Ok so I've been offline for a few days or so doing my annual elfing duties. I pop back on ActiveRain this morning and find a whole bunch of fun posts about rainers. And they all made me smile reading about what they like etc! A little more holiday cheer is always a good thing! And of course our

I am so grateful to live at the bottom of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve! This morning while out for my morning hike/meditation I came across two guys I haven't seen since last spring. Most of us quit hiking during the summer months because it's just too hot. But the two guys I ran into today sa
