A Play Day

We’re having the most incredible spell of perfect weather right now! Day after day, we’ve had sunny, cloudless days of no wind and low 80s. This is typical September in Colorado! The best month of the entire year.

Today was another glorious one…actually hot, it got up to 86°! So I felt grateful that I was able to shove everything aside, moneymaking work included, and go have a play day out with my mom! We had such a nice time! I’m finding that I need to make sure I have enough fun right now in my life…fun is the opposite of stress. It’s always important to have fun, but most especially when we’re under stress. Life has been, quite frankly, less than fun lately…so doing stuff like this right now — to keep the joy in life — is more important than any moneymaking work could be!

So we went to an outdoor goods store, then had coffee/tea overlooking a river. I didn’t really take any pictures, but we ended our afternoon with a trip to the health food store. I’ll show you what I got…

Some good stuff: Kalona grassfed unhomogenized milk, buttermilk for hubby, shampoo from the “gradoo pit,” unrefined sea salt, red wine vinegar, organic lettuce, a bottle of Udo’s Choice green blend powder (never tried it, but couldn’t resist) which was marked down to 99 cents from $31 because it expires next month!, arrowroot for these cookies, soba noodles (which I’m actually going to return, because I didn’t notice that they’re made in China…and as a rule, I don’t put anything into or onto my body that was made in China!), 3 organic kiwis, some earl grey & jasmine green tea, scullcap leaves for tea, coconut water, & some organic lemons which are a staple in our house! Fruit has been coming from the farmer’s market, and vegetables have been coming from my garden!
