Hi guys!
It was cloudy today when we got up, but it was supposed to be as they had been calling for rain today. It rained a bit, sprinkled some, and mostly misted.
We headed out for the hike; Jan was down south toward Seattle way at a volley ball tournament as she’s friends with one of the player’s family, so she supports them by attending. It was very grey and it seemed you could feel the mist hitting your face, but you couldn’t really see it. As we headed up, it became more apparent that it was precipitating. It was like we were ascending into a cloud. Up at the first part of the trail at the off grid cabin, you could look out over the valley and see nothing. It was one big grey mass.We entered the forest, and as we climbed higher on the trail, the mist dissipated. Everything was wet and drippy. Since my husband has me lead, I am the one who absorbs the majority of the water on the plants along the trail. Consequently, my pants are usually wet almost up to my knees by the time we’re done. The one good thing is it proved my new hiking boots are indeed water proof!
We did the entire hike, but the interesting thing is that once we descended the upper trail, the mist was back and it began to rain. Mike donned the raincoat and I pulled out my umbrella. I dislike raincoats as they just hold heat in and I don’t do well with heat. As soon as we were off the trail and back on the road to descend the rest of the way to home, it stopped raining altogether.
We had initially had plans to regroup and make a coffee and then head to town, but I’m tired today and the hike was more than enough for me. So we stayed home; I read for a bit and finished a movie I’d been watching. It was a nice quiet afternoon spent with my hubby beside me.
Tomorrow is church, and when we first met the pastor, his mom told me his birthday. It happens to be the same day, month and year as mine, lol! I’ve never met ANYONE who I’ve shared a total match with. Last week, he asked me what we were going to do for our birthday? I said that I didn’t know; just what should we do for our birthday? Anyway, it’s a huge joke with our families. His mom had asked me if we were born in the same hospital, but I had to say no as I was over 2500 miles away at the time. So I guess I’ve been adopted into the family, lol! They are fun to be around!
Keep on steppin’ out there and reap the benefits of being active!
That’s if for now. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful
