a NEW {fabulous} hike

Happy Friday!  Well, recently hubby and I took a short weekend getaway and went on this hike that I’ve been wanting to do for a while now (remember I told you about it a few posts back? :o).  It did not disappoint! Such a fun hike…and beautiful, am I right?!?

For most of the hike, we were trekking through this creek bed and I’m SO glad we invested in some trekking poles for this one!  Our boys really razzed us when we got home and they saw our poles, but I’m tellin’ ya, those wet, mossy, river rocks are slippery suckers, and if we wouldn’t have had those poles, we’d have been a LOT wetter than we were!

I have plenty more pics from this hike that I’ll likely share (hopefully they won’t get too tiring).

Have a great day! Pick out a NEW hike and put it on your to-explore list!

 

Miscellaneous Monday…NEW stuff i gotta share

Happy Monday!

This may be the last of of the poppy field pics. I’m not sure – it seems like I’ve posted so many!  But I like this one with the snow-capped mountain in the background.

On with other randomness:

What I’ve been reading:

moonstone

Well, I’ve actually been listening to this while I drive (14 separate disks!!!)…it’s taking me a while! I’m on disk 12 and it’s just getting to the good part – the wrapping up part.  I’ve enjoyed it, but think I should’ve listened through audible so I could increase the speed. :o)

wall

willowkeep

These two I read for my book club group.  Both were really good, but I especially liked Willowkeep.

Another very random thing:  I learned about hydroponic lettuce! I am I the last to know about this? I thought it was very interesting!

And lastly, I’m always interested to learn there’s actual terms for certain things.  Like the time I posted about learning there was an actual word (Bento) for cute little lunch items!  This time, I’m surprised there’s an actual name for a technique I’ve semi-used for years: The Pomodoro Technique.  I think I can use this technique even more scientifically and efficiently that I have in the past, so I think I’ll study it a bit further.  BUT…there’s an actual name for it!  You all have probably used it too!

That’s it for this Monday.  Have a great day.  Do something NEW…or go find NEW stuff out!

 

 

a NEW taste Tuesday

Happy Tuesday!  Well, Saturday evening I clicked on over to Life In Between to get the coleslaw recipe I’d seen there recently, but couldn’t resist trying this raspberry tart recipe too.  It was SO easy and delicious…especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Thank you Jodi for always providing such wonderful NEW recipes for us to drool over! I made the coleslaw too, but didn’t take any pics – it was a winner too!

Have a great day!  Try a NEW recipe…or two. 🙂
