- Brekky: 3/4 sesame bagel (UG) + last bit (end) of homemade honey-bran bread I had left in the freezer, w/whipped butter and homemade lemon marmalade (not as bad as I first judged it) and, of course, grapefruit marmalade. Coffee w/soymilk; a few slices of strawberry (from the garden) and banana. Need to bake another loaf of bread!!!
- Lunch: Hash brown potatoes, 3 eggs (only 1 yolk) w/a little onion, broiled 1/3 tomato (all that was in the house), juice of 1 orange (from our garden), baked sesame bagel w/butter and marmalade, decaf coffee w/soymilk. (Running low on that , too.)
- Dinner: Angel hair pasta prepared by hubby (way too much pasta w/too little sauce, as a result, I don’t know why he does that…); greens=chard, prepared by yours truly–last chard from our garden, white wine.
- Snack: Pepper jack cheese, tamari almonds, white wine, chocolate.

Took a very nice hike in Annadel State Park, a ~5.5 mile loop, with about a 600 ft. elevation gain, to Lake Ilsanjo and back. The prettiest part was probably the dale with the wild lupine in bloom, with a view to the distant (and not-so-distant) verdant hills.
