Here are the pics I promised of our night hike. The top is the entrance where we park our car–beyond the gates–pure wilderness. I loved it and could have explored far and wide. I am not fearful of wilderness, probably because I was raised on acreages across western Canada (and it is too cold for the rattlesnakes to be out of their winter den). Peter, he’s not so into night hiking. He’s a city boy–born and raised.
The last pics are of Earth Hour. Peter and I went to a dimmed Cafe after our
wilderness jaunt.
The girls are back at school after a two week holiday. Tabs is still covered in hives.

I have decided to change the way I cook. I only make things I love. I am hopeful this will inspire me to keep cooking. Tonight it is homemade cheese pizza with raw veggies on the side.
I tried to dismantle the bunk beds and move them into Pip’s room on my own. As it stands now, they are precariously and dangerously hanging in mid air– the room is shut off until Peter arrives home and can help me finish the job.
This morning, since I am finished my class assignments early, I worked on my art/book web site. I am photoshopping another book cover for the site. I hope to have it up by the time I return from San Francisco.
Pippi and Fernando are playing rather noisily behind me. Pip is turning into another horribly picky eater like her sister Tabitha. It is very stressful to prepare meals for children who refuse to eat. All she wants to eat is peanut butter, And
then all she does is say, “My tummy hurts!”
then all she does is say, “My tummy hurts!” She even wakes in the night to say it. She seems healthy though. And I took her big sister to the doctor many times for the very same complaint and to no avail.
I am off to a new yoga class tomorrow. I need to stretch even though I find yoga boring. I’ve tried many kinds, many times. But as I feel I am not as flexible as I have been…so, it’s back to yoga once a week to supplement my cardio/weight workouts.
