    Why and How I Started Backyard Composting

    July 29, 2020 /

    Thanks to COVID and quarantine my days and weeks and months have somewhat started to blend, so I can't, off the top of my head, tell you when I started composting, it was sometime between March and May, but I can tell you how and why. The idea of composting in my backyard started small and slow, and then out of nowhere blew itself up into existence.

    Gould Mesa Road: Angeles Crest Hwy to Paul Little Picnic Site

    July 20, 2020 /

    According to my AllTrails recording this hike was 6 miles round trip and took us a total of 2 hours and 45 minutes, including our short break at the end waterfall. It was a weekday morning that we went and we did encounter a few hikers throughout the trail, but I wouldn't call it busy and for the most part people were polite and did have their masks on them.

    I Finally Made it to Joshua Tree

    July 8, 2020 /

    Joshua Tree was one of my dad's favorite places, right along with the High Sierra and the Grand Teton. I grew up hearing him talk about this strange land in the desert, but despite it being only about two hours away from where I grew up I never had the pleasure of experiencing it with him.

Because unless you believe that the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for making it so." - Noam Chomsky

With the expectations of social media, she doesn't get featured as much as she should, but long conversations and stinky cuddles will always be the favorite parts of my day 🐾

Then during COVID I finally had my chance to visit and I've gone twice over the last 2 years. From the minute I stepped foot in that magical desert I was in love. It was everything I dreamt of and more. During our first visit my husband and I explored all the different campgrounds and I knew I had to come sleep under the stars here. It took two years, but our trip is finally set and I can't wait!
