boots & butterflies

saturday ceej and i went hiking with some friends.
ooh, there were swarms of butterflies!
just like a fairytale.
ceej got some great shots of the butterflies...
i wanted to share them all,
but i'll let him do that.

i've had these boots for seven years.
love them.

i've started using a trekking pole on the down-hills to save my knees. yes, i'm getting old. finally.

look at that butterfly and those pretty yellow flowers.
ceej really did get some great shots.

he's a pretty darn good guy.
feel luckier and luckier every day
that i married him.
really.

this last photo is more for me...
it reminds me that my hair is still
long
even after some lady chopped off
8 inches
when i only asked for 4 inches off.
my hair FEELS short.
but i know it's still long.
i'm growing it out again.

anyway.
the weekend was lovely:
hiking in a beautiful place.
had a painting lesson.
learned how to knit (casting, knit&pearl).

ceej and i are off to SLC in an hour or so.
can't wait to see family and friends.
