Along with my ode to Edward Abbey’s Desert Solitaire, I wanted to take on a more family/kid centric subject this Friday– camping with your progeny. I also have a Mom’s Guide to Moab that you don’t want to miss!
I want you to know that this was maybe two minutes after setting up camp, and quite possibly the LAST time these two little adventure lovers sat down for the rest of the trip. Well, maybe for a quick bite to eat. We have some high energy gentlemen! Read more!>
Today we’ve got some baking goodness going on over here. Coconut Granola, friends! It is just. so. good!
There are several things I love about this post. First is the outfit, but we’ll get to that in just a minute. Second, the other elements that make me laugh are just cornball silliness– RANDOM– Ta-DA! poses, serious pursed lips, and a shot featuring me and a bird feeder.
Come clean, what landscape do you love?Have you ever gone somewhere, and upon departure, realized that you were leaving cleaner than when you came? Have you ever felt like you had your soul scoured out by sun and wind? That the elements were stripping you of your pre-disposed human-ness?
That you were honestly communing with the Divine? An encompasingly holy, sacred, cathedral of place? Have you ever discovered the raw, barren, lonely alive all around you? Have you ever seen a landscape, and upon return, realized that you were seeing it again for the first time?
