Been feeling really good recently. Enjoying socializing - both out and at home - lots. Also balancing getting settled in here at Hive Magnum w/spending time out in Nature. Day before yesterday, I took a friend for a fine music and laughter and conversation-filled Toad Rip to Breitenbush. We got to soak lots - mostly having the pools all to ourselves, enjoyed a lovely picnic along the river (before the rain began), and took in a good labyrinth walk.

Today's a mostly stay-at-home taking care of things 'n' stuff kinda day. The sun's shining brightly. Chicken stock's cooking - and making the whole place smell fab. Lotsa laundry's cycling through. I've unpacked s'more boxes and put things away. Managed to find some stuff I'd feared lost, but 'twas merely misplaced (as happens more often than not ;-)

Will hit Common Grounds Wellness for more soaking w/Lisa &

jaylake this afternoon, after they introduce me to a new (to me) BBQ spot. Hmm, I did water aerobics w/another friend yesterday. Apparently water's figuring heavily into my life these days. Perhaps that water labyrinth tattoo needs to rise ever higher on my list of priorities.

Current Mood: pleased

We3 (

lightfoote,

wildwoosi & I) celebrated our 2nd anniversary this past weekend by soaking in hot springs, hiking where we each chose, sharing time & meals & talks & fab weather &&& together at Breitenbush. After hiking & soaking on Saturday, whilst

lightfoote was still off on his LONG Devil's Peak hike,

wildwoosi took advantage of the free massage (Oregon School of Massage needed volunteers), and I had a good labyrinth walk. There's more to say, but I'll let my pics do the rest of the talking for now: CLICKIE FOR PICKIES.

Many thx to

blot &c. for looking after the llamas &c. up at CopperMoon so we3 could share this time together!

EDIT: And here're some fab pics by

wildwoosi from this past weekend!
