird nests in our shrubs every year until we got dogs. I loved seeing the new little birdies. This year we have a bird next in a vent. DH doesn't want to put up a new cover until the babies have hatched and left the nest. They do make a huge poop mess though.

I also walk and dont run when I participate in 5-10K. Running just does not sound enjoyable to me. Good luck on the training.
