Coming back here.
I keep changing my mind about who what where when and why I want to blog. I think I've narrowed it down and I plan to start blogging here again. I may try keeping 2 blogs going and see how that goes.
My other blog will focus more on food stuff and Columbus stuff while this one will focus on me and Columbus stuff, so there will be some overlap. It may take a bit of time to get back into the groove so in the mean time beagles and trees!

New Blog Location
My new blog!
I'm feeling the urge to blog again. A fresh start feels good. If anyone is still here, go there! I'm still working on getting it the way I want it, but it looks presentable.
"Wherever you go, there you are!"

Betty who?
I'm not sure what it is about blogging but it just hasn't been happening. I think using Twitter and Facebook has something to do with it. Twitter has gone in a direction that isn't going to last, like mostly following people I don't know, so maybe when I break up with or revamp myTwitter I'll blog more.
But I had to share some of these pics. I'm trying Project 365 on Flickr (probably another contribution to lack of blogging, but maybe I can make it work for it instead).
Here are some pics of a couple of local water falls. Hayden Run Falls and Indian Run Falls. Indian Run Falls is very easily accessed, and Hayden Run Falls is a short walk after going down some steps.
Check them out before the weather gets warm!

A few weeks ago, some friends and I hiked from Old Man's Cave to Ash Cave. We did this before the annual hike they sponsor with huge crowds, so it was just us and an occasional sighting of another person :) There was less snow and ice than there is now, but it was still gorgeous!
Grandma Gatewood Trail
So far, all of this outdoor activity (I've been going on some Metro Park hikes too) is postponing the winter blues. Yay!

The end of a season
How I spent much of the last warm day before the real November arrived.
My view was pretty, but it made me sad.
I felt compelled to capture the blue sky. It will be rare in the coming months.
Then I let myself splurge at Jeni's. A sundae made with Creme Fraiche with Amarena Cherries ice cream and bitter chocolate sauce. There is always a motorcycle parked in front of Jeni's.

Hike and Knit
Yesterday some fellow hiking knitters and I got together at Slate Run Metro Park. We are a fairly new group who meet two Sundays each month and take turns choosing where to go. If you are in the area and are interested in joining us, feel free to contact me about it. After hiking, we usually go someplace to knit and sip tasty goods and sometimes eat. It's always a lot of fun and quite relaxing! There are so many great parks around here and I love getting to see more of them.
Martha, Trish, and Molly.
A perfect way to spend a Sunday.

Hocking Hills - Oct 2008
I lost my blogging mojo for a while. I thought my trip to the hills would bring it back, but I'm using a lousy monitor after mine died and the pictures just don't look as good as they could. In fact, I can't really tell if they are too dark, so if they are, I blame the monitor. I'm hoping Santa will want to help me out at xmas. That would give me enough time to truly appreciate a new one :)
This trip was long overdue. I go to Hocking Hills when I can to decompress. I was stuck and not getting anything accomplished but now I feel like getting things done!
On my way down, I stopped at Rockbridge State Nature Preserve.
I didn't notice the hiking sticks until I came out of the path.
There is quite a long path to get back to the woods and hills.
This is one of my favorite pictures from the trip. I just stopped to look at the view and then only after I came home did I realize I like it so much because it reminds me of Six Feet Under.
A view from under the bridge.
Another view.
I found this guy as I was coming back out of the woods. It looks like a pumpkin spider to me, but apparently they are quite common. It is an orange garden spider.
I hadn't eaten before going thinking that since it wasn't a long trail I would just eat after. I should know better. There were enough hills on the trail that I could have used some fuel. I was tired when I came out of there. There are a couple of new restaurants right off of 33 in Logan, one of which is
Millstone BBQ. I ate there and felt better. The other new one I saw is a Mexican place that I will try next time. Previously, I usually ate at the Dutch Kitchen, so I'm glad to see something new.
Lake Hope
My idea of roughing it - using tea bags instead of loose leaf tea.
I've wanted to hike the Grandma Gatewood trail for quite a while. Since I didn't think I was ready to hike the whole trail and the return trip to my car I went from Old Man's Cave to Cedar Falls and back.
It was absolutely stunning.
Could this be The Bat Cave? Look just left of the center :)
Cedar Falls.
I'm always fascinated by exposed tree roots.
Back at Old Man's Cave.
The Sphinx Head.
My view at the cabin.
Hanging out at the lake.
My mind is much clearer now than it was before I went. Now I'm ready to tackle the Bayerische Socks, which I discovered are fun after you get going. The first 2 rows are the most challenging, then it all falls into place. Eunny is a genius. In keeping with a fall theme, I'm knitting them in orange.

Kyle - almost smiling!
Hand knit footlets.
Perfect sky at Chestnut Ridge Metro Park.

South Drive In - I don't know why I don't think to go there more often. It's a fun thing to do!
Dad on his birthday.
