Photos of the Week

The upside of moving a lot is that you always have new places to explore and discover!

The downside is all the hassle of moving so we're staying put for a long long time.  We'll explore everything around us and I think that will take many years.  A short 20 minute drive from our desert-y home took us to lush green alfalfa fields and large leafy trees.  We don't see so much of that in our neighborhood so it was fun to be surrounded by green!

Every once in a while, I'm blessed with good health, and when that happens, we take advantage.  We've learned to steal what happiness we can while we can.  Last week was one of those weeks and it was amazing.  It was a gift and a miracle.  I hiked miles and miles.  I climbed up rocks and down into caves with my little family........ all without getting a migraine (that's the miracle part)! It makes me so happy I could cry!

This is a small part of what we saw last week:

The hoodoos and caves of Goblin Valley

the Goblin's Lair (by far my favorite part)

pretty desert flowers,

The luminous rock walls of Captiol Reef,

and Hickman Bridge (also Capitol Reef)

I didn't used to like Utah all that much.  But seriously!  I didn't know what I was missing! It has grown on me.  Yes, it's brown, but the desert is amazing.  The rocks in this state are incredible!

What adventures have you been on lately?

Photos of the Week

These are the hills by my house.  Most of the time I've lived here, they have been brown.  But, if you catch them in the right light with the right clouds after a good rain, they can be full of color and beauty!

I'm so glad for spring and all the good things it brings:  green things, dramatic rain clouds, clear air, and most of all hope.
