"Excuse Me While I Kiss the Sky"

4/21/2014

Thanks to Jimi Hendrix for our title for today's post. I thought it fitting for the amazing sky we enjoyed yesterday.

Easter Sunday turned out to be phenomenal. Chris and I went for a walk around the neighborhood and soaked up some rays. We seem to be seeing a lot more of the sun this year. I hope it is a trend that continues. After last year's rainy season, we need a drier season. Yesterday's high was 53º with a low of 32º. The weather guys are calling for warmer weather over the next few days. I would dare to guess we might see some buds on our trees. As you can tell from the picture, things are still a little brown on the mountain. I am ready for some color to set off those gorgeous blue skies. Once again, it is going to be a lovely day for a hike up. We hope to see you on the top.

My daughter, Kailyn, is headed up there today on the Trillium Trail. She is hoping to see Llamas. Thankful the weather is going to be good.

My husband and I hiked up the Trillium Gap Trail on the 21st for our 2nd wedding anniversary. It was our second time up to the lodge (hopefully we'll get to stay the night sometime). We couldn't have asked for more gorgeous weather and seeing the llamas on their trek down was an added bonus! Looking forward to our next hike up on a different trail. Happy Anniversary to the other couples celebrating as well!!
