So February is here… along with perfect summer evenings…
And on our first real hike of the year… I managed to take a tumble and break my arm, somehow I hiked out, and a best friend got us home. Needless to say my gang will have to rally round and do every single possible chore. And of course everyone knows how good I am at sitting still (galactic not). Don’t even ask how long it takes to put a blog post together when typing with one hand. Blogging is once again going to be slow!!
