I started the day off with a little run/hike on the Perimeter Trail at Sewanee this morning. Then I stopped by the Goat Market before going down to Lowe’s in Kimball, via Tracy City and Jasper. I stopped by Foster Falls, but the parking lot was packed with a group that had just arrived, so I passed. After Lowe’s I returned to the cottage and started splitting and loading wood. The excavator called and said he could come dig out the footings, so I met him and knocked that out in a little over an hour. Back at the cottage I finished loading the trailer, packed my bags, and headed home. I made a couple of stops along the way – at the block dealer in Winchester and the grocery store in Chapel Hill. I arrived home around 4:50 and was able to read to Luke and play with him a bit.
