invasive species on one side
and the part of new york

YAY!!! very very good news.
ReplyDeleteYipee!
ReplyDeleteI like this post, honest and uplifting
ReplyDeleteYAY, INDEED! and the mountains were amazing in the cerulean.
ReplyDeletewonderful mountains! wonderful news (and booky/mappy thingy)
ReplyDeleteLovely images, glad the finger is mending, what will you do with the map?
ReplyDeletegreat news! you didn't put an X on the map for people like me. I love maps, I "papered" my living/dining room wall with marine charts - my kids show their kids where we sailed, where they caught fish and where I fell in.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery! Glad your finger is strong and well.
ReplyDeleteat last, it's been a while. now perhaps to train it back to full strength.
ReplyDeleteronnie and h.t.the map is spiffy. small and solid, it wants to fold back into itself.
ReplyDeletejean, what is it about maps? i have a shoebox of retired air maps/charts that are lovely. thankfully i didn't fall in (out?) on them. canton is my address, but the word canton is actually on my location.
robyn, kaite, YAY. the doc was pleased and told me to stop being so moderate.
Totally happy for you with that news V - and a great day all round by the sounds (and sights). Magic mountains and magic maps...
ReplyDeleteV- always good to get confirmation that our bits are working OK again - hope your tendons get stronger and full of healing vigour. Though I am not a paper person I and always intrigued by those intricately folded map things - so much info in such a small package. Go well. B
ReplyDeletefiona and barry, these mountains hold their secrets, you have to walk deep...and there was snow on the slides...this map is so springy and strong, i think it has to do with the paper grain, the card stock covers (and their curved edges)...
