Swain's World

As part of my training prep for a fall elk hunt, I'm trying to hike this nearby mountain once a week while I progressively increase my pack weight. This week I'm up to a little over 20 pounds. The goal is 60 by September. Normally I like to hike at sunrise on Saturdays, but it was raining, so I took the opportunity to timelapse film the beautiful sunset before heading down. What a view! The best part is knowing that if you missed this one, there will be another one the next day, and the next, and so on.

Won't let a little hail stop the fun!

Spring is on its way! What are you planting this year?

This is my first time snowboarding in 4 years. Also my first time trying out the GoPro, and brand new board, bindings and boots. The new board is the 2024 Capita DOA along with Union bindings, and Solomon boots. Super happy with the whole package and can't wait to get back to the mountain!

An early look at the citrus grove. Tree types, retaining wall, tree wells and no mulch yet.

This is shortly after we finished our first garden enclosure and before we added much of the backyard landscaping we have now.

A quick walk-through of the citrus trees.

Naturally fermented grape juice made fizzy by the fermentation process turns the juice into soda.

I love you Kristy! You will be missed, but I know we will see each other again.
