Abilene Reflection

Posted on June 25, 2022June 18, 20221 Comment on Abilene Reflection

The Silence of Nature allows reflection. Not matter how challenging today is with all the stress of disease, money, war and politics, I can be still in nature, and think about similar times in the past when I was much younger. I reflect on my peace, not because I have retired, but because I have … Continue reading Abilene Reflection

Slow Down for Adventure

Posted on April 30, 2022April 13, 2022No Comments on Slow Down for Adventure

On my yearly break from insane living, I read poetry and sacred focused writings regarding nature. My two favorite authors are Laurie Kehler and Beldon Lane. Laurie writes in “This Outside Life, p. 148”, “Why? Keeps us looking at God’s hand, going in circles. What’s next? Directs our gaze upward to God’s face opening the … Continue reading Slow Down for Adventure

Enchanted Wind

Enchanted Wind

Posted on April 2, 2022March 30, 20221 Comment on Enchanted Wind

Hiking Enchanted Rock in the middle of Texas 20 miles north of Fredericksburg, was one to remember. Sustained winds of 30 plus miles per hour with gusts of 40-50 miles per hour buffeted us in every direction as we climbed 1,843 feet in 0.8 miles with no trees to shield us from the onslaught. It … Continue reading Enchanted Wind

Amazing Capacity

Posted on March 19, 2022March 12, 20221 Comment on Amazing Capacity

“The only indispensable item I pack (on a backpacking trip) is a capacity for amazement,” says Beldon Lane in ‘Backpacking with the Saints’ p. 91. For a moment upon meeting the my house guest husky Kemah, I was amazed. She is large, black and white and has beautiful blue eyes. Her soft hair has been … Continue reading Amazing Capacity

Peaceful Poudre

Posted on November 27, 2021August 31, 2021No Comments on Peaceful Poudre

Waiting for Taz, our twelve-year-old Schipperke dog to be treated at the Veterinary School in Ft. Collins, Colorado, we decided to sneak out for a quick hike in the nearby hills. This area had been threatened by fire in 2020 and I wanted to see how close the fire had come to this area.  We … Continue reading Peaceful Poudre

Breathing Water

Posted on November 20, 2021August 31, 2021No Comments on Breathing Water

Walking in Florida is like breathing water. The cloying humidity requires us to get up and be done with any mileage walks by 8:30 am. The afternoon thunderstorms were quite impressive and the humidity increased as the day heated. We were there for a Memorial service in late July 2021, and had a day to … Continue reading Breathing Water

Desert Pinnacle and Gateway

Posted on November 13, 2021August 31, 2021No Comments on Desert Pinnacle and Gateway

Found another Arizona written blog:  Pinnacle Point is one of the most unique rock shapes in the Scottsdale skyline. It is located in the central part of the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, and one place I remember from hiking here 20 years ago.  I hiked and took no pictures – only my memories remain. Maybe my husband … Continue reading Desert Pinnacle and Gateway

Have you ever walked and prayed? Taken a prayer walk? When I see something spectacular in nature on a hike, I say ‘thank you God for this beauty’. My friend and I decided to try the different methods of prayer outlined in the book “Want to Hear God? Connect with Him in Prayer” by Nancy … Continue reading Prayer Walk Miracle

Last Big Hike?

Posted on October 30, 2021August 15, 2021No Comments on Last Big Hike?

l am glad to say Taz survived the cancer tumor surgery, the big hematoma bruise after climbing and tearing out the inside stitches. He has a few more years of adventures and walks in the life of Taz. Our hiking dog Taz had a fatty tumor between his leg and groin that continued to grow.  Finally … Continue reading Last Big Hike?
