A beautiful morning spent hiking. 🥾 The mountain laurel is blooming!

If you invite me out and I say “maybe,” just know that’s introvert code for “absolutely not, but I appreciate you.”

30 + years later and I still think Spooky is a masterpiece.

So achingly beautiful. I love this song. open.spotify.com/track/4WJDGPjU…

My first black snake of the year. I almost stepped on her. She’s pretty!

Ahh, the vitamin and supplement phase of my life. 🙄

I hate perimenopause. Everything that society told you is valuable and good about yourself for the past 50 years disappears. Suddenly you’re a shadow of what you once were. A Temu version of yourself. Oh, the rage and depression! 😡 😭

GBH is playing in RVA this year. Excited!

On Saturday I want to hike to a waterfall I’ve never been to before. There are 4 or 5 creek/river crossings. A few days ago a guy who is 6’1 said the crossings were up to his knee from the storms last week. A week should be enough time for that water to move out, right? Yes? No?

Not a lot of books have me sobbing 22 pages in but this one did. I sat in bed reading and crying. But so far it’s good.

I can feel a migraine brewing so I decided caffeine would help. A workmate gave me an energy drink (I never drink them). Now I feel like my heart is going to explode. How do people drink these things all the time?

Ugh. I got a jury duty notice. What’s the point of civic duty these days? It doesn’t apply to our “leaders”.

Robbie Grey has aged very well. Just saw a recent pic… 🤤 ❤️

☕️ Should I be offended?

Today’s hike was glorious! I went to the St. Mary’s wilderness and made peppermint tea by a stunning waterfall. I had to ford/wade 5 river crossings that were 🥶 but kind of refreshing. Three crossings were mid calf or knee deep. Only one was thigh deep. But I loved it! So fun!

Capped off a fantastic day with a visit to one of my favorite wineries. Life is good!
