Blogging time has been getting away from me this spring. I don't think I have anything to post about and then look behind me to see things piling up, like the annual women's retreat last weekend.
We couldn't have had nicer weather at the coast. It was windy Friday evening when I headed out for my first beach walk, but I keep a headband in my jacket so was fine. We had the same house that our women's ministries likes to rent every year, and my room, with three roommates, was quiet and comfortable. We had good food and a good speaker. I walked on the beach several times and took as many walks through the neighborhood, where I could wear my sandals and give my infected toe a break. I collected a bag full of 'holey shells' for wire-wrapping, and took lots of pictures. I even played ping pong Saturday night!

At home there have been pretty skies and rainbows, flowers and a feline – and an impressive gopher snake Brian found while strimming (trigger warning for those who need it):

Today's agility trial didn't have a photo booth and it certainly wasn't much to write home about; I think it was our worst ever. Poppy had uncontrollable zoomies in the first two classes; we managed to Q in the last two. And in the first class, while I was trying to get her back on track, I slipped and fell, landing in a vaulter's position with one leg straight out in front of me and the other bent back – more than one of my knees has bent in quite some time. I had to have a lot of help to stand up and hobble out of the ring, but was able to walk it off and run three more courses. I did ice it when I got home, but I think it's fine. I hope things go better in two weeks at our next trial!
That's it for now from . . .
