Happy October! Feels like it snuck up on us.
October is typically one of my favorite months, weather-wise anyway. It also is the month of Inktober! 31 days, 31 ink drawings.
I've made it to the starting line at least. Today's prompt is "dream"
I always wanted one of these Barbie Dream campers, but alas, it was not to be. Maybe I'll have a real one when I'm an old(er) lady.
Speaking of starting lines and old ladies, this morning was also the first of the season for Tortoise and Hare races. It was a short and sweet 4K (2.5 miles). Big turnout because...
- it's the first race of the season
- it's the shortest race of the season
- the weather was beaut
I managed to make it to the finish without succumbing to injury or death, so it was a win. I noticed another runner refer to the races as "Tortuga y Conejo", and I think I like that better. Maybe I'm getting bored with English.

I don't think I was too much of a tortuga. I was slightly slower than my predicted pace as the algorithm is still adjusting to my post-covid self, but it was a fun time with the other weirdos.
So a nice end to a decent week and a nice start to the month. See ya, summer.

It's about that time for races here too. I am not trained up for the 12.5 mile trail run I did last year so I'll be sticking to the Turkey Trot 5k and then the 5 mile challenge in early December.
Love your drawing! I've never heard of Inktober.
Running though? Nah, not for me. Well done you.
Allstarme79, sounds fun! Our local run club does 7 T&H races, October thru April, of varying distances. Nice way to keep us on our toes, literally.
Liz, I think one of my kids told me about Inktober several years ago. I've been participating ever since, but have gotten all 31 prompts just once. Jump in!
I too wanted a Barbie camper and dream house. I had neither. I did survive though. It's still hot here. 85 today. I am so ready for 65-70. or colder I wouldn't mind either. I want to wear a sweatshirt and long pants.
Peggy, I actually did have the Barbie townhouse - complete with elevator, living the high lifestyle.
I wore fleece and long pants yesterday 🤗
I loved Barbie and played with them all the time! I never had any kind of accessories for her though. I would make furniture out of cardboard and clothes out of tissues or fabric scraps from my mom!
