May 10

I decided to go to the park while the girls were at cheer practice, thinking I’d read under a tree, but then I thought why not a short hike? I figured I’d be done in 45 minutes, well before sunset and when I’d have to leave to get the kids. Except I miscalculated the distance. I did two trails which I thought were a mile and a half combined. Actually it was a mile and a half for one trail and three quarters of a mile for the other. I had dawdled at the beginning thinking I had tons of time, but the last 20 minutes were rather speedy. I’m glad Christina wasn’t with me, because she would have freaked about hiking in the dark. Who knows what lurks in the shadows?
