“I love to go a- wandering along the mountain track, and as I go, I love to sing, my knapsack on my back.
Val-deri,Val-dera,
Val-deri,
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-deri,Val-dera.
My knapsack on my back.”
Once a week my Mom and I go hiking. I love it so much. Experiencing nature is such a huge part of who I am.
This week we went to Kings Mountain National Military Park and climbed Brown’s Peak. It was beautiful and had a very wild feeling to the area.
The view from the top was actually a delightful surprise. It’s hard to get views in the NC/SC mountains, because there are so many trees – and let’s just be honest, because you don’t get up very high even on the top of the peaks. 
But this view was very lovely and you could hardly see any buildings in the distance!
Here’s my lovely trail lunch, consisting of an avocado with the largest pit I’ve ever seen, a handful of succulent dates and homemade gluten free, egg free, oil free, dairy free granola bars! Okay, the chocolate chips had a little dairy in them.
My lovely mom at the summit!
‘I love to wander by the stream that dances in the sun, so joyously it calls to me, “Come, join my happy song!” ‘
Working on my bridge pose. Looks more like a table right now.. haha!
“I wave my hat to all I meet,
And they wave back to me,
And blackbirds call so loud and sweet
From ev’ry green wood tree.”
“High overhead the skylarks wing, they never rest at home, but just like, me they love to sing, as o’er the world we roam!”
“Oh, may I go a-wandering
Until the day I die!
Oh, may I always laugh and sing,
Beneath God’s clear blue sky!
Val-deri,Val-dera,
Val-deri,
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-deri,Val-dera.
My knapsack on my back.”
Peace and love,
