I had a busy work day yesterday and was looking forward to yoga then a walk with Shiloh with Bob in the evening. Well, things sorta worked out that way. Tuesday I missed yoga ’cause I got a frantic call from a friend needing a ride to the hospital. Don’t ask. He’s fine, but the evening was shot. So, anyway, I was really looking forward to Weds night with “the family”.

 I did make it to yoga, which I desperately needed. My hands and arms were in good shape, but they’re definitely still affected by days of using my hand saw and shears. Yes, yesterday was one of those days. But, my hamstrings, upperback, IT-bands, and really the rest of my body (and mind) were much better for yoga class. Tonight I hope/plan to hit a flow class and try to get that back into my routine. It may depend on how strenuous today is — I’m doing big plant buys and have a client session on pruning, weeding and perennial divisions, so we’ll see…

And, the walk…well, when I went into yoga at 5pm the sky was grey but calm and dry. When I walked out at 6pm, it was raining. By the time I made it home and started dinner, it was spitting snowing raining. Then it was dumping hail. Then it was dumping snowing rain. Shiloh begged to go out in the hail. She ran to the bottom of the steps as I laughed, knowing she would immediately turn around to run back in when her tiny dog brain registered that she was being pelted with painful, frozen rain. Sure enough, she did what I predicted. And, poor girl, she didn’t get a walk on Weds. Today, though, she gets to ride with me in the truck all day on plant pick ups — a real treat for both of us. Who doesn’t dream of taking their dog to work?!
