Yarn Bombs

On our walk, spotted these yarn bombs. A sign reminded us today is the winter solstice, and invited us to take one of the macramé stars. We didn’t take one, a photo sufficed. “From this point forward we begin our journey back to the light.”

Trail Lunch

Our hall table, items for a state park hike tomorrow. Earlier today, ducked into Trader Joe’s to pick up supplies. The store had been reorganized yet again, I couldn’t find gorp in the usual spot, so grabbed the first things I saw. Lunch on the trail will be good, it always is.
