Just popping with a few more items I’ve been able to check off the list for the 2016 Summertime scavenger hunt.

2. A footprint or pawprint

I’m the guilty party here…I rarely wear shoes at home…even when I should. I walked through the wet grass on the way into the house. Lucky for me my phone was in my pocket to snap a quick photo before it dried.

4. A book or magazine read during 2016

I read on my Nook 95% of the time but I did check out some books from the library this summer. It took me a while to get used to reading E-books but they are much lighter reading in bed…and don’t hurt so much when I drop it on my face. Yep, sleep reading is a dangerous hobby.

5. A porch or deck

This is the Trex deck at the MN Landscape Arboretum. It overlooks a lovely pond.

15. A team logo

Just a few of our local teams including our beloved North Stars. So sad when they left MN for Dallas of all places. Hello… Minnesota=Hockey. At least now we have The Wild.

19. A seasonal cocktail or beverage

New favorite beverage….a Moscow Mule in a chilled copper mug. YUM!!!

I still have yet to find or at least photograph these items.

3. A skeleton, bone or x-ray
10. A bicycle
12. A window
16. A map showing a trip taken during the time period
18. A supermarket cart, basket or trolley full of groceries 
20. Someone laughing
21. A photograph of you with a newspaper or calendar page from the time period covered in the Hunt. Note: you may not use a substitute for this item.
Alternatives – if you’re having trouble finding any of the above, you may substitute from this list (but you may not substitute for item #21):
alternative 1: a lighthouse
alternative 2: a baby (human or animal)

I’ll do a final check in before the end of the challenge which ends at the autumn equinox on September 22, 2016.

Happy hunting!
