Two weeks until Christmas Eve!!
l love Christmas Eve day almost more than Christmas Day … it is the anticipation. And even though I no longer do gifts, it is still a lovely, lovely day of remembering the joys of childhood Christmases.
But today, end of the work week … but probably a working weekend so that I CAN enjoy Christmas time … this Friday, two weeks before Christmas Eve day, started with beautiful sunshine…
Above is a just before sunrise walk on my property … below is the start of a long walk on the state land. We have not walked on the state land since late Spring … first it was high vegetation and spring bears and then hunting season this fall, but now … it is our season to be out there!
Today, Friday, is actually our 2nd walk out there and we added a loop to our first walk. I am the weak link having not done longer walks over hill and dale since late Spring,
Gorgeous!!
Almost home.
A good outing! As recorded, .66 miles, 24.51 minutes of activity, heart rate at the finish = 112 , speed 1.9 … hope to improve THAT!
A stick … always bring home a stick.
It is a good thing that we made the most of the morning sunshine. By afternoon, when Emmett and I walked down the driveway to collect the mail … back to gray skies.
Time for a fire …
And naps all around!
The herbs … the herb grow lights are working well … hard to see, but all of the herbs are currently thriving – YEA!
Happy, Happy Friday this two weeks before Christmas Eve.

Still raining here…but there is snow on the mountains down to about the halfway point. Love the photos as usual. And your watch – I’d like one of those. For running/walking I use my phone with the Strava app but it means I have to carry it all the time. Have a good weekend!
The watch … I do love it! I still carry my phone, though as this watch (as opposed to my previous Apple watch) does not have its own cell connection. It can make a call, but only via my phone if the phone is near enough for the Bluetooth to connect. It has fall detection and has activated twice … I didn’t fall, but I did trip and stop abruptly which caused it to ask me to confirm that I was ok. If I don’t, it goes into emergency mode and calls the contacts I have in place. That is a big deal for me as there is no human at home that would wonder where I was if I didn’t return timely :) .
Anyway, it is a Garmin. They make a number of activity smart watches and you can add maps. I have a TOPO set which has a “hunting” overlay to show public land vs private land. And when connected to my phone all activity is saved to a cloud server and I can look at things via the phone app or from my laptop.
The really amazing feature – to me – is the sleep monitoring. It records deep/light/REM/awake time as well as pulse/oxygen and movement. It was interesting to see sleep improvement with the new mattress and then new pillows, also!
