I don’t like rollercoasters. I don’t seek them out, I don’t ride them, they’re not my thing. So how did I end up riding a rollercoaster through the trees at Copper Mountain? About a month ago, I saw a TikTok. Things you can do in CO! Hidden gems as one might say. I sent itContinue reading “Mountain Rollercoaster”

Second Month of 2022
The shortest month of the year has felt like the longest month in history. Okay, not in history but how are we still in only the second month of the year??

Overlook
from 2019 I climbed up a mountain to see the leaves. It was a gradual incline over sixty minutes, I don’t know how high I got, But the view took me to another planet. Wide open land between mountains, Empty roads with no end in sight. I was in awe of this view, I hadContinue reading “Overlook”
January Walk

I stopped in shock andContinue reading “A Reminder”
Trip to Greenville

We entered the restaurant and the bar was packed with people. On a Tuesday afternoon! We ate outside and people-watchedContinue reading “Trip to Greenville”
Reading By The Lake
Late September, early fall, crisp in the air. Center Pond, Maine, late-afternoon. I sit by the lake with a jacket and boots on, kindle in my hand. The leaves across the way are changing.
