Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.

I love having more time to time in my schedule to take some long, leisurely hikes with my hiking buddy!

The weather was beautiful today! A flawless blue sky and warm sunshine.

Some see weeds, I see beautiful wildflowers!

Brodie and I tackled more than 6 miles today, and we're off again on another hike tomorrow. After all, as Thoreau so eloquently put it, "An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day."
