Sep. 7th, 2003 10:08 amOutside my window the cedar branches are dancing in the wind. It's overcast, and the rhododendron leaves are wet from rain. Yes!
Yesterday started with a quick trip to the farmer's market (okay, as have most Saturdays recently, some just less quick). The fall raspberries are in. I love the raspberry double season -- you eat them and love them in summer, loose them and mourn, and then they're back for another round. So I bought a half flat, since we'd invited folks over after the hike.
The hike went well. Not much of a hike, really, a "long mile" by the book each way, and I'm not even really sure how "long" it was. But the bathing rocks weren't too overrun, and there was water to splash in and rocks to climb and more waterfalls and pools and more rocks to climb... I have a bunch of Kevin's pictures on my PDA, and maybe he'll let me post them publicly.
Of course, I wore sandals because the little toe of my right foot is sore and hiking sandals for well for the climbing rocks and wading streams part, which might have had something to do with why I turned my ankle on the way back. Feh. I can walk on it, but it'd really prefer to be iced and elevated, so I'm going to skip wushu today and baby it a bit. It's the same ankle I sprained and strained in the car accident, and turned much less seriously a couple of weeks ago, and I've been doing daily strengthening exercises just to avoid this sort of thing. (The problem is that the ligaments are so badly over stretched that all the stability has to be muscular.) I would really like new ankles.
So we went home (with a brief stop by REI, where I was only barely able to restrain myself from buying this really nifty backpacking pan) and finished the minstrone and made salad and sauteed squash and raspberry mousse, which made an altogether satisfactory end to the day. At least I thought so.
