Enjoying Yosemite for a weekend makes me want to spend a whole lot more time there. Still, a weekend is more than most people get … right?

I am loving the rain. I have always loved rain, but after too many drought years I love it even more, if that’s possible.
But we don’t get snow here. A snowy day or two would be rather fun. We have to drive for those. This is from Yosemite.
Snow & Branches, 12.31.15
We are now enjoying a rainy day here in my neighborhood. It’s quite welcome, having lived in drought conditions for so very long. I am always grateful for rain, as I am a real rain lover, but at this point I think the entire state is grateful!
Still, I dream of going to this lovely spot again …
While we are on this dusty planet it seems to me we should be good caretakers. It’s not all about us. It’s about our children, our grandchildren … and about doing what is right and good. I not only pray for rain — something beyond our control — but pray for good stewardship. I pray we stop doing damage. I pray we find ways to undo the damage we have already done.
Yes. It’s National Earth Day. I’d prefer, though, that we keep caring for our one and only place to live every day. It just seems like good and right.
And now I think I need a walk. Here’s just a small bit of Yosemite National Park … not one of the icons, but just something that I like.
