#Today 25
Good day!
We seem to be settling into a seasonal weather pattern, which is far better than the epic heat we’ve suffered the last few years.
I don’t fear August heat here like I do July heat. The days are shorter. It takes until afternoon to heat up.
Be everwell.
#Today 24
Good day!
All of nature is magical, but often I find those special places many overlook.
• The castle ruins on the mountaintop.
• The secret door in the tree.
• The clearing in the forest where magic still lingers.
• The gold that grows where the magic is strongest.
Be everwell.

Good day!
A view from early in my last hike, about the time the drizzle stopped.
I’d ignored the weather forecast because the temperature was ideal, upper 60s (+19C). It stayed that cool, too.
Yet, even after my big day, I returned home & finished editing a chapter.
Be everwell.
This little bun is being a brave patient today! 
Just like cats and dogs, rabbits need regular vet care too including vaccinations, deworming, and supplements. Preventative care can protect them from deadly diseases like Myxomatosis and Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease (RHD). 
Has your bunny had their check-up yet? A few small steps can mean a longer, healthier life for your hoppy friend!

#Today 22.2
Good day!
Okay, here’s the complete experience. Even when the stream was far below me, it was still loud.
This video shows you why.
This was one of those hikes where it’s impossible to see everything.
The Bitterroot Mountains never, ever disappoint. I also didn’t see anyone until on the way back.
Be everwell.
#Today 22.1
Good day!
What was really strange while hiking was how often I had really tiny streams running along the side of the old forest road on the opposite side from the larger stream.
Water stereo.
Eventually, each little stream would cross the road to join the larger one.
What a joy.
Be everwell.
#Today 22
Good day!
It drizzled on me to start yesterday. I paralleled this creek & listened to it all the way to my destination.
It was quite a hardship. 
Thanks to the canyon’s echo, the sound never faded completely.
I’ll always remember this as the hike when I finally mastered trekking poles. It helped.
Be everwell.

Good day!
The expected high today is 71F (21.6C) with clouds & possible drizzle.
Perfect.
I’m going hiking, & not just anywhere. I’m heading to the Bitterroot Mtns. I’ve been a good editing girl. I deserve it.
My mental health demands it.
I can’t wait to leave.
Be everwell.
The bottom of the garden. Confusingly, the garden slopes *up* towards the bottom.
Bottom left the pond. The brick construction on the right is what we call the folly. Bees, other insects, birds and pond dwelling individuals love it. So do I.
Planted to feel and look natural, wild, full and overflowing. Weeds a.k.a. wildflowers are welcome.
This Easy Greek Salad Recipe makes the perfect accompaniment to almost any meal, especially a Greek feast. For some inspiration, check out my Dolmades or the Smoky Bean Stew Recipe. The salad is easy to make, and it's incredibly fresh and crunchy! #cookingwithmarchi #greeksalad #vegansalad #glutenfree #veganfeta #tomato #cucumber #kalamataolives #plantbased #veganrecipe #plantbasedrecipe #healthyliving #healthyeating #veganfood #mediterraneanfood #greekfood

Nature’s bounty,
often called public lands,
parks and places
where you can find your soul,
a refuge where troubles are dismissed.
Wild blessings,
for one and all,
but when they’re gone
they’re in greed’s clutches,
our public birthright traded for a song.
Be everwell.
#Today 19
Good day!
I’ve been reveling in the “cool” summer we’ve had here (so far).
Truth is, it isn’t unusually cool. This is normal. We’ve had unusually hot summers for years. Spring was unusually warm.
The drought remains. It rains, but it’s brief, & usually it’s drizzle.
Be everwell.
#Today 18
Good day!
It’s difficult to get up in the morning when it’s been so cool at night, a fact Evie Cat knows well.
She’s still in bed sleeping. 
It’s time. I need it. I’ve been a good editing girl. Barring catastrophe, I’m heading to the Bitterroot Mtns next week.
Be everwell.

#Today 17
Good day!
*Full disclosure. Yes, I did bend this tree before I took the picture.
Okay, maybe not.
I survived my doc appt, & remain alive & human, despite what some may believe.
In truth, for my age (66), I’m astoundingly healthy. So much of that is hiking.
Be everwell.
#Today 16
Good day!
I went on a 7-mile (11K) photography jaunt yesterday, taking the Milwaukee Trail to the university campus. I needed to clear my head.
Here are the less abstract images.
This morning, I have a worthless Medicare appointment early. I need to walk right away.
Be everwell.
