Today was the first sunny day since the daylong downpour on Wednesday and in honor of such an occasion, my mom and I went for a hike! We walked through beautiful Red Top Mountain state park and despite the chilly start to the day and the blisters that resulted from the 5.5 mile trek, it was absolutely spectacular. We spied three white tail deer frolicking through the woods and enjoyed the meandering trail that led us in and out of wooded areas and along the shores of Lake Altoona. We finished our trip with a simple picnic by the lake. My now-famous homemade cheese-its made an appearance as well as a few steak biscuits (thank you Cracker Barrel) crisp ambrosia apples and refreshing sparkling black cherry juice. The day could not have been lovelier! Now to find our next hiking destination...and some kinder footwear.
After a little rest, I jumped back into my latest project which employed my sewing machine!! It was my first time using it and I am thrilled with the results. Some left-over fabric from past projects and trim and button given to me by my grandmother met up to make a cozy place for my new little iPhone 3GS to sleep.
