I hiked with Filiep in the morning, up to the trail nearest our house, up the foothills, then down into a wash, at the base of the mountain. It was an invigorating hike!
After the hike, we all had a lazy morning, with sprinkles off and on. After lunch, Papa and I took Filiep to Sabino Canyon, where we rode the shuttle up, and hiked down 4 miles. We’ve had a fair amount of rain over the past two months, so the creek was running and we listened to the sound of running water in the desert the whole way down. Music to the ears! The desert is green, the saguaros are fat.
