Blue Hole “Part One” “In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.” John Muir This is the “Main Fall” at Blue Hole It’s not entirely about the “WoW” factor for me…….on a scale from one to ten……I don’t care…..It’s more than just the actual sight that I am focused on when […]

“Tree Hugger”Kimya Dawson & Antsy Pants*From the Juno CD, I’m all about it right now! I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in. ~George Washington Carver These were the most charming steps I have encountered thus far in […]

“I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.” ~ John Burroughs *Good new: Cody went to work today after about 3 weeks of not being on the job. I’m going to miss my stay-at-home boyfriend! Today, as well as the next week will serve as somewhat […]
