Corvus Plays With Pinecones

As I sort through the couple hundred pictures I took in Savannah and Sapelo, I figured I’d throw out a video I took in my parents’ back yard since it’s been a while!  I don’t know why I buy my dogs toys.  They would much rather play with logs or, as you can see, pine cones.

Flowers!

In an attempt to usher in spring and as a follow-up to my last post, I will start posting some of my numerous flower pictures.  Between trips with Erika to Longwood Gardens , walks at the Arboretum , and other random pictures from the game lands, Savannah, etc. I have a TON of flower pictures.  We'll get started in a sec. I've taken this week off from running.  For some reason these last two or so weeks my body has been completely rebelling against everything-extreme fatigue, aching everywhere.  I try to run, work out, and can't make my body do what I want it to.  Such a frustrating feeling.  A full blood panel shows only that my thyroid is hypo again.  Okay, fine, but that isn't the cause of this.  I think I've physically caught up with where I am emotionally.  So hopefully a week off will help and then starting again slowly.  Sigh. I'm eager to get started again as I keep getting recruited by the Nittany Valley Hash House Harriers....

Sapelo Island, Part I

     I have been here before,           But when or how I cannot tell:      I know the grass beyond the door,           The sweet keen smell, The sighing sound, the lights around the shore. ~ Sudden Light, Dante Gabriel Rosetti I don’t know what it is about the Georgia coast that lures me in.  I have no childhood attachment.  I’ve visited other beaches and coastlines in various locations with no connection.  But there is something about this place that is peaceful, comfortable, familiar…  I’ve never been to Sapelo Island before.  Our visits typically include Savannah and some time on Tybee, the neighboring barrier island.  In the spirit of something different, we chose to visit Sapelo this year.  Sapelo is a small barrier island owned almost entirely by the state of Georgia and accessible only by ferry....

April Snows Bring May...?

Image
So I've been anxiously waiting for winter to end and, despite having a few teasers, summer just can't seem to get a foothold here in central Pennsylvania.  Annoying for a cold-natured southern girl like me.  At least, as of May 1, it isn't snowing.  Chilly and rainy, yes.  Snowing, no. That was NOT the case less than a month ago when I kicked off my trail running season at my usual inaugural race, The Dirty Kiln.  Or, as they were calling it this year, The Snowy Kiln.  Fortunately, we didn't get as much snow as predicted and the temps were a bit higher than expected.  They took out the water crossings due to the below freezing temperatures, which was disappointing.  But I'm glad they did.  I got some extra warm running gear and enjoyed a nice 5.5 miles in the snowy woods.  I performed much better than expected too, which is always a bonus. One thing is clear, I need to work on my running faces!  I never think about the ...
