Going for a Hike on a Sunny Spokane Morning

I have always loved the poem, "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Winter Evening." by Robert Frost;  I therefore title this post.... Going for a Hike on a Sunny Spokane Morning.  The sunny part of that is something we find a little rare these days in Spokane and hope to have more of. 

It all began with a phone call, and the voice of an adventurous little girl, her sweet little voice saying, "Grandma, do you want to go on a hike?"

Who could refuse? 

Not me..... and not the Grandpa either.  One whisper to him about it, and off we went....

 "Ahhhhhh, the wonder of it all!"
