The cashier at the grocery store today told Stephen that we were the cutest couple she had seen come through her line today. :D

Made my day!

We went on a hike today. It was l-o-v-e-l-y. It was just the perfect amount of exercise. My legs, which give me fits if I get too much or too little exercise, were so perfectly relaxed when we got home.

My favorite part was adventuring up a stream. The stream is very accessible from the road, but the stream has overrun its banks and the path was covered with water! Only a few inches of water, but very fast-moving water and neither of us had water shoes on. So we picked our way over rocks and under trees and climbed up and down this cramped space between a giant rock and the moss-covered rock wall next to us. Stephen almost couldn't do that bit. :) He had all his camera gear on and couldn't figure out how to get down with it all...I helped him. ;) By, uh, showing off maybe a little how easily I could get through, unencumbered. LOL! Anyway, we couldn't make it all the way back to the log jam; the stream was just too wide. But it was sure fun getting as far as we got.

After that we went on a trail a little ways down from the stream. We thought it was only a 0.8 mile hike up to a waterfall....But it turned out that it was 0.8 miles to the beginning of the trailhead!!! And another 1.5 miles to the fall we were aiming for! We couldn't do that; the sun was already pretty low in the sky and we did NOT want to be hiking after dark!! Done it once by accident--never want to do it again!

Oh--my favorite thing we saw today was that moss covered wall. Water was dripping down through the moss and falling like light raindrops everywhere. It was EXACTLY the sort of place I could imagine fairies washing their hair. :)

Anyway, gotta go to bed. Tired! -Stephanie
