Keeping it Light

The aftermath of the earthquakes in Haiti has emotionally drained me, which in turn led to a Saturday full of less than thrilling fights with my dearest husband. Of course, the impending arrival of a certain time of month didn't really help much. As a result, I've decided to focus all my energy and effort on things other than Haiti, but still do the projects I've discussed previously. With that in mind, let's turn to recent adventures:

Today we found two amazing parks within 30 minutes drive of the house. Granted, the weather didn't encourage a long foray into the mountains, and our unruly puppy also made things difficult. We did, however, go on a short and incredible hike up the side of a mountain. The vista of the intercontinental divide was breathtaking, and jagged peaks were bordered by an ice-covered creek. In some places, the surface of the creek was as smooth as glass. We've agreed to go back frequently, and enjoy the beautiful land that surrounds us.
