perfectly fall day

the weather has been absolutely glorious!

Saturday was a perfect day hike kind of day....

so off we went

Pinnacle Peak Trail . . . Rainier National Park

Tatoosh Mountain Range

Autumn is just starting to show her colors...

the leaves are all falling

and they're falling like

they're falling in love with the ground

Andrea Gibson

I would rather sit on a pumpkin

and have it all to myself

than be crowded on a velvet cushion

Henry David Thoreau

If you are faced with a mountain

you have several options

you can climb it & cross to the other side

you can go around it

you can did under it

you can fly over it

you can blow it up

you can ignore it & pretend it's not there

you can turn around & go back the way you cam

or you can stay on the mountain & make it your home

Vera Nazarian

met these guys along the way

they were going to make the most of the day

by skiing on a wee bit of patch of glacier snow 

        the mountains were his masters

              they were rimmed in life

                they were the cup of reality

                         beyond growth

                beyond struggle and death

         they were his absolute unity 

   in the midst of eternal change

Thomas Wolfe

                   you must not blame me 
                 if I do talk to the clouds

Sunday Rambles

♦♦♦♦♦

The best way to deal with gray overcast skies is to get out there in it!!

The hardest part is getting out your own door.

Leaving your warm cozy home, button up your coat, pull on your hat 

& tie on your scarf.

Step outside .. the brisk air hits your face.

Breathe in the chill.

Once you are out there ~ moving around ~ your blood warms up..

and it is gorgeous out there!!!

I only went out for a walk

and finally concluded to stay out till sundown

for going out

I found 

was really going in

♦♦ John Muir

adopt the pace of nature

her secret is patience

♦♦ Ralph Waldo Emerson

I believe that there is a subtle magnetism in Nature

if we unconsciously yield to it

will direct us aright

♦♦ Henry David Thoreau
