I only went out for a walk, and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.

I care to live only to entice people to look at Nature’s loveliness. Heaven knows that John the Baptist was not more eager to get all his fellow sinners into the Jordan than I to baptize all of mine in the beauty of God’s mountains.

Father’s Day Scenic Drive

Yes, I am behind on posting.

I have spent nearly everyday doing yardwork. Pulling weeds, pruning, transplanting, removing overgrown shrubs; that sort of thing. I don’t mind. I love to be out in the garden, but I do feel as if I am very behind in other projects.

I keep reminding myself that I am retired, that there is no behind. I am not believing it yet. But I will get there.

Back to Father’s Day.

My Dad lives about an hour away. Longer if one takes the scenic route, which is my favorite way to take a road trip.

Flowery Trail Road - Chewelah

Hubby and I chose to drive Flowery Trail Road. This scenic road will take you to 49 Degrees North Ski Resort (and here), as well as the back way to my Dad’s.
