Ed joined me for hike 5 for Tay's Summit Challenge. I'm fundraising for the Taylor James Steeves Foundation and would really appreciate your help! The donation link is here: https://runsignup.com/crittoria  
Thank you so much! I hope you're enjoying following along. I'm having fun spending even more time in the woods than usual. My house is a mess, but my heart is happy!

This sign always makes me laugh. It's really kinda self-explanatory!

My plans fell through, so on a whim this morning I texted Cait to see if she wanted to go for a hike. She was getting ready to go to Portsmouth. Perfect! I suggested we have a picnic on Agamenticus, which would be on her way.
I hadn't been there since I was a kid, when Dad took us there to see the defunct ski resort. (And probably to blow off some steam before a family event. I do remember my brother, sister, and I running around like crazy! 🤣) It had closed shortly after I was born, but at that point you could still see the trails and lifts. Now it has grown up into woodland, and looks nothing like it did back then. There is quite the trail system, and it's been beautifully redone as a park. It was a gorgeous day and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It's always so good to catch up with Cait. Thanks for joining me!

George & I had a day! First, we discovered some waterfalls, 
and then we climbed South Mountain and ran back to the car from the trailhead.
 We'll sleep well tonight!

10 years ago today we met at a canicross race at Smiling Hill Farm. Who knew that chance meeting would lead to so much adventure and laughter? We've sure had some fun together. I can't wait to see where we'll go next! ❤️

It's been a long time since I finished a cross stitch project!
