Summit of Mt. Willard: Crawford Notch
The backpack sits on my shoulders and hips
A welcome relief
A warm hug from an old friend
I smile
A new climb commenced
Early April-a snow packed path
Standing in contrast to the hoar frost
of October’s last pass
The rise is not steep
Yet our hearts burst with exertion
Our skin glistens
Our hams beg us to listen
222 steps to the summit
Spike rimmed boots keep us from slipping
The view is grand and glorious
We bask in Mother Sun’s heat
Day 4. My fiance’ and I spent Good Friday hiking. A wonderful start to the spring season!
Building A Life Of Hope 
Lovely, Kim! I’m jealous, I want to go on a hike where “The view is grand and glorious”!
I’m taking it all in before I move to a new climate and new terrain in late June.
Tomorrow another one with my sons!
Ah, well enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
