a hike in the sun

I spent most of the (very short) Fall

dreading, 

positively dreading

the coming of Winter. 

And then,

Winter

came early.

So now, I am doing my best to enjoy any warm sunshiny days that we do have.

Saturday,

Penny sent me some texts

(which I didn't see, because I was cleaning...)

"You want to go on a two-hour hike?"

"It's gorgeous out - you better not be cleaning!"

Since I didn't respond,

because, you know, I was, in fact cleaning,

she came over 

and told me to go check my phone.

;-)

So,

Tyler gave me 3 hours off,

and I went hiking with Penny

in the glorious sunshine.
