So here we are. Strange bird noises in all the trees, but as usual, the little varmints won't come out to be identified. We should have been here a month ago for the arrival of the golden-cheeked warblers. Coots in the lake and a surprising amount of gulls. In the evenings they fly over the water and hunt schools of fish in big, noisy flocks.
With Ed still sick and me having a meeting at 2:00, I decided not to try to go anywhere. Molly and I took a long jog in the morning; then I worked; then lunch and meeting; then another long walk.
We went up "the hiking trail" which had a remarkable number of people on it. All young-ish, college age sort of people. There was a confusion in the trail, after crossing a low, rocky spot, the trail climbed up the slope and seemed to end in trails going both left and right. A Tee, in other words. I marked the crossing with a couple of rocks and went to the left, which was a good choice because in a few steps we came to a bench marking the correct way.
So on we went for quite a little ways to another bench and a big man-made stone thingy. Just a big rock, unmarked as far as I could tell. The whole trail was unmarked. But that made a convenient turn-around spot, and we were about halfway back when Edward called.
He was a half-hour away, so I waited until he arrived and ordered supper. It was less expensive than I feared, but I put a tip on it and it ended up being pretty bad. And more than we could eat. How could I have guessed that?
Sorry not to have a picture of the food. Carryout sushi from (I think) Miso or Misu Sushi or something like. Expensive and excellent.
