Weekend Sunflower

 πŸŒ» 🌻 🌻 🌻 🌻 🌻


Kim and I get looking over our picking of sunflowers this morning. In the weekend we went out to the trailer, cut some sunflowers down.  

Dixie ran about all leash free for most the day.  She ran into a dugout and back in and out and ran all over the park.

Once she dried off which wasn't that long cause it was windy Sunday.  We went in the trailer. Kim and I played cards with her parents.  Crib, until the niece and nephew came.

We then watch those to kids hype up Dixie for a bit.  Dixie had a full drool of all the food dropped.  

At the trailer made crisp berry pie.  Kim had peach's.  Cause the desert wasn't gluten free.

After ward on our way back we picked up a whole chicken roasted some devil's egg potatoe salad and a sandwich with ice cream.  I got Kim a gluten free cheese cake for Kim at home, so she never felt out. I also was craving cake πŸŽ‚πŸ° after our desert and it was right beside bread when I picking it up in the frozen section. 

We got hungry when we got home 🏘️.  We got back at a good time.  I was fading quick.  I got telling Kim I was getting angry at every one.  Well on the road that is.  

Started cursing every driver.  Which some ones commute is the worst of there day.  

I did a doodle the other day, saying


So I figured I had to eat soon.  Well on the way back.

Dixie got about an hour run, we were out there for about 4-5 hours with a drive.


We are going to make sunflower seeds right away once they dry out.  And that'll be a treat later in fall.  We were watching YouTube on ways of making them.  So we're excited about the treat.

Out at the trailer spot there was a long row along the road ☺️.

So we only took a dozen for the family to cook up.  There was many more left.  The farmer already harvest a long row of it leading up the park.

The day was a success, we enjoyed our time.

And now it's dark in the mornings so waking up early πŸ™‚ we had to turn on the lights in the sun room for our picture.  We missed out taking them out there. So these were are only photos.  This morning I got writing up in a blog. I haven't thought about it. I sort of been think of deleting my blog. But Kim said I like going over it and told me to make another post about this trip.


Enjoy your week. It's Thanksgiving week end this week.

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

  πŸŽ‰ Celebrating 10 Years Together Last night was a beautiful celebration of a decade spent with Kim. We marked our 10-year anniversary with a cozy dinner at The Keg, where I indulged in a hearty 20 oz steak and Kim opted for a more modest 8 oz cut. It felt so good to get out together and enjoy a special evening. We kept things simple—just water to drink, with fresh bread and salad to start. The atmosphere was perfect, and I soaked in every moment of our time together. We’re incredibly grateful for our families, who made the night even more special. My parents generously gave us cash to enjoy our dinner, and Kim’s parents gifted us movie money so we could extend the celebration. Their thoughtfulness reminded us how lucky we are to be surrounded by love and support. Family and friends made it sweeter We were so blessed by our families: my parents gave us cash to enjoy the night and Kim’s parents sent money for a movie treat. Our friends even gifted us a 20% tip card for the meal...

Gratitude, Good Food, and Good Books

 A Thanksgiving weekend of family meals, long walks, and reaching 86 books this year Bryan and I headed out for a walk after he returned from his sister’s Thanksgiving gathering, settling into a steady 30‑minute pace that carried us just under 2 km. The air was crisp with a light breeze, the kind of weather that makes movement feel effortless. I’ve always loved these cooler temperatures—my body doesn’t have to work as hard, and the transition from “easy mode” into a gentle warm‑up felt natural. Carrying 30 pounds with me added that extra layer of challenge, but it blended seamlessly into the rhythm of the walk. We paused at a park bench along the way, taking a moment to sit together before snapping a photo. That small break reminded me how these walks are as much about connection as they are about distance or weight carried. The combination of fresh air, conversation, and the grounding presence of the season made the outing feel restorative. It wasn’t just a walk—it was a reminder...

Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run πŸƒ‍♂️

  The dog and I decided to do either a 3 km run or a 6 km run or 9 km run hoping for 10 km but I couldn’t find the energy to push further. It is smoky out there you could smell it and breath it in. Made me in my threshold if I keep a higher pace than 9 minutes km Cooler morning,  I went and got a sausage homestyle biscuit from Tim’s and an ice coffee ☕️  Just getting my day started. I got a doctors appointment later today over the phone πŸ“ž also. Hoping to take the dog πŸ• for a run πŸƒ‍♂️ this morning but I’m stiff. So hopefully my coffee stop warms me up to get moving this morning. Or just caffeinates me. We managed to do 6.05 km in about 59 minutes. A high heart rate of 172 bpm and an average of 144 bpm. Plus 12 Celsius while I ran but I was in full sweating πŸ˜… by the time I got home 🏑. The last couple weeks I’ve had a low relative effort due to some family losses. But I manage to get out on a smoky day like today for a run. πŸƒ‍♂️  It’s been raining heavily the last...
