Hey, I saw your message about the weekend plans and got back way too late. Honestly, I was stuck repotting those tomato seedlings and completely lost track of time. Do you still want to head up to the ridge on Sunday morning? The trailhead near the old water tower is usually pretty empty if we get there before eight. I can pack some cold brew and those sourdough crackers you like. Also, that book you lent me about cloud formations is finally on my kitchen counter, sorry it took three months. The last chapter was surprisingly good, I dog-eared the part about cumulonimbus. If we do go, remind me to show you the photo of the deer that walked through my yard yesterday. Not sure if we should bring the heavier jackets or just a windbreaker, the forecast keeps shifting. Anyway, let me know if you are still up for it.
Oh, and I finally found my other pair of hiking socks.
They were in the bottom of the laundry basket the entire time.

Sorry I missed your call earlier, I was in the middle of reorganizing the garage and did not hear the phone. Yes, I can definitely pick up the extra folding chairs from your place before Saturday. Are they still stored behind the old ladder near the workbench? I will probably swing by around three in the afternoon if that works for you. Also, do you think we need to bring the extra cooler or should we just use the one from last time? Mine still has a small crack near the handle so it leaks when it gets too full. I can grab a couple of bags of ice on the way over if you want. Oh, and I started watching that cooking show you recommended, the one with the very calm host who never tastes the food. It is surprisingly relaxing. Let me know if you need anything else from the store, I am making a quick list now anyway.
I think I might also stop by the plant nursery, they had some lavender on sale last week.
If I find the good kind maybe I will grab a few for the porch.
