March .. here comes the Lion

You know, like March comes in like a lion goes out like a lamb.  Isn't that the proverb/saying/whatever? Anyway, my goals for this first March weekend are as follows:

1 - Watch Doctor Who and drink some wine
2 - Walk
3 - Get nails done
4 - stabilize t-shirt/boxer fabrics
5 - make 4 blocks for the Grinch quilt
6 - do 2 hours of Bible study
7 - make some soup
8 - make some bread

I think that's it.  Probably can't do much more than that, if I can even get to that. 

One of those days?

Today has started out interestingly.  First I forgot to turn my lights on when driving to the gym.  We have day-time running lights so at least there was some light coming from the car.  Then after I got home I realized that I had worn my pants backwards -- you would have thought I would notice that, wouldn't you?  And then as I was doing my hair, I dropped my straightener and grabbed it without thinking about the 440 degrees of the plate so I burned my thumb.  Stuff comes in threes so I should be golden for the rest of the day.

oh, and sometimes the bottom row of keys on my laptop don't work.  Makes it hard to type.

Alum Rock Park

I have fallen behind in my blogging, but that's okay.  I can get back to it, or not.  Last weekend, our walk took us to Alum Rock Park.  It's apparently been around for over 100 years as a park (actually since 1872).

It was/is a nice even trail, very pretty, but not too exciting.  That's okay.  I really enjoyed it.  Here we saw some deer -- I think a total of 12 of them. 

 Mineral springs?

Not sure about this.  Seems to be stairs with nothing at the 

bottom -- maybe used to give access to the spring?

That was last Saturday.  Today it's rainy so we're going to walk around the mall.  Might even do some shopping but the purpose is for the exercise.
