Darren and I went on a hike up AF Canyon. He went one way and I went another. :). I had a good workout solo hike to the Pine Hollow valley overlook. I got a PR to the first meadow in 27:05. There were a few glacier lilies and a couple aspens greening out. Home to hang out for the rest of the day. 

I have a bit of a hard time getting out hiking after going somewhere super cool (like Canyonlands) knowing it’s not going to be super cool. But going yesterday and today reminded me that mountain air is always good.

Lovely Friday morning. Took Baylie on a walk and then went on a little hike. We were 1 moose short of a perfect Friday May hike. At least the snakes had the right number (0).

Woke up singing Redeemer of Israel. Love that hymn. I read it and discovered 2 extra verses that are good. (5 and 6 - add to verse 1)

Chatted with Mason yesterday about “bloomin’ cactus” and we cannot remember the origin, just that he said it one time and it stuck.

First four square of the season! Cam and Sadie made us delicious cookies and Baylie was being a goofball.

I love yellow flowers. We went to Three Falls today to see them. Then I thought back to the yellow flowers I saw in Salt Creek.

I love visiting Snow College. This time I went for Rachael’s graduation. We had 7 of us there that had graduated from Snow. (Rachael was the only one that got a 4 year degree.)
