Lighthouse run!

So Quinn dropped me off at the lighthouse, and I ran home. Went all the way to the end of the cul de sac and then came back. It was 3.75 miles, so not quite as far as my usual 4 mile runs, but with all the elevation change, it was a LOT harder. Saw a dead snapping turtle on the way back, and smelled TONS of honeysuckle - very awesome. I saw Beth and her husband when I got to the end of the cul de sac, so I stopped for ~5 minutes to talk to them.

Now Quinn’s out at the treehouse, working on the roof. It’s a *gorgeous* day out, nice breeze, and not too humid. ☺ Aah!

Male Flicker

Saw a male common flicker today, in the woods beyond the suet feeder! First spotting. ☺

The ornamental dogwood is starting to fade a little, as are the mountain laurel, but both are still very pretty. The air smelled perfumed last week, when the laurel were in full bloom.

Saw 3 deer in brown glossy coats this morning, from the downstairs bathroom window.

Q’s playing in the treehouse, working on the roof, and I will probably do my 4 mile run outside today!
