A Little While
- A New Chapter Unfolds
Hey there! So, I stumbled upon this little corner of the world, and guess what? A new chapter is unfolding. It might not have those rocky outcrops I usually adore, but it’s compensating with some serious treasures.
Right at the heart of this basin, there’s flowing water, rich soil, diverse ecosystems, lush trees, and thriving agriculture. It’s like nature decided to paint the perfect canvas for me—one for vibrant gardens, healthier bee colonies, and more predictable weather. And the best part? Less wind! I’m already dreaming of a large garden and some buzzing beehives.
Oh, and to make those drives to the rocky outcrops a bit more exciting, I’m thinking of getting an adventure bike. Picture this: exploring, camping overnight, and creating memories, even if the rocks are a bit scarce.
Check out this agate I found in the trail’s center. It might not be those big, rocky wonders, but the eroded cobbles in the basin have a charm of their own.
- A Radiant Discovery On The Path
And speaking of charms, I discovered this gem on the path—a radiant find that practically glows like a diamond. Is it fluorescent? Well, what do you know!
- A Glowing Gem Fluorescing Under Long Wave Ultraviolet Light
It turns out, it fluoresces under long wave ultraviolet light. No staging for the photo; it was just a delightful surprise. Could it be an omen? I can’t help but chuckle at the thought.
- Embarking On A New Life And Adventure
Now, let’s talk about embarking on a new life and adventure. Where does this path lead? Only time will tell, but those distant mountains hold the promise of mineral wonders that rival the Black Hills pegmatites of my early geology days. It’s like a Ctrl-Alt-Delete moment before Alaska, religion, and that ill-fated marriage.
Life has hit the reboot button, and right now, I’ve never been happier or more at peace. Sure, I’ll miss some things, but like before, I’ll adapt with time. Soon, life in this new haven will feel as comfortable as it once did in my last location.
- Charting The Course In A New Place
And now, it’s all about charting the course in this new place. Just one winter to get through. Nestled in this cozy, sunlit country loft with a view of the south-facing mountains, I’m ready to hibernate. Journaling is on the agenda—a desire I’ve always had. Living authentically, embracing a nature-centered life of peace and simplicity. Let the adventures begin anew!
Cheers, D 🪨🔥
