1. Many years ago, my grandmother took a winter trip through Yosemite where they rode big transport buses on the cleared roads in the park. I guess they stayed in the lodges at night? Anyway, it sounded like a fun winter vacation.
2. I would bring a tote bag full of books and then spend most of my time looking out the windows.

so-soI wanted to like this more than I actually did. Muir made this journey only a couple of years after the US Civil War, but the casual racism he exhibits whenever he runs into or writes about Black people is still really jarring. I wish there had been more pictures of the areas he traveled through.
I‘m about halfway through this short book. Wash has his paw on my knee as if to say, “But you could be paying attention to me.”
Tonight‘s reading. I can‘t imagine walking that far!
Getting the weekend started with an adult slushee and this new book from the bookstore across the street.
pickA small painting inspired by John Muir‘s yosemite, nothing causes daydreams like that place. Sorry it‘s a lil off topic, but I often paint scenes from books so I figured this may be interesting to some

pickJohn Muir was a Scottish-American naturalist who is known as the "Father of the National Parks". Stickeen recounts Muir's exploration of an Alaskan glacier with a funny little dog (Stickeen) and the hair-raising predicament they ultimately find themselves in.
This is a wonderful short story I would recommend to anyone who likes a quick adventure or loves dogs, or both. It was a fun compliment to the book I just read, Two in the Far North.
