What a Weekend!

This past weekend has been amazing!  My family joined my parents at their cabin in the Allegheny National Forest late Thursday night.  In the past five days I:

  • Visited the newly restored remains of the Kinzua Viaduct
  • Hiked through the inside of a glacier rock
  • Fished on the bank of a quiet stream
  • Rode in a horsedrawn wagon
  • Saw majestic elk peacefully grazing in a mountain meadow
  • Found fiddleheads in the woods (didn't eat any though)
  • Watched a black bear from the safety of the car
  • Enjoyed amazing fresh salads with all of those crop share veggies.
Before my peaceful retreat, however, I accomplished much at home.  Including:
  • Sun-dryed crisp new sundresses
  • Planted flowers (and praying that it would rain while we were gone!)
  • Bought a bale of straw for compost and garden (Have you ever seen a woman pull up to her subrurban home and pull a bale of straw and some peat moss from her mini-van.  Amusing I'm sure.)
  • Researched and planned planting methods for my garden. 




Now I'm back.  I'm refreshed and energized, and that's good because there is lots to do.
