Sep 16

If you live long enough every day is an anniversary for something.  Today will be another one.  It is next year's anniversary for when I stayed at home on a sunny day instead of hiking.  It's beautiful but cold for camping (says sissy), and windy for the summits.  Lenticular clouds will form over the mountains and lenses will cloud over with frozen perspiration.
I will miss the egg mcmuffin allowed on the mornings of hiking.  But the stove will be busy today with the baking of cookies, stewing of chili and scent of fresh cinnamon rolls.
Nothing better on a crisp fall day!
