Beauty shall reign

For me, due to one of my infrequent journeys to a salon; my usual hair artiste was in the process of giving birth to her second child, a girl, so her friend and colleague took on the pruning task. Turns out she is a fairly new climber, and was thrilled to have a sympathetic ear for her enthusiasm. We hatched a plan to go to the gym the next day.
Great walking about weather, probably truly the end of the warmish stretch. People frenetically circling the lake, and another log raft of turtles was espied, soaking up rays before they do whatever turtles do once it turns cold; burrow into the mud, I think.
