Twelve

minutes of smooth, feel good running with a distance of a little over 1 1/2 miles. I decreased the pace for every minute I ran. I ran before I did 30 minutes on the elliptical, and then lifted my arms and abs. My knees were a lot less sore by switching up my routine. Feet still going strong.....

Then the girls and I checked bluebird nest boxes out at Standing Rocks. We checked them to get a photos for where the boxes were located so I can bring my class out there in the spring. We walked a little over 3 miles but it was very pleasant and in the end, the girls said they enjoyed it as well.

This morning it was the girl's first day of VBS and tonight Zamboni graduated from his obedience class.

Now I am sitting downstairs while the girls are sleeping because I am waiting for the apricot bread to finish baking. I think in the end we will have about 12 apricot loaves of bread, 4 pints of apricot jam, 1 gallon of apricot wine and about 2 lbs of dehydrated apricots..all made today between all the other business...and then on to the peaches predicted in arrive in about another week.

I also have some cucumbers that need pickling and I plan to do that tomorrow.
