Pretty full day. Lou abd Kathuy took off this morning (wait.. did I even mentione that they’d been staying with us for the last three days ? )
Diane and I did a hike up from Bolton Nothch road to the long trail, then buswhacked to the abandoned Stinson air tower. We both climbed pretty high.. but not all the way. Good wenough to get the view !
We took a second walk midday to the river shore.. and ran into our friend and neighbor Barb and Rowdy
Then we went back home and remembered that our Neighbors grandaughter Angel
s baby shower was today in northern new york.. We decided to go !.. It waas a scenic hours drive each way..
gald we went.
Tried again for northern lights, not much.. but I think I see some red in one of those
We cant get enough of outside this time of year. Today Diena, Lou and I did one of our favorite super local hikes.. Up catamount trail and down honey hollow road.. It’s abotu 6 miles.. 3 miles up hill, 3 miles downhill.
this eving we all convereged again dfor Red Hot Juba playing at the Stone Coral. The lead singe Eric was all of our boys English teach in high school !
I stayed up late last night and tried again to see northern lights.. not sure if this counts.. but I do see a litttle color.. THe bright moon was beutiful, but not very helpful for start gazing
I dont generally work Fridays.. but today I did to catch up from soem of the travel. Work is really fun right now.. Very exciting stuff is happening !
After work our friends Lou, Kathy, George , Jane and their dogs all met up at Libby’s look for a fall hike. The leaves are in full color now and there’s no better thing to do than to hike !
Then home for a really nice laid back meal together.. Feuturing Dianes first attempt at replicating the Basque cheesecake we came to love on our trip to Spain
TOday is Rosh Hashanah, the begingin of the Jewish new year. I used to spend the day in Shul.. but that doesnt call to me anymore. Instead Diane a. our friend Mel and I climbed Camels hump (again) in the early morning to greet the day
On the way to work this am.. I saw this. Wiggly armed Kamala Harris ins oemone s yard.. Gave me hop (rememebr I’m writing this in November.. so I knwo the outcome.. but it doesnt keep me from remembering the joy of being hopeful)
Late tonight I went outside to see if I could find any northern lights.. there’s high activity now.. No luck
Still hopeful….No light in the sky tonight. As we all ned to be the light
