Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home.

Yesterday, the weather forecasted snow beginning early in the morning. As soon as I woke up, I jumped out of bed to look out the window. No snow and it was dry and sunny most of the day. Although, I'm looking forward to the first snow, I was glad for the sunshine:)

We missed our long hike over the weekend because of heavy rain, so I was glad to get our short hike in yesterday. The air is starting to bite now. How I've missed that feeling!

My husband is barely visible in the second photo as he was further up the trail patiently waiting for me as I took this selfie.

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

I love your second quote!! I've just thought today that I need to get out more again, and not make any lame excuses. I used to do it a lot, but life has gotten busy this past year..

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely!
