Butterflies

On Friday, Brenna gave a report in school on the Monarch Butterfly. All the kids loved her poster and the great coloring she'd done. They also loved the "real" picture that we'd found on the internet. Here's an interesting fact about the Monarch Butterfly: They lay up to a thousand eggs on the same leaf except the last egg is on it's own leaf. Something to think about.

Incline Ascent

Here in the Springs there is a hike called "The Incline". It is what it sounds like. Almost a 50% grade, 2010 increase in elevation, climbing up an old rail track. My friend and I just finished this morning and it was painful. I'm glad I did it but even more glad it's over. At the top it was about 45 degrees so it was freezing. Oh by the way, this morning I also lifted weights with my trainer. I think I will stay in bed for the weekend.
