Oh, mountains, how I love thee.
My favourite thing is hiking, climbing up a hill step by step, alone with my thoughts and my songs. I live in an amazing place for that, with several trails close to my house.
Today I hiked up to the bench, which offers this view of our little lake community.
I sang my way up, like I often do, huffing and puffing and giving the occasional howl for the heck of it. ;) Okay, not really a howl, but a whoop nonetheless—a sound that comes from the deep satisfaction of having climbed a steep section of trail.
Of course I’m hiking with a hat on… Always #haturday 'round these parts.
Oh right, HAPPY EQUINOX! Today was the first day of fall up here in the north.
Nature is showing off her colours.
When I got home from my hike, I decided to make banana bread.
I followed a recipe, loosely, adjusting things as I always do.

The kids came over to see what I was doing.
In the oven for an hour. What to do?
Steem Steem Steem
This banana bread has homemade applesauce in it, plus some hemp hearts, collagen protein, and a bit of maple syrup.
I’d give you a recipe but I pretty much wing it when I cook. Sometimes it comes out well, sometimes not. This time I did good.
Yum! So delicious!
I went around to a few of my favourite discord groups and served banana bread and tea/coffee to the family of friends I’ve found through the Steem blockchain. I'm always up for having fun and sharing the love. 💖
