Every Monday I usually go out riding by myself, because I like to find new trails. There are a ton of "gulch" trails around here, but this one really caught my eye because of its name. I thought it was appropriate, since I had just dodged a guy walking his dog without a leash (my pet peeve).
Of course, Bruce stayed home having his usual fun working on the house. This time, he was trying to plug up a gap in the stone so the birds would stop trying to make a nest above our porch. There really isn't enough room for a nest, but they keep trying and every time they do they drop poop on the porch. Gross.
But the next day, we all went hiking in Castlewood Canyon State Park. It was supposed to get up in the 90's, so we went really early. I did my usual climb up to the top of the cliffs and then sat down to do a sketch while Bruce and Charlie hiked on to the dam. Turns out there were a ton of ants, so I had to balance myself on the tip of a rock.
The bike club went out on our usual mid-week ride. Nothing fancy, just our loop down to Panera's. I had to cut it short to go to my painting class at the Senior Center, which unfortunately was cancelled, because the teacher had been exposed to COVID.
While I was out riding, Charlie went to Doggie Day Care. He always looks so cute at the end of the day patiently waiting for Bruce.
But then he gets home and turns into a maniac tearing through the house with his toys and turning over all the area rugs. Doggie Day Care used to wear him out, but these days it just seems to rev him up.
Courtney and I have started painting again on Saturdays via GoogleMeet. This was a tutorial on painting landscapes with just a few colors. They always make it look so easy in those videos.
