Canopy

A few more snaps from last weekend...

A new saying was born this trip: "We can't all be blessed with the hand we are dealt." 

We also discovered a new wildflower - monotropa uniflora, Indian Pipe (also called Corpse Plant and Ghost Flower).... Marit named it "the ghost of tulips past" before we looked it up. It doesn't produce any chlorophyll, hence the ghoulish appearance.

Mountain weekend

Here's a recipe: nine girls, two cabins, countless waterfalls, three dogs, a surprise birthday cake, a menagerie of board games, stacks of back issues of the New Yorker, and a bunch of really, really good food.

4th of July

We went back up to Hanging Rock for the 4th... lake swimming, diving board jumping, sun sitting, and another (short) hike.
