Hi. I’m alive! I’ve been busy the past week relaxing. Darn, I’m caught! I have a good reason, I’ve been enjoying this fall weather and I hope you have too!
Also, I have a little reminder. Today is the last day for the pillow giveaway. See you Monday for the results.
Enjoy your weekend!
Aren’t the wild flowers just beautiful? My other half, Andrew and I spent a recent spring afternoon at my grandparents secluded haven.
This is the amazing view they have! The beautiful ranch is where I grew up, and a place I will inherit. Its just about the perfect place to have a family.
At the tree line there is a small stream, and just beyond that is the South Fork of the American River, with world renown rapids.
The trail down to the river is about 1 mile, once you see this view at the top if the trail its worth the trek. Driving is also an option, however it was one beautiful spring day! 
After a hike back up the trail, I was ready to kick my feet up! It had been a long time since I’ve visited the river on foot.
But you know grandparents, and there they were at the door welcoming us once again with cold water and a bowl of ice cream.
We had our first spring heat wave, and the city was entirely too warm so we headed east! I’m probably being a little dramatic about the weather, but Andrew and I couldn’t let a beautiful day in the mountains go to waste. (Plus the rain is already back again.)
The snow is beautiful, but I’m ready for the warm summer sunshine. Check back soon because I’m taking a trip home to my roots…the country!
