This is a Facebook post written by Joanna on her timeline. I wanted to have it here as well. Today is 10 years since we drove two days to Memphis to get our dog Maya. Today is one month since she died. This year her mom Callie and her uncle Carter also died, so they […]

In the late Fall and Winter, we get flood irrigation only once per month. Last time we received it, it rained, this time too, the streets were wet and the yard flooded really well. It came in the late evening and I got a chance to take a photo as the rain sprinkled onto the […]

This is Squaw Peak from the North East. Running a trail I have not run before, I noticed this massive expanse of space at the foot of the peak. The sparse, open and dry space was a bit surprising. I’ve been on it so many times before – in it; not on this elevated trail.

Without a doubt, my favorite shoes are the Mata for daily use and the Motus for sport. So much so, I have spares in my closet, but Vivo just came out with a canvas version of the Mata and I could not resist picking up a pair. I really like the leather version of the Mata. When […]
