This morning’s hike. I picked Hogback Ridge. Randy scurried dangerously to the top of the rock and I caught up to him. My husband is such a good man in every way. That’s Pikes Peak off in the distance. We beat sunrise so got to see it from there. Last sunrise of 2019. #loveThisPlanet #husbandUnit #shareNiceStuff #goodGuy https://www.instagram.com/p/B6wV_yCAHeF4UREKSDQ0rEJdC_ETRPHpZyQTPg0/?igshid=md91qmy6bxre

That’s Pikes Peak. My #husbandUnit took me on a trail that got us all the way to the top of a rock structure to see! We are scooting all over Uta Valley every day! This trail is a cross between Rocky Peak hummingbird and Chumash trails in Simi Valley. I knew those trails after running them for 14 years! These new trails zig zag every which way. I’m starting slower like i did in Simi. By summer I’ll be dialed in. #goals #outdoor #pikesPeak #newExperiences https://www.instagram.com/p/B51el_OAg6EtpQq4i8-B1mCiGL6RaOE4MXX8QY0/?igshid=1hedzvjaro0xv

Also my amazing #HusbandUnit accompanied my (at my pace) into uncharted territory off the known trail in Ute. IT. WAS. AWESOME! #saladChallenge #greens #day6 https://www.instagram.com/p/B51T66sALlXQvEmgAYz48BbjErSzIf18pkWgJ80/?igshid=5eq0wzj5shom

Years ago. MAYBE a decade. I bought myself a box of the best pencils in the world. #Ticonderoga. This is because my friend used them and I always noticed how perfect her pencil’ing was: forms to drawings. I hoped I would transform into that level of perfection. . That never happened and I continued using my beloved pencils buying a new sharpener so I could get the most out of them. I hid them from my #HusbandUnit because I knew he wouldn’t cherish their value as much. . Today I am on the last half of my LAST Ticonderoga pencil!! . It fells awful picking up a pencil with another brand name. I picked up 40 pencils at the thrift store so I’ll likely be irritated every time I use a pencil until I use them all up!! HA HA!! . #TillWeMeetAgainTiconderoga #BestPencilOnEarth #PencilChallenge #MyPencilIsANubNow #PencilUser #MyPencilIsShorterThanYourPencil #Pencil2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/B2XHf1aACO5SIn1Dw10b0O50eOS2QgLdEcCWOE0/?igshid=ml053gvdpmlv

My second time on the Barr Trail. This time going up. #husbandUnit went my speed ❤️. I know that has to be tough because I love stopping to look at stuff, listen to birds, examine moss and cactus. #fridayDate #trails #manitouSprings #seeYouSoon. @shoe1214 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv4leEzgb3K/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g75x4g3v26if

Quick visit to one of my favorite places with my handsome #husbandUnit #provoLibrary @provocity #library #nonFiction

Kidney Bean and Red Potato Soup SCOVILLE LEVEL: HIGH! . #HusbandUnit mentioned 41 times that he would love a hearty soup to go with his loaf of #TruckeeSourdoughBread before we even had the bread. Found the bread at Instant Pot Recipe, 20 minutes Setting HIGH . 1 yellow onion, chopped 5 garlic bulbs, chopped EVOO, drizzle 2 C kale, chopped 3 medium size red potatoes, cut dice size 16 jalepeno's from a jar 1 ½ C carrots, cut like quarters 1 C celery, chopped 1 can drained kidney beans . 2c coconut milk 1c water . 1t smoked paprika 1T chives ½t hot chili powder ⅓t cayenne pepper NO SALT Prepare all ingredients in advance. Use "Savory" seal on your IP lid (if you have options, which I highly recommend you have 3 different seals since they seem to retain the smells and tastes of the meal you are cooking). Set InstantPot (IP) on Sauté. Drizzle EVOO and spread over bottom of IP. Add garlic and sauté for about a minute. Add onion and stir it for about 2 minutes. Press CANCEL button on IP. Add all remaining ingredients. Stir well and ensure the spices are mixed throughout. Press MANUAL and set for 25 minutes. Place lid on and close the pressure release valve. . . #InstantPot #HealthyRecipe #superspicysoup #allAboutTheSpices #vegan #vegetarian @shoe1214
