Almost Time To Head For The Hills


The warm weather these past few days is sending me its annual siren call; "Time to start planning that first overnight trek to your favorite secluded lake and catch some trout." The thought of fresh caught brookies for breakfast, sauted in wild onions and butter, is close to Nirvana. I didn't need a hearing aid to get the message; my first priority today was to go out to the garage storage area and break out the backpacking gear. It makes a great respite from pulling weeds, fertilizing, and trying to figure out what to plant in the garden. One of these overnight treks is as refreshing, physically and mentally, as a week in Cancun. Well, maybe not a whole week but damn close!

Yes, definitely time for vacation! It's finally getting nice around here, too. Those pics look very inviting. :) Just be sure to protect yourself from those nasty little TICKS.

(I went to Cancun three years ago. Loved it. :))
