Brush Work

We are all excited and happy about El Nino--we want the rain, the snow, the cold weather that keeps that snow on the mountaintops. We want that water for summer. BUT, all those wet blessings mean no riding for us. So we did the next best thing, we walked a few of our trails.

With the extreme downfall at 10 Firs, aka The Place, we were worried about the potential downfall and getting around on our trails. However, they were not bad at all; in fact, only one tree was down and it didn't impede our regular path. Now, we only did the east side of Hennessey, so the west side might be a different story, but everything looked good. We trimmed branches and bushes that have either overgrown the trail or were ones that we always wished were gone.

It felt good to be outside and exerting our muscles a little. The dogs loved it and were running and playing on the trails. There was water running everywhere. Unspoken and aloud, both of us said prayers of gratefulness and wishes that the water would remain all year.

It was a wonderful day.
