White Queen in the Heat
When I got back to the car today, after hiking White Queen, the temperature said 37 degrees. My chocolate in my backpack had melted. And yes, I ate it anyway. That’s what baby wipes are for. Today’s hike involved some … Continue reading

Still Hot
I’m going to assume that it’s as hot as yesterday – I have not looked at the thermometer. I don’t think I need to. It’s hot. My energy has completely drained. I was okay this morning: baked bread, did the … Continue reading

Beyond Hot
First – once again a thank-you to Scott Wilson for the photo. Today is nothing like that day. Today, the thermometer outside the door (in the shade) reads 40 degrees! It’s hot. I picked almost 12 pounds of blueberries today … Continue reading

Thanks to Scott Wilson for this photo from yesterday’s hike: the last bit up the Reco summit block. Today – an entirely different experience. Sourdough bread, laundry, vacuuming, mopping, cleaning, weeding, watering. Sowed more carrots and onions for a fall … Continue reading

Silver Spray
We went up to Silver Spray today. Gorgeous – goes without saying. But, OMG – what a slog up through (we counted) 178 blowdowns! Wow! And we loved it – well, except for the blowdowns. I have a bandage on … Continue reading
