Happy Earth Day

So, I am back in Utah 

and it's beautiful here.

The weather is perfect

and hot! 

It's so green 

while the tops of the mountains still have snow on them.

This Earth Day weekend I made sure to take advantage 

of this summer feeling weather. 

Yesterday my mom and I went to the new 

City Creek Center in downtown Salt Lake.

It's huge and very nice with a lot of department stores.
Then we drove up to Ogden to go on a hike.
It was hot and there were many people and dogs out enjoying the sun.
The hike ended at a waterfall and the mist felt great.
I really do like hiking and hope to explore more in Utah.

Then today Skylar and Brittany invited me along on a bike stroll through the park.
It was fun and good to see a lot of people out. 

Now, I have to go shopping for sandals and shorts
and get my tan back!

Allow.

Her thoughts began to quiet.
Her heart was still.
Her soul was hopeful.
She believed she would live the life she's always wanted.
She stopped worrying.
She stopped caring.
She just allowed.

Lancaster

Lancaster will always be home.
It's where I spent the first 20 years of my life.
It's where I made friends.
It holds many, many memories.
And it will always hold a special place in my heart.

With the weather being perfect

I finally went to the poppy reserve
but there were hardly any poppies.
Still, the area is beautiful,
with wide open space.
It made me appreciate Lancaster more.
It made me question why I haven't spent more time
out there exploring.
