Our first hike of the trip was the 2 mile Eagle Trail. I really wanted to do this one in particular because of some of the pictures I'd seen online. They had shown that it had a lot of different interesting features. What I didn't pay any attention do was the difficulty. Difficulty isn't something… Continue reading Eagle Trail Hike

Chokecherry Blooms
The chokecherry is probably one of my favorite trees and I've posted about it before because of that. This year, the timing was perfect to have the windows open for a couple of days when this was in full bloom, meaning I could sit here and just be enveloped in the absolutely wonderful smell those… Continue reading Chokecherry Blooms

I obviously enjoy a wide range of books across many genres, but the ones that tend to stick with me the most are the ones that can give me a story about the imperfections of humanity and do so with a strong emotional impact, be it through humor, joy, anger, love, tears or grief. As… Continue reading Resonance
Nest of Awesome
