May 8th
Here are some happy things from today:
- Tomorrow, Friday, is when I was hoping to leave and get back onto a trail. I've packed almost everything I need. The only thing that has made it into my car so far are the trekking poles. I really didn't want to forget those twice. ๐
- As far as my stuff is concerned, I'm mostly ready. The funny thing is that I still don't know where I am going to start. My family seems a little concerned that I don't have an itinerary. There are places I want to hike and I've taken many notes. They will get an itinerary tomorrow and I will stay in touch. I have a Garmin Mini 2 that should be able to send messages even when I don't have cellphone service. I'm not just going to write a note like Grandma Gatewood and disappear. ๐
- It is spring and I will get to see some lovely plant life on the trail. At home, there are things getting ready to bloom that I will miss.

This is the only peony that came up this year. I hope someone sends me a picture when it blooms. |

The tulips have been around. The different varieties bloom at slightly different times. I really like the variegated ones. |

Thank you for being here and being part of my daily happy things. Stay safe!
