hikes

Last weekend I did two hikes -- one muddy and short, in Redwood, on Saturday morning, and one in Marin (Tennessee Valley) on Sunday, an absolutely perfect day. I got a haircut on Friday and then crashed MAG's bday dinner at N+T's (with her permission). T had been planning to be in NYC for a furniture fair but the snow cancelled his flight. But he went out on Friday and left us to our own devices. I had a lovely martini and some good red wine (which I had brought), and we three had a lot of fun. At one point I was laughing so hard that I thought I might bust a gut.

I have no plans at all this weekend. I walked to the farmers market this morning and then walked up the hill to buy chicken and eggs and tortillas and other things at Good Life. I ran into neighbor O and her father at the farmers market; we were both buying carrots and cauliflower. The energetic guy who sells bunches of veggies (3 for $7 or 5 for $10) gave me a free bunch of carrots today.

It has cooled off after a few very warm days. I am determined to make pizza dough this afternoon, for the first time since before my kitchen was gutted. It'll be interesting to see how hot the oven can get.
