Into the North Hills
2011, April 23rd

Edited from my journal, page 2652: "It's the 24th, but let me tell you about yesterday... it was sunny and I went for a walk inthe North Hills ...almost hit 50.

My notes: spiders, ants, balsamroot beginnings its bouquet of blooms, dry dirt. In Froehlich's copse: robins and fresh holes of small animals. On the slopes a dark-haired lady - young - 40s? (and chatting with her once more by the yellowbells on her way down). Biscuitroots, an attack puppy, split rock (grey lichen on orange), deer scat. In a gully: lamb's ears, animal trails crossing, a sheep pen. Coming up the powerline path to Mt. View Trail, turning right (south-east), pink phlox, resting by the peace stones, a small prop plane coming out of the canyon flying west.
