Pumpkins in the Park

Sorry No Words...

 

Thursday Thoughts

Thought how Glad I was to be able to connect with my Gal Pal for a walk this morning,

Thought with the lower temps Veggie Soup would be awesome for dinner...ANND, planned ahead so it came from the freezer for easy-peasy meal.

Though we weren't able to  bring the Female home yet, I'm happy for the Mr to have 2 of the 3 back home..They've been at the Vet's getting checked out and spay/neuter done. 

Thought this heater in the greenhouse would do them for the lower temps, so far so good! Sometimes we find the DadCat [Big Guy] in it.

 I Thought

we were about done with tomatoes...Thought wrong! 

Soooo... Igloo it is! 

And Clematis had nerve enough to try and Bloom Again! I don't have time for all that...so protection from frost is in place, We'll see how there are in a day or so.

Why Wednesday..???

Why are we up yet again so early!!

Off to the Big City of Louisville for Mr' leg scans...

Ever since all the femoral arteries in both legs have had surgeries &/or reconstruction we go for Ultrasounds to test for BP & Blood flow

On-The-Go Egg sandwich for the drive...sorry so short gonna Go!

Tuesday Tidbits

Bed Made Always,

 Swept floors, Yes always. I swear the PurrKids

are molting again !

It's that time of year again... Thank Goodness we have a Pro Agent! 

 Discovered on today's walk!

 IYKYK...🤣

 Then a quick shower, quick Lunch, and headed to volunteer 'job'.

[sigh] the job I absolutely despise the most!

Linking up with Sandra

Saturday's are for Running and Runners!

4am wake-up...5am as passenger princess with the Kid & her running buddy.

We were fortunate find a reasonable priced parking garage and the Bonus it was 1 block from Start line for this morning's race adventures!  

It was a cool morning and as always, I came prepared with warm blanket from my Queen Bee race.

 

Downtown Louisville is filled with all kinds of ''sites'' to view.

Finally daylight enough for a Start Line photo...

Streets blocked off, Security & Volunteers everywhere, an announcement about the course final checked and the runners started lining up. Hugs, Kisses, Run Safe Wishes to mine then I went up a block to get a spot. And Again, [sigh] I should have taken a photo of the runners making their way up - 2 1/2 blocks of runners headed to the Start! It Was Amazing to see.

My Girl with running buddy Sarah...they're doing the Half.

The 5K was supposed to take off at 8:15...ended up with 8:35 start due to the city doing a secondary security sweep along the course ?!? Of all things they wanted to ensure there wasn't ANY problems with ''No Kings'' protestors, WTH [sigh] I do appreciate them going above & beyond.

I need to start remembering to do pre-race selfie's...

As I made my final turn towards the finish line 'ol Abe Lincoln greeted the runners...

Finished with a decent time = pleased with my self!

I decided to give myself 10-12 years to do as many adventures as possible I can do. 

 

These photos were from the little park at the finish line..

There were 4 of these fountains but people were sitting at 3 of them...

Found a great spot to watch for my Girl ...

She has her Momma's muscular legs...don't ya think??

Out of curiosity I checked my results only to discover I was 2nd in my age group!

Surprised and pleased with myself [but still need to work more with training].

How cute is the shot glass !! 

*****

I wasn't sure I would make it to my new friends

Soft Opening for Mystical Bluegrass shop

So glad I did! She said it was a busy morning sold a lot of stuff.

She also does jewelry for the Mr's Constitution Square gift shop, specific for them.

*****

Home in time to put a couple of Pot Pies in the oven, changed out the blanket on the bed, charge up camera batteries, and shower. I'm working a new race Midway Thriller tonight and thankfully Mr is chauffeuring me. 

And Yes, that's my girl running again tonight another 3.1 miles after running 13.1 

decorations everywhere

A great turn out for a 1st time race event...home to a cold brew, the Mr turn on the UK ballgame, and I relaxed in bed. I know I'll sleep well tonight!
