Holidays, exercise, the lights, and the shoes

Tree

We haven't visited the gym much lately, we try to go four times a week and golf two, but the weather has been atrocious and the Christmas spirit thing is running. We're hosting two get togethers on the 22nd as our commitment to joy, so we've got the Christmas lights, tree and decorations up. We've also managed to be out and about seeing the lights, read more to see where to go in Puget Sound. Meanwhile shopping brought on appreciation for my Nike running shoes and customizing them. I hadn't heard the term pimping sneakers before. I delved into memory lane to discuss my favorite shoe after recalling reading Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. And I did some baking, without much success but read more if you want to hear how to avoid making apocalyptic sugar cookies for the holidays.

Melakwa Lake Hike

  • Icewater
    These are some pictures taken during our Labor day weekend hike to Melakwa Lake. This hike is one of the many found in the Denny Creek recreation area in the Cascade Mountains of WA state, at the exit off I-90 bearing the name. Follow the signs to Denny Creek road, pass the campground and eventually you get to the Melakwa Lake trailhead. Total trip length 8 miles, approximately 9 hours with 2950 gain. Good stopping points at 1 mile in at slippery rocks and at the second falls about 45 minutes further. Hemlock pass is another 2.5 miles. Once you reach the top, the trail drops 1/2 a mile, 350 feet to the lake.

Mushrooms

  • Smushrooms
    These photo's were taken yesterday by my husband, Bob on our day workshop on Mushrooms at the Cedar River Watershed in Washington state. See my blog about this event for more information. I don't know all the names of the mushrooms shown. The photo's were taken with a Nikon. All photo's and text copyright Robert and Sheri Harper.
