Hiking highs

My dear one,

On Friday I took my first truly solo hiking adventure, since my usual hiking buddy had a rehearsal. It was a wonderful time of meditation and prayer in God's beautiful creation! The fog was heavy as I started out on the first trail. Spring is just arriving at that altitude.








A beautiful little gazebo emerged from the fog. I must admit my first thought was: "This would be the perfect place for a marriage proposal."


I spied several different wildflowers, including dog-violet and trillium...



The second trail I began was quite rugged. Nervous about doing it on my own, I soon turned back.




The final trail took me through a balsam forest. The aroma of the balsams was intoxicating and the view at the summit exhilarating!




How much more exhilerating it would be to hike with you...!
