flosey

flosey

so much for sleep, perhaps find a few more words until I get sleepy again

3:13 am

rubyfoo

Bonjour.

3:14 am

rubyfoo

lt's yet ANOTHER May Holiday, but my new gardeners arrived at 8 andmy watchdog, Rufie went crazy

3:15 am

rubyfoo

At least l know l'm well-protected!

3:20 am

flosey

Rufie sounds like a real gem

3:26 am

rubyfoo

He's wonderful. He's never bitten anyone, but l think he would if l was threatened.

3:27 am

rubyfoo

And he looks very scary which is, in itself, a good deterrent

3:29 am

flosey

yes, that will usually deter someone with the wrong intentions

3:31 am

rubyfoo

He's never been trained, but his instincts are perfect and both dogs never do anything bad

3:31 am

rubyfoo

etia

3:32 am

rubyfoo

sorry, no more "talking" for me

3:33 am

hi there Ruby, what on earth has wakened me at 3:30 am!! however, I came back in and finished this grid

6:07 am

rubyfoo

Does anybody know the flower syringa? Mine just opened and the scent is heavenly!

6:24 am

Uneaixoise

it's a lilac :-)

6:48 am

MollyL

I love the smell of lilac

6:58 am

bichon

Me too. Too bads the lilacs have faded

8:16 am

car.eeyore

Good morning everyone

8:22 am

NatashaW

good morning car

8:23 am

NatashaW

my lilacs faded away 2 weeks ago... but now I have my kolkwitzia (beauty bush) in full glory, and a perfect day on which to enjoy it after over a week of rain

8:45 am

MLFAN17

disappointed I am out of here poof

8:46 am

Scrabbler

Anyone still here?

8:46 am

Shirlockc

*waves*

8:46 am

origami

Hi scrabs - just got here

8:46 am

Scrabbler

*waving back* Hi Origami and Shirlock.

8:47 am

NatashaW

Hi Scrabs, recovered from your hike?

8:48 am

Scrabbler

Still exhausted, but elated and high and my head remains on the AT. :-)

8:48 am

NatashaW

wow... nice.

8:49 am

NatashaW

"Forest bathing" taken to its highest level

8:49 am

origami

How many miles did you hike?

8:49 am

Scrabbler

50 miles in 5 days, in Shenandoah National Park.

8:49 am

Shirlockc

wow, that's some hike!

8:50 am

Scrabbler

Many folks, especially the through-hikers do 20 -22 miles daily. I saw a through-hiker in Harpers Ferry, WV, where I stopped on my way home, that was planning on 43 miles that day, and it was 91 degrees.

8:51 am

NatashaW

That sounds more like running than hiking

8:52 am

Scrabbler

For those folks every minute of sunlight, and good weather, means another foot farther.

8:52 am

Shirlockc

i walk fast ~ 3 miles/hr, and i don't think i can maintain that pace for > 10 hrs

8:52 am

Scrabbler

Their pace might be 4 mph on flat terrain.

8:52 am

NatashaW

Personally I prefer to savor my surroundings not rush past them, but to each their own

8:53 am

Scrabbler

I agree, Natasha. I like to look around and to take photos.

8:54 am

NatashaW

"The journey, not the arrival, matters"

8:55 am

Scrabbler

Yes. On the flat, smooth sections I picked up the pace at times. But I love nature and am a tree geek.

8:55 am

NatashaW

Me 2, love plant taxonomy and trees in particular.

8:55 am

Shirlockc

i do that in NYC, no trees but lots of windows :)

9:01 am

Scrabbler

Natasha, mostly there were oaks and hickories, and some areas had black cherry trees. Not many conifers.

9:01 am

Scrabbler

Some shagbark hickories too.

9:02 am

NatashaW

Yes, I've hiked the Shenendoah, though only modest day hikes, nothing like what you did. My favorite place for tree-gazing so far has been the temperate rainforest in Olympic National Park in Washington State.

9:04 am

Scrabbler

My #1 love is the Adirondack Mtns and I will go there in June, July, and Oct.

9:04 am

NatashaW

I keep passing through there on the way to Montreal (my son goes to McGill)... must plan a stop one time!

9:05 am

NatashaW

Where do you go in the Adirondacks?

9:08 am

Scrabbler

This summer: Lake Placid (3 days of backpacking), Newcomb, and Minerva.

9:09 am

Scrabbler

My neighbor's kid goes to McGill. I think he just graduated.

9:09 am

NatashaW

I've been (briefly) to Lake Placid but will look up the other 2, not familiar with them.

9:10 am

NatashaW

My son started there this past year, entered as a soph due to APs, will be done in 3 deus vult

9:10 am

Scrabbler

Small towns on lakes so we leave our kayaks on the shore.

9:10 am

Scrabbler

I must get ready now. I shop for my mother on Mondays then visit her. She will be 87 in a few weeks.

9:11 am

NatashaW

Have a great day

9:12 am

Scrabbler

Natasha, I just had a Babble meetup in Leesburg, VA with some local Babblers then stayed with one on Hagerstown overnight. I see that you are in MD. When I return for more AT hiking we need to meet.

9:12 am

Scrabbler

I spent a few hours in Harpers Ferry last Tuesday.

9:14 am

NatashaW

We love Harper's Ferry - the confluence of hte rivers. Have they rebuilt the burnt area?

9:15 am

NatashaW

never mind, go shop for your mom. Look forward to meeting you one of these days!

9:15 am

Scrabbler

Hm, I don't know the burnt area. Yes, I must go.
