February 28th, 2011

For the first time since my accident, I manage to walk with an almost normal gait. My leg feels lighter and the good news was to show off my improved skills to my hiking friend who paid me a longer visit today. She noticed right away and it filled me with hope.
The weather has turned spring like, here in the foothills,and although snow is still blanketing the top of the mountains, the grass is green and the daffodils are all in bloom.
I can't wait to go to the nursery and get new plants!
Wanda told me about her hiking plans for the summer. She is planning Half Dome again but she will camp on the way up since a good friend, who has never hiked that far, will accompany her. I wish I could do it again. I have no idea when I will be capable to walk the mile loop around our local lake so Half Dome? My consolation is that the last time I hiked it, it was under the moon light.
And nobody needed a daily pass then to reach the top of the most infamous peak in Yosemite.
