So, I’ve never heard anyone describe the experience of transporting a cat on a long plane trip. First trip went fine. Yesterday’s trip, not as fine.
Let’s just say the layover was messy, and neither of us were a fan of showering together after arriving. But we survived and are still friends.

Gorgeous day for a hike. Decided against going up this mountain with the white stuff, but made it around the loop.

I love that I can sprinkle some (old) turnip seeds in the loose dirt and a few months later—voila. Grateful for the gifts of the soil, sun, water.

Yesterday I drove through the beginning of monsoon season in the desert. Lightning, thunder, pouring down rain after I left my youngest at college and headed back to the airport. Weather felt emblematic of the transition.
First day empty nesting today, spent on a hillside picking blueberries.

My heart is full. A wonderful weekend outside, walking, hiking, with friends and family. And the frosting is that the turning point to berry season is here! In a month, I might be tired of it, but for now, I look forward to many hours of meditative calm as I pick many kinds of berries.

My youngest recently told me I needed to finish reading Desert Solitaire. Told him, I don’t dare do that right now. After I started it, I applied to volunteer on trail crew. If I finish it right now, I might not be able to help the kids through college! 😂
That said, here is some lichen.

A friend on SPI pointed out this book when I arrived to work and had more colonialist perspective books in hand that they disliked. If you can get your hands on a copy of it, it will be eye-opening indeed.

From a friend my age, created to generate discussion with our young adult kids. Specifically designed to clarify the word “situationship,” which I just learned is a well-understood term amongst the kids….learn something new everyday.
Entertaining, to say the least.

Can’t believe it took me 15 years to get out to Rabbit Lake. Glad I got to take my college bestie.
