My, oh my, it has been a while. We have moved to a new home since January, so packing and unpacking are bizarrely still part of our lives as we settle in. I have made some friends through church and storytime and babywearing. I think the meet new people goal is going along quite well, and much better than I expected.
Birds! I am not doing so well with this, so maybe I can make some time in the remaining year to go out birding for a bit.
Hiking, however, is going fairly well. I honestly had forgotten about this goal. In February, we went to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum and walked the main trail (1.5) and we returned in May. At that time, I walked about .5 of the main trail and other garden trails. In August, we traveled to Show Low and walked about .25 of a trail to an overlook of the Mogollon Rim and then went to Petrified Forest N.P. and hiked about a mile while there. There may be a few jaunts I can’t recall, where we might have picked up a quarter mile or so, but I will not worry too much over them. That leaves me with 8.5 to go this year.
