Good day!
A lot of tasks await. Like trees in the forest, its easy to get lost without focus & a plan.
Its a holiday, so people will be out & aboutif they can get out.
I like to be out & about when people are at work.
Be everwell.

Good day!
Evie blazes her first trail in the snow.
I cant believe how much snow were getting. People cant get their cars out of the parking lot. Making my way to the main trail for my walk it was almost over my boots.

Good day!
The heavy snow falling is trying its best to make up for the last decade. Yet, just as fast, it could be gone.
Managing resources requires more than a short attention span. It requires a mindset handed down from 1 generation to another.

5 Slot Canyon, Anza-Borrego Desert, CA
Less than 2 hours from San Diego, the journey to the wild and arid Anza-Borrego Desert State Park is so scenic that you'll barely notice the long drive. However, without a map there's a good chance you'd miss this impressive slot canyon near Ocotillo Wells if you didn't know what to look for.
Good day!
One of my least favorite days of the year has passed, but days are what you make them so I had an excellent day editing.
Book3, one romance trying to awaken, another closing its eyes.
Another chapter awaits, but first a walk & some tax stuff.
Be everwell.
Hey friends Forgotten to mention that The Legend of Heros:Trails Through Daybreak 2 arrived yesterday. Currently on chapter 3 of the base game. Interesting to see its jumped from a 12 to 18 rating Big this series Have a great day everyone

Good day!
Looking back, as in the trail left behind
I dont do many things well, but my turkey soup is to die for. A gift to myself.
The insane cold is over, the chance for snow returned.
Ill edit a romantic chapter today. Another gift to me.
Be everwell.

Good day!
I took this early on my snowshoe adventure. It was the last time I saw blue sky.
Soup made! Ill freeze most of it.
With so many tasks stealing time, Ill take a deep breath, settle, walk, & dive into my neglected editing.
On the horizon Taxes.

Trail runs in Capitol State Forest in early autumn are full of mud and verdant moss that seems to glow with the life-giving moisture of autumn rain12
Good day!
When I walked in subzero temps last winter my sunglasses completely froze (I need them to prevent migraines).
Yesterday, my goggles remained clear.
Turkey stock is ready to become soup on this frigid day.
More editing with Evie the cat.

Another sunset on the trail, Sleeping Giant State Park, Hamden, Connecticut. November 7, 2023, 4:29 PM.
5k trail run. I actually ran 95% of the trail this time and can feel myself getting stronger. That.. Or it was because of all the carbs from the pizza yesterdayCrescent moon at sunset, reflected in that puddle alongside the inlet stream. New Britain Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut.

Good day!
*One of the few instances when I could see beyond the trees because of falling snow.
Currently -6F (-21C). Yes, Ill walk.
Made turkey stock overnight. Epic amounts of soup will happen later. More editing today & will draft a blog post.
Be everwell.

Good day!
Back from walking. 10F (-12.2C). 10mph (16kph) wind.
I was toasty warm & had to open my clothing a bit. Once home, I peeled off clothes as fast as possible.
Tomorrow will be a real challenge.
I do this partly so my lungs dont contract over the winter.
Be everwell.

Good day!
I am tired after a wonderful day spent hiking in Pattee Canyon. The views were modest, but it was an excellent place to learn to use snowshoes.
Now, the cold. Its 8F (-13.3C) now & supposed to be far colder the next few days.
Great time for editing & making turkey soup.
And always I walk.
Be everwell.
Good day!
Look at me being new!
Snowshoeing for the 1st time on a trail. I went to Pattee Canyon and covered 4-miles (6.4K).
It was amazing, and snowed the entire time, though the sun attempted to shine a couple of times.
How I love my seasons.
Be everwell.

Good day!
Snow adds contrast, changes perspective.
Its amazing what I see when I change my perspective, when I push through the anxiety that would rule my life.
If I let it.
The key isnt failing, but not letting failure stop me.
Be everwell.

Good day!
Had to run an errand yesterday. Almost got stuck. They closed the interstate briefly.
Its F (C).
Its time to retake control of my focus & act with purpose. Too much flittering.
So: editing, salsa, figure-out carrying my snowshoes on my pack.
Be everwell.
This trail is one of my favorite! It stars just a few km from my house and goes all the way to Concarneau.You walk to the sound of birds and the river running through.
Very peaceful

Good day!
I seriously believe weve had more snow this month than in the last 10 years combined.
Theyve given up trying to forecast it.
Its snowing.
And turning colder.
A walk, some chores, find my focus, & then try, yet again, to put in a good day of editing.
Be everwell.
This trail in Vermont follows a picturesque stream for miles, crossing over the stream many times on bridges like this. While I was cross country skiing on the trail earlier this week, there were also people running, walking, and cycling (fat tires). Fun for all!

Good day!
They forecasted no snow today. That wouldve meant more if hadnt snowed all morning.
5 straight days now
Ironically, the one day I went out for an extended hike in the snowthe snow quit & the clouds moved off.
I still love it.
Be everwell.

Missoula, Clark Fork River
Good day!
Hiked east past downtown & into the mountains yesterday. Im still learning winter hiking. I dressed right, but, too spontaneous, I made some incorrect assumptions.
Ill walk this morning, edit Book3, & cook, each day ever colder.
Be everwell.

Black diamond mine park on a cloudy Day. This is one of my favorite parks. Its super dog friendly, you can backpack with your dog here, and its beautiful all year long. Just watch out for ticks, bats, tarantulas, rattlesnakes, coyotes. and people.05
Good day!
Its STILL snowing (12F, -11.1C).
Yesterday, the horrific wind made it impossible to guess amounts. In places, little snow. In others, drifts. The wind died late in the afternoon.
Maybe this is a good day to wander I should.
I must edit my blog post.
Be everwell.
It's an orangey sky (h/t to The Cars). Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. May 18, 2021, 7:53 PM.
A short part of Ruta 40 in the south is unpaved. Its know as the Malditos but it isn't too bad. It could be terrible when wet due to some sections being compacted dirt rather than gravel, but stick to the lines and you'll be fine.
At the end of that section, I put the bike aside for a bit and went hiking. Pic 2 is of the Fitzroy mountain peaks seen from the hiking trail.
