Life: Week 31

August 9, 2016 Laura Norsen

It's only early August, but already it feels like summer is winding down. We've had blissfully cool, nearly fall-like weather for a few days now, and I am so ready for sweaters and soup and piles and piles of blankets! We'd planned for another backpacking trip, we even took Friday off for a longer weekend of hiking, but sadly Andy caught an awful summer cold, so instead we spent the weekend at home. As sad as I was to miss out on a weekend in the mountains, I think we needed the lazy weekend at home. We went for a few walks, spent lazy mornings watching cartoons and eating pancakes, and I spent some quality time knitting. I've got one project that just needs seaming before it's finished, but unfortunately seaming is one of my least favorite things. For a sanity break, I started working on a lighter weight wool hat to take for myself on summer backpacking trips. I'm kind of in love with the super fun colorway - it's called Holi Festival! I'm using a very simple pattern for the hat to cut down on bulk, so I'm glad it will have some personality from the yarn.

Hi there! I'm Laura, and I'm an alpine addict. When I'm not out on the trail, I'm most likely at home snuggled up with my cat and a good book.

Berry colored huckleberry blooms promising delicious trail snacks in the near future!
Powerline Trail: Alpine Edition. Just a slight upgrade... 😅
Spending a gloomy Sunday in the city, but I still managed to find an astonishing amount of greenery in the Volunteer Park Conservatory!
Perfect morning for a river hike, especially when there are views like this!
An excellent reminder
With high avalanche danger in the mountains, today was a rainy Issaquah Alps sort of day. I think I've decided that hiking in the rain is my favorite, since not only are trails quieter, but the people you do run into are the best sort of hikers - other souls undeterred by a little weather!
Just a little Monday magic 😍
Perfect morning for a snowshoe in a snowstorm and some lovely hygge conversation with the #alpinetrailsbookclub After everyone had left, the clouds parted giving us a sliver of blue sky and a peek at mountains through the trees!
Winter wonderland!❄️
Don't let crap weather keep you inside. Sometimes the ugliest days can be the most magical in the woods!
