Traveling is difficult, and it about broke my heart to leave Three Rivers while it was still green and full of flowers. The logistics of a trip can cause one to wonder if it is worth the effort. It was. I first spent time in a suburb north of Fort Worth with a dear friend […]
While in Texas…
Yeppers, still here in the Lone Star State. It’s a bit late for the bluebonnets, we’re having lots of rain, there are fabulous other wildflowers, and I am learning much. Here are a few teaser photos.
Another Winter Walk in Three Rivers
I love February in Three Rivers, so I walked a route that I haven’t walked in a long time, wanting to test my foot and my ability to endure discomfort. There were plenty of things to distract me, such as stealing a tangerine, dodging traffic, and taking photos. I take the same photos over and […]
A Winter Walk in Three Rivers
What passes for winter in Three Rivers usually involves sunshine and green hills. Do those folks down the hill know that the fog and gray usually ends at Terminus Dam (Lake Kaweah)? I walked a new route yesterday. It’s been awhile since I went that way, back before peripheral neuropathy when I could actually walk […]
Two Outings
In 2023, I participated in exactly one art boutique/fair/bazaar. ONE. It was in Exeter on a Saturday at the history museum/art gallery, CACHE. This was the inaugural event, the reviews are mixed, and I am guessing it won’t become an annual event. However, I had a good day! One painting sold (Citrus Row) and many […]
A Pleasant Walk Through Exeter
A week or two ago, I had some time to kill in Exeter. (That is an unpleasant metaphor—forgive me!) So, I went for a walk. We think we know a place because we drive through it, but walking is the best way to really take in our surroundings. It’s also a good way to find […]
Lake Kaweah—Weirdly Fascinating
Trail Guy and I like to explore the bottom of Lake Kaweah when the water is low. It’s a good place to ride bikes, ride horses, walk, or walk dogs, not pretty like the BLM land above our house, but spacious and easy to get to. It changes each season, depending on water flow, rain, […]
Back to Giant Forest or Too Many People
I went to Sequoia National Park twice in October because this place attracts people from all over the world, and it is ONLY ONE HOUR FROM THREE RIVERS!! I don’t go very often because we go to Mineral King, another fabulous part of Sequoia. But when Mineral King isn’t accessible, why not go to the […]
When I Get Older. . .
“. . .Will you still need me, Will you still read me, When I’m sixty-four?” Because I am now. Neither Trail Guy nor I had been to the main part of Sequoia National Park since before the fires (2020, 2021) and flood (2022-2023). I love to climb Moro Rock, so that is how I chose […]
