Good day!
Yesterday’s forecast: possible drizzle.
Reality? Drizzle to rain to snowstorm to sunny.
All while I hiked 11.8 miles (19.0 M) from my home, most of it outside the city. It was glorious.
This morning I’ll take my morning walk, draft a blog post, & edit a chapter.
Be everwell.

Good day!
*Mount Sentinel. If you look close, there’s an M on it. Behind it is University Peak.
Right after sunrise on this chilly day, I’ll depart on a hike down Hellgate Canyon. If possible, it’ll be a long hike. I could see some drizzle.
This afternoon? Editing.
Be everwell.

from Aug 2023
Good day!
Coldest morning in a while. Another day, another walk, another chapter to edit.
While the weather transforms, I’m transforming me, transforming the book. When I reach the point when I’m no longer doing, I’m done.
I step out the door, & the mountain air transforms me…
Be everwell.

Good day!
Have to share this. It’s maximum zoom with my cheap phone. I finally caught a squirrel partaking of my morning offering on the Milwaukee Trail.
My April journal is setup. Another chapter is edited.
I’ll walk (winterish weather has returned), purchase Evie food, & edit.
Be everwell.

Good day!
I found it, the line between winter & spring.
For me, after so many days writing around other tasks, I have a day of peace for writing, though adversity has made me insanely productive.
My last hike was my longest in months, my legs eager to tackle more next week. Bring it on.
Be everwell.
#Today 27
Good day!
I took the Milwaukee Trail to explore the wild areas along the river across from downtown.
Nostalgia on my part? No, sorrow.
While our skyline grows, these areas decay. There’s neglect, restrictive fencing popping up, & expanding homeless encampments.
All thanks to our gov’t-slashing Republican governor.
5.1 sad miles.
Be everwell.

Good day!
Shortly, I’ll head east on the Milwaukee Trail for a hike along the river.
Over the next month, I’ll extend that to include Hellgate Canyon, Mt. Sentinel, & Pattee Canyon. Then, I’ll expand my horizons again.
Later, I’ll edit a chapter & reach 67% on Book3. Milestones, I note them all!
Be everwell.

Good day!
On my walk yesterday in the rain, I solved a problem in a key chapter & came up with a handful of blogging ideas.
I’ll draft one of those today.
The edit is 64% done. This was drafted 8-years ago with some light editing since. It’s kinda rough. But not when I’m done.
Be everwell.
From the trail today: wild plum blossoms and... is that a prairie dog? I'd never seen one around here.
