It snowed. On the May 2-4 weekend. Could NOT believe it. Although, now that I think about it, I was at this cabin last year for the same weekend and it snowed THEN too! And again, I did not dress for it - I brought t-shirts and sarongs and beach flip flops and lots of sunscreen…lol. So I spent the weekend wrapped in a blanket and Loverboy’s old school jacket. He thought it was cute.
Nice things about the weekend - got two strenuous hour long hikes in, on the logging road back behind the lake. Found a creek and fought my way through the undergrowth to a moss-covered rock I am sure no one has ever seen before. Sat a while and meditated on how lucky I have been in my life, considering. The next day I walked into this spot of complete and utter silence. No noise, at all - a hush that I could feel in my bones. Then, slowly, the sounds of the world came back…it was like feeling the earth pause.
Also had a great beach bonfire Sunday night - I spent all afternoon building the driftwood pile for it, then we sat on the drydock and chatted by the firelight, watching the moon rise and the stars come out.
Did not hit or even see a moose on the highway - that too was a very good thing.
Have been trying to talk Loverboy into setting up a fitday profile, and then taking a walk every night. Maybe I will make him a ‘walking’ cd. He has nothing to do there after work except eat, watch tv and smoke. He needs to lose probably 30-40 lbs, and his knees are getting worse and worse. Also he carries it all in the abdomen, which is worrying. If we are going to build a life together I want it to be a long and healthy one.
And, yay me! another sub-1700 cal day. Time to update that ticker!
