I ❤️ Shasta #daisies
They are still blooming in our circle garden.
They can tolerate temperatures as low as -20°F.
I hope they make you #smile wherever you are.

Badger Palooza 12hr ultra is Oct 18.

Grateful for so much.

A fall in March 2024, while training for a 24hr track ultra, saved my life.
I would not have known otherwise.

Early detection saves lives.

I went out for my morning miles.
And came home with a shelf rack on wheels I carried the last 1.5 miles.
Hosed it down & sanitized it.

A wonderful curbside treasure disguised as trash 😂
Now home to more of my #paint #brushes

Another gem on the #run ! 😊
