Full Moon November 28

It's time again for another full moon tomorrow.  I have not decided if I'm night hiking or not.  I'm pretty tired from Oregon.  I'm still playing it by ear for now...

Oregon

We are back from Oregon and I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving holiday.  We did not test out our gear in the rain because, well, I didn't feel like it!  I decided to eat my face off and sit on the couch the whole time instead.  It was a good visit with the family. 

Poetry Break

Daffodils

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

~William Wordsworth
