Well, my indecision about what to do this weekend was pretty clarified when one of the friends I hung out with briefly last night tested positive for Covid this morning. I'm not terribly concerned - I have my booster and we were sitting pretty far apart from each other - but it does resolve my plans. Instead of Hilltop, downtown reading, and any more populated hike, it was out to Falls Hollow on the graveyard loop. I gathered beautiful pieces of hemlock, pine, and fern to make a wreath for the front door. 

Happily (or unhappily, for them) the friends I wanted to hang out with this weekend were also equally exposed, so I can take dinner over tonight and get the dogs together, maybe play in the hot tub. I have several nice lamb chops and I thought about cooking up a Moroccan thing - maybe some cous cous with olives, dates, and carrots. 

But for now, I might relax and read on the porch or work on my wreath.
