I was driving to work this morning and I remembered: I LOVE outside. It was a beautiful morning, warm, sunny, everything was green and glowing from the early sun. I loved it. Being outside (especially in the summer time) is like medicine for my psyche. I love it. It makes me want to quit my job, pack up Charlie, and go play in a field all day.
A few Sundays ago Bradford and I drove up Butterfield Canyon. He had run up it the previous day with his brother and thought it was a really pretty area and wanted to take me up to see it too. It was a beautiful drive. And I am so glad that Bradford didn’t expect me to run up it also.
At the top of the mountain you can over look a few of the counties as well as get a pretty neat view inside the Bingham Copper Mine.
There is a little bit of a hippie in me. It surfaces in a few areas of my life and being outside is definitely one of those. I very much believe that there is a connection between nature and our souls. Maybe it’s the trace amount of American Indian in my blood?
It probably has something (or everything) to do with sensing the majesty of all the beauty around me, in the trees, the sky, the landscapes… it makes me feel like I must be pretty amazing too, seeing how I was created by the same hands that made all this. Not often enough do I remember that.

Mmmm...She is my home-girl too. I love it! I think I will be communing with nature a lot in the next month so I'll be pretty prepared by the time I get back to do some hiking or something. Eh? What do you say??
Kimberly - you can come camping with us tomorrow :D Oh wait, you're going to eat giant spiders. I guess that's fun too.
"it makes me feel like I must be pretty amazing too, seeing how I was created by the same hands that made all this. Not often enough do I remember that." <<< THIS. This is perfect.
