Cold Bones

Since our last climbing trip, I have been very impatient to get outdoors again. At the end of February we'll be heading down to Smith Rock for a weekend outing with a few friends. The problem is the weather has been very cold. Some mornings have been in the low teens, and the day doesn't warm up until after noon. Hopefully by the last weekend of the month it will have warmed up enough to climb all day. I think after Joshua Tree, I'll be able to handle the cold nights. This time I have my ultra warm jacket, and I'll make sure Sara has our third sleeping bag to double up in case she gets cold at night.

I think this year, we are going to be weekend warriors. It won't be every weekend, but I think any weekend that isn't wet, we are going to be someplace that warm and has stone to climb on.

This spring and summer I'm going to spend as much time cleaning up my yard too. It has been a number of years since we have taken care of our yard. We've done a few improvements -- new windows, doors, but now I'd like to make a garden and work on some of my projects.

So not much has been going on. Sara and I have basically been lazy. We did have a nice visit with my Dad last weekend. Hana got to swim and play on the beach and took several days to recover. Her tail didn't have a full wag until Tuesday.

Okay, that is enough of my random ramblings.
