Yesterday, an awe-inspiring hike to Lake 22 near Granite Falls in the central Cascades.  I am so grateful to be living in a part of the country with so many natural areas to explore. 

Today I managed a styrofoam recycling event.  The people in my neighborhood filled twelve HUGE plastic bags with styrofoam.  (These are big bags -- probably four people could fit inside them.)  While I am very grateful to be part of an activity that keeps styrofoam out of the landfill, I look forward to the day when these collection events are no longer necessary.

Both yesterday and today I fulfilled my pledge to take a walk, combining each walk with errands in the neighborhood.  I hope to get to the point where my first instinct is to walk wherever I go within a mile or two.
