Good morning from Mt. Molly in New Durham, NH. Todays weather was gorgeous for hiking and I managed to go 6.7 km in just under two hours.
The trails I was on were densely wooded with a lot of small, young trees and plenty of rocks on and off the path. I saw at least 4 different kinds of moss, and a fallen birch tree that had some mushroom cups on it.

A popular four-mile paved loop in the hills above the university campus near Palo Alto.

Good day!
Looking down at my home ten days ago. Huh, I can see me waving back. Wasnt expecting that.
Last night was our coldest night yet. Actually, its only 44F (6.6C) right now. Days are still mild, but not for long.
Meanwhile, leaves are falling.
Be everwell.

I pushed hard yesterday & revised a long, emotionally draining chapter. This morning, Ill grab groceries & then do the same.
This what determination looks like. It pulls me up steep inclines with damaged lungs.
Stubborn Im a Taurus.
Be everwell.

Strange how nature doesnt care about the troubles humans inflict upon themselves, yet theres no more soothing place Id rather be.
It seems like I spend my life trying to be more like nature.
Thats why I check in with her, to let her know Im trying.
Be everwell.

Good day!
Mild days & cool nights. I leave my windows open & the temperature inside self-regulates.
I hate to praise it. In the US, someone is liable to purchase the nice days & charge me for them.
They already monetize life, death, & healthcare. Maybe the sun
Be everwell.

The two sides of Wood Ridge, sparsely wooded on the east (left) & densely on the west (right).
Nine miles (14.5K). Then I revised.
The nights are far cooler now, despite our inflated daytime highs. We sure could use some rain, though. Were always behind.

Good day!
Somehow, simply existing some days is exhausting. That makes us superheroes when we manage to get out of bed.
Its oh so important that we accomplish, that we defy anyone who doesnt want us to do anything.
I exist, I live, I aspire, I do, I succeed.
Be everwell.

4 Fourth Connecticut Lake, Pittsburg NH
2 mi Moderate NH's northernmost trail reaches its destination by hopping the US-Canada border without a passport!
Ive been a few days back. I came along this which seems to have seen the dawn of time. It's hollow on the inside. It's guts have gone, a witness of a long time passing by.

Good day!
Peace must be earned.
Whether its learning to meditate, & then forcing yourself to take the time
Or its finding the time to take to the trail, to circle a lake, to parallel a stream, or climb towards the clouds.
Thats why its a reward.
Be everwell.

What a night. I ran from one crisis to another, unable to solve any of themin my dreams.
I woke sitting up.
Fortunately, I found only Evie Cat.
This morning, Ill all but run down the walking path with my trekking poles & let it all go. Then, Ill revise.

Good day!
Really poor nights sleep last night
We had an unusually warm spring, cool summer, & now were unusually warm heading into autumn.
Its like we have one temperature no matter the season. I am, though, noticing the days becoming shorter, my walks dimmer.

Good day!
Its been difficult to wake up because its been so cool at night. I havent been sleeping like the dead, Ive been sleeping like the extra dead.
Does there come an age when I shouldnt joke about that
Nah.
When I lose my sense of humor, then Im dead.
Be everwell.
It's a new trail for me. I'm looking forward to seeing some water in this ravine in the winter.
I saw a tiny snake, several ravens, and four mountain cyclists.

Nothing clears my mind like a solo hike on very quiet, arid trails. I hiked for more than two hours yesterday, and I only saw four mountain cyclists.
Found this strange rock is this a fossil
As a reference, the rock is as twice as big as my head, and the sharp dark horizontal lines are shadows of grasses.
