80+F Oct 29th!!

 This is the last 80 degree day this year, October 29th! I'm already planning my afternoon to be outdoors as much as possible to soak up the warmth and sun! Yesterday was 74/75 degrees so I worked in the morning and then when it warmed up around 12:30, I went for an hour ebike ride going 13.6 miles. I'll do that again today along with laying in the back yard hammock one more time before I take it down for the year too. 

When Steve got home we had a few mocktails with pomegranate juice and seltzer. So delicious and not too sweet either. 

I've been trying to keep up on the leaves. Most are down on the trees but the maples hang on to end. I probably could mulch up the front yard again too, but not sure I really want to? It doesn't take long, so maybe I'll save that for around 4:30/5pm? When it starts to cool down at night. 

I'm going to miss going out in the back yard this winter. Too many months of being inside! I do see mid 50 degree temps till mid November and maybe a 60 or almost 60 in there too, which is above normal. So not a bad fall so far! 

It's going to rain tomorrow through the weekend. We do need the rain, but that just means no going outside and enjoying any of the 60 degree days.

I got up early to hopefully, head to the gym today. I've been doing 1 mile of cross ramp most mornings. I did miss a few last week, but I did other exercise instead like mowing both front and back yard or biking at least 9 miles. I'll keep up my cross ramp miles and keep adding more. I'd like to get back to doing any hour and enjoying it! 

I booked Logan's Thanksgiving train ride home. We are all ready for him to be home for the long holiday weekend. We aren't sure what his Christmas plans will be, if he gets an internship over break. I'm of course wanting him to get an internship, but also wanting him home for the month break. Only one more semester left and then he graduates!! I need to book a hotel and the Uhaul asap! 

I've been enjoying watching football, Vikings and Chiefs. I never used to like football, but now want to watch it and understand it more. So we have plans on Sunday night and Monday night to watch both 7pm games at home. No other plans this week. 

We can't hand out candy with Zoey being crazy when the trick or treaters come to our house. So we are just going out to dinner and using a gift card. We will just make Halloween fun for us!
