Spring has arrived. On Wednesday, I took off for a few hours to hike. The weather was perfect: the sun was shining, the wind kept itself to a cool, slight breeze (as opposed to Thursday, when the sustained wind speed was 37.5 mph), and the temperature was warm, but not oppressive.
My Ten Things of Thankful list this week will be mostly made of photos. Each time I climbed another hill, or turned another corner, I was delighted with the new view. Come along with me!
The poppy fields can be seen from miles away.
Many other people had the same idea I had on Wednesday. The line to get into the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve was longer than I've ever seen it. Many cars turned around and decided to just park on the main street and hike into the reserve.
Once I finally got the car parked and started to hike, I was greeted with wonderful views. I hiked the steepest and furthest trails, and was rewarded by moments of solitude.
Thank you it is a sad day indeed - I will check the video when I get home tonight -
ReplyDelete9-11-01 was such a shocking day. It's nice to be reminded of the examples of goodness that were demonstrated amidst such horror.
DeleteIt is interesting to see this day through the eyes of students like my Granddaughter who weren't here when it happened. They've seen videos on Youtube but are shocked that WE actually remember seeing it live on TV.
ReplyDeleteYes. Kind of like those of us who have seen footage of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, but were not alive at the time.
DeleteI think you know that my husband's job is very much related to all of this, and, in fact, he worked until midnight last night... I can't write about it but I'm so glad that you shared this today. We must always remember to be better, to do better, and to teach better. <3
ReplyDeleteTell your husband thank you for his efforts.
