Trip Report: Squire Lake

Image
I've been a bit under the weather lately, so the boy and I decided to try a short and easy hike near town. The threat of downpours and landslide risks also influenced our decision, so we headed down to a little park right on the Whatcom/Skagit county line near lake Samish. Squire Lake did not disappoint! We arrived at the trailhead after lunch, probably around noon. There were cars parked on the road but the parking lot was almost empty, so I'm guessing we missed the morning rush :) We ran into two people on the trail and heard a family at one point, so not secluded but not crowded, either. Other than some mud, to be expected in January, the trail was in excellent condition. Sawdust and fresh cuts bore witness to recent trail cleanup from the wind storms, so good job county in maintaining the parks! The boy and I headed out on the squires lake trail loop, then joined up to the beaver pond loop. We got off trail to walk up Squire Rd for a better view of the beaver pond...

Although we are still about three weeks out from the equinox, a hint of fall is in the air. The first of the leaves have begun to fall, likely those weakened by the normal dry season. The light has taken on that look, that rich golden hue that only occurs as we begin to descend into the harvest season. Today was a day of gifting. Mo and I made the rounds, dropping off items we no longer needed on the porches of lucky recipients -- members of our local buy nothing group. We receive what we put out into the world. I have to believe that. So good, good and hope, that is what must be put out into the world. I spent my evening with a beloved magazine, a beloved person, and a beloved trail through the local wood. I harvest a tomato from the balcony garden, several more will be ripening in the coming weeks. We enjoyed a simple dinner of spinach pizza and sliced tomatoes. I have plans brewing in my head, too soon to put them here. It's not a grand plan, but a simple one. Nat...

Evolution Time

There's some changes in the works. Big changes. Yuge changes (couldn't resist). If you haven't noticed, the world has been on pandemic lockdown. Perhaps nowhere in the US more so than Washington state. A timeline, for your reading pleasure : January 20th: First confirmed US case, 45 miles down the road from us. (We have since learned there were many other cases before this confirmation, of course.) March 11th: My life suddenly got a lot easier. Classes canceled, along with midterms. Businesses, restaurants, etc begin closing. The company I write for put down a hiring freeze, and I suddenly had as much freelance work as I could do. March 25th: Pretty much the entire fucking region closes down -- public lands, remaining businesses (except grocery stores). Today, May 19th: Shit is still closed down. By the way, I don't agree with the current severity of the measures. They were fine in March and through April, wise even and 100% backed by the science at the ...
