A Sunday Well Spent



Ah, it's that lovely time of year, when it's still summer out there but you can tell it's winding down. I'm sitting by the back door listening to the late-summer crickets - such loud chirping, you know they're all grown and soon fall will be here. Of course, it's still pretty dang hot out, so we decided to spend our afternoon up Big Cottonwood Canyon at Silver Lake. Many other people had the same idea we did, but it was still a very nice afternoon, perfected only by the fact that our friends joined us and Bitty didn't fall asleep either on the way up or the way back. Magic, I tell you. In this case, pictures definitely speak louder than words, so here you go.

Silver Lake is my kind of hike, because it isn't a hike at all. A nice, leisurely walk in the mountains. Perfection. :)

Love the new blog look, btw.

Yes, GHD, we actually did wave hello to the cabin for you! We wondered how long it had been since you had been for a visit.

Being in the mountains on a hot day is absolute perfection. Love the new blog layout. Good job!

We were up there, too, from about 1:00 - 3:00! I'm sad we didn't run into each other! That love of Brighton must run in our blood!
