Redcloud, Sunshine, and Handies
Such an amazing weekend. Friends and family joined me for camping, a birthday BBQ, cheesecake, and three fourteeners. I had the most wonderful time and I am so grateful for all the awesome people I know. Year 29 is off to a great start!
Only 7 fourteeners to go!
Number fifty one: the big one.
Considered to be the most difficult Colorado fourteener for one reason; the knife edge. 100ft of exposed ridge line where shear rock faces abut each other forming a 90 degree angle with 1000 ft drops to either side. But first, you have to get there. 7 mile backpack in, camp at the lake, wake up at 2:30am, scale the saddle and rock gully in the dark, summit a 13er; then it's the knife edge between you and the summit. And once you finally reach your goal, there's nothing for it but to go back across the knife to come down again! It was a long, exhausting, and completely amazing day.
How does your garden grow?
Mine grows with weeds. Admittedly, I didn't have time to plant this spring because of when we moved in. However we do have an abundance of mint, oregano, basil, and green and yellow onions thanks to the previous owners. I am hoping to plant for the fall season soon... What should I try? Any tips?
Happy growing!
This week has been dragging on hasn't it? We are entering the dog days of summer which are good only for sitting on the patio with drinks, and yet we still have so much that needs doing. Soça at least loves these days, perhaps that's why they're hers.
~ Have a wonderful summer weekend friends ~
