| no partners | | Needed to go to Trader Joe's so stopped here on the way for a quick hiking loop. Parked at 38th St. Started out but had to go back and get another shirt for the chill in the air.
Encountered about 1/2 dozen hikers and a few dogs as I made my way to the southern part of the loop. As I headed west I was surprised to see Scorpion Weed, and then another, and another. Oh my! They were scattered all along the trail until I hit the north side. Of course, Brittlebush was blooming but I didn't see nearly the baby brittlebush I have seen on other trails this winter. Very clear today.
It wasn't as green as Ireland either but I noticed there is a different type of grass here and not as plentiful... but there was lots of Scorpionweed. I saw lots of evidence of Rock Daisies, one bloomer. The sky was filled with painted windy clouds of grey. I took a little different route as I made my way to the north side. I got a good view of the quartz area above where I normally hike. With these grey skies, I've noticed different things than normal.
Sad to pass by the new house construction that replaced the community garden. I see they have a couple pickleball courts. Never have played.
I remembered to turn on my watch  : 3.01 mi, 3:28-4:33PM, avg 136 bpm - max 164 bpm (52% max, 42% anaerobic). They have a new stat... this should be interesting for me as I sweat a lot (I think becuz of med combo), 228 ml; I know TMI. Temp 66.1, 33% humidity, wind 1.9 mph WNW |

Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled. |
