THINGS I’VE SEEN RECENTLY:

-morning light coming through the rain soaked tent walls
-the shadows of the rain drops joining together in race down the rain fly
-the mountains making their own weather
-Jerry coming off the AT on to the road crossing with a smile on his face
-MOOSE – a cow and her calf standing in the woods just off the road, watching us as we watched them
-Jerry eating 3 cups of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream as an appetizer
-the little spoon hidden under the lid of the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream (so cute)
-white blazes
-the clouds swallowing the tops of and sometimes the whole mountain
-an Inn Keeper who reminded me an awful lot of Bob Newhart
-a nice, warm, comfortable, dry room (with a TV and wifi-woohoo)
-Clean, dry, warm clothes
-other thru-hikers, you not only see them, you can smell them too
-mountains in every direction
-a hint of color coming to the trees- yellows, reds, oranges just starting to appear
-almost a bear, out our bathroom window- innkeeper saw it but it disappeared by the time we got there
-dunkin donuts hot chocolate
-a whole lot less traffic – weekend traffic is gone
-still drizzle coming down from the clouds
-Jerry walking off again following the blazes to ME, so excited to be so far
