Interlude

I have a little slice of time a couple of days a week after I drop everyone off at school that is usually

spent procrastinating on the internet doing laundry & dishes. 

Yesterday I decided to ignore my chores and treat myself to a hike all alone to the top of the world. 

There was not a soul in sight the entire time. 

At the top of the peak, cliff swallows were flying so close that I could hear the beat of their wings. 

A hawk flew a couple of feet overhead and I heard what I think was a deer rustling up the side of the trail. 

{ at least I hope it was a deer because it sounded big } 

It. was. glorious. 

This may be habit forming.
