Bleary

It’s a terrible title for a post and yet descriptive of the current state of my eyes!  Have I ever mentioned how much I HATE trying to adjust back to eastern time?  Last night was my second one home and although I didn’t have any trouble getting to sleep at a relatively respectable time of 11:20 p.m. (that’s 8:20 in AZ) I did wake up at 3 a.m. unable to get back to sleep.  The good news is that if I can make it the rest of the day now without napping I should be tired enough to go to bed tonight at my normal time of 10 p.m.  I’m thinking a Dunkin Donuts coffee run might be in order as soon as Jim is up for work.  Jet lag is a small price to pay for all the fun we had in Arizona.  We had a fantastic trip and wonderful time celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary.  Where DOES the time go?  It’s such a cliche but it really does seem like yesterday that we were flying out to Tahoe to get married and driving around California for our honeymoon.

We took a side trip to Prescott this time and discovered a great trail that is part of the rails to trails system.  If you’re ever in the Prescott area, the Peavine and Watson Lake are definitely worth checking out.  I won’t bore you with all of them (if you MUST see all of them, go here) but here are a couple of the best shots…gorgeous, isn’t it?  The best part is it’s only about an hour and 15 minute drive for us.

I did only a little knitting while we were away, all on the travel socks that have been on the needles an inordinately long time.  I’ve now carried the Vivian sweater back and forth to Arizona three times without touching it.  I’m modifying it a bit at the waist shaping which explains my lack of progress.  I was able to get some spinning done though so more on that tomorrow.  In the meantime, don’t forget that today at midnight is the deadline for my 4 year blogiversary giveaway.  Make sure you’re signed up for a chance to win a Namaste bag and other fiber goodies!

And because no day is complete without some cuteness (from our back yard in AZ):
