Busy!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile.  I have all sorts of stuff I want to share but October turned out to be a lot busier than I expected.  Here's a little of what I've been up to (in photos):

For a couple days I admired the big dreamy clouds that were out

And I continued to find fall where I could . . .

I carved a pumpkin shaped by visions from old photographs of my father's Halloween creations

On one sunny Saturday I toke a solo seven mile run along West Cliff Drive and stopped (several times) to really admire the views ...

We wished several friends "Happy Birthday!"

For a few days it was cool out and we ended our evenings with hot chocolates (topped with sprinkles!)

And I felt the days getting shorter . . .

Over the course of a weekend I spent several hours "bejeweling" a pair of leggings and a hooded sweatshirt with a hot rhinestone setter so I could go as Outer Space for Halloween

This last Saturday I went on a run with C up to UCSC determined to work more hills into my routine (and it was my fastest run on this route to date--yay!)

I took Buckwheat for walks along the levee to Ocean View Park so he could get in some good old fashion playtime (I did this two weekends in a row)

And then walked home past one of my favorite houses in Santa Cruz--isn't it just perfect? (sigh!)

More updates to come soon, but not until Wednesday or Thursday because I have another birthday to celebrate tomorrow!
