I finally have Internet on my computer. It is dial-up, and slow, but I am still happy. I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed having the Internet until I didn’t have it anymore. I could still access stuff at work and on campus, but having it right here is nice, and I can blog some more.

Life is good. Work is challenging, Joe is amazing, and I love the lovely spring weather. It might get below freezing tonight–frost in June. Good thing I haven’t planted the garden yet. Our irrigation was delayed at the Community Garden, but with the weather we have been having, shouldn’t matter as much that we are planting so late. Although we need good weather so that they can get done with irrigation.

So Saturday, Joe and I went hiking up Willard Canyon. There are a couple of waterfall back in the canyon a ways, so we started out. We couldn’t really find a trail, but eventually found a small overran footpath paralleling the river, that was quite full. So we tramped through the bush, and got to the eroded hill of death. And instead of turning back, we decided to cross it.

I thought I might die, if I slipped down the dirt and into the raging stream. I do not like to be scared. But I made it across, about twenty feet over and 30-40 feet up. Luckily Joe was there, else I would still be there.

And we got to the top in the vegetation, and realized the trail was on the other side. There was no place to go on our side of the stream but back. So, never did get to waterfalls. Next time, we might try consulting a map.
