So fellow travelers, a few more thoughts rattling around my brain about the first hike of the season. I returned from my Spring Equinox hike feeling more peaceful than I had in weeks. As I said in my earlier post, I didn’t know what shifted, I just know something settled in my heart which eased …

Easter Lace
So fellow travelers, I miss Spring. It was here not long ago. Pretty little periwinkles in my daylily bed.
