me and my JAM

hiked up Arabia mountain this morning, picked some flowers, and journaled on a giant rock

I’m pushing past my arthritis and getting back outside, trying to move to an 8 mile hike next time. I finished a 7 mile hike a while back and my legs had a really difficult time pushing on after mile 5. I’m feeling accomplished considering I got to 5 and felt pretty ok about it, the massive incline I chose to take was exhausting - many pep talks were had. I want to get up to 10 by the end of October, 12 by November, and hike the beginning of the Appalachian trail during the cold December mornings. The head of the AT is at the entrance of Amicalola and she’s a beauty!

It’s my birthday - everybody make some noise

Which leads us to, if four year olds can understand the concept of littering, why can’t most human beings? Thankfully, we were able to scrap and clean some of the items to use as loose parts and open ended materials.* everything pictured was found by our students within a span of 20 minutes on the trail. More not pictured because of 20mph winds *

went on a 7 mile hike with bunny and bought a cowgirl necklace from the antique store
