They will remain relatively cool and dry even during the summer.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had a time consuming blog related project that has eaten up days of time and is not done yet. It has given me an opportunity to go back over all the wordpress entries: 2016-2007, which has been fascinating. Some 8,000+ now.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39357\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39357\" style=\"width: 169px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ancientrails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/back-yard-may-9.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-39357\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39357\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ancientrails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/back-yard-may-9.jpg\" alt=\"Back, May 9 \" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39357\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Back, May 9<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Kate has Bailey Patchworkers, a sewing\/quilting group, today and will make a run to the Happy Camper for cbds.

The treadmill will stay for walking at a moderate pace.<\/p>\n<p>Once this blog project is over I plan to start regular hikes in the woods and a return to the fire mitigation work I began last fall.

The baby blanket comes, naturally, after the wedding quilt.<\/p>\n<p>Much to my chagrin, since I stopped adding salt to my meals, my weight has dropped, my blood pressure has dropped and I&#8217;m sleeping much better.
