Hi everybdy!! Thanks for stopping by!
We got up this morning to a cloudy but dry day. We were excited to have the chance to finally get the full mountain hike for the first time in what seems like a long time! After some breakfast and coffee, we headed out.
I was kind of hoping for some change of the scenery, but I suppose not much is going to change in the middle of fall/winter! It was a dreary, grey day, but it was nice to get to stretch out in my hiking stride. We took the upper trail on to Bear Hollow, around the Slumbering Bear trail
and onto Buckhorn Ridge, stopping for a brief break at Towhee Ridge picnic deck. As I looked eastward, you could see a bit of snow on the peak of Sumas mountain.
It was a crisp and cool day, but I managed to work up a bit of a sweat hiking, lol!
On the way back down, I looked down as we were descending the Upper Trail, only to see one tiny pink flower blooming when it shouldn’t really be blooming. As I looked further back off the trail, I found two more but didn’t take a picture of them. A delicate pink blossom struggling to bloom amidst the cold air and frost that is sure to come tonight.
Just as we came to the crossroads where the trail becomes wider, I literally almost stepped in some Bobcat scat. You could see bits of hair in it. I can tell you for sure that it was not there when we first came up that trail. The time that had elapsed from then until our descent was probably no more than an hour or so.
Afterward, we had planned to go on a much needed necessities shopping trip, but since darkness was approaching, neither of us really wanted that adventure. So, we opted to stay home while my husband listened to the in ear monitor earbuds he got me for Christmas trying to decide if he wanted some for himself or not (I’ll do a post on them soon) while I set up the new printer he got me for Christmas.
For dinner we had spaghetti and meatballs with homemade sauce with browned butter and mizythra cheese. Yummy!!
It will be time for bed soon. I am tired……seems like I always am tired, lol! Take care!
Thanks for stopping by! Don’t forget to keep on steppin’! Any exercise is good for you, so keep at it. Have a wonderful day wherever you are!
