Winter Has Come Again




Winter is back at the Canyon! It was so great having warmer days in the past few weeks. During the day it got up into the 50's and low 60's a few days. Now winter is back, if we get what they say, by Wednesday morning we could have 10 inches of the white stuff. I hope not cause I have to be able to get to the clinic on Thursday for my weekly check up.

I am doing pretty good now, have not used the oxygen for the past few days. I am healing and they are thinking I am ready to try working again. It will only be part time for the first few weeks. This way I can get back into slowly .

On Friday, Sunni and I walked the 1/4 mile trail behind the Shire of Ages to go to my favorite spot on the rim trail. Sunni had the oxygen tank on wheels & a chair in case I needed it. I had to stop and rest a number of times, but it felt so great to see the canyon again ! I sat on a rock and just enjoyed the clouds over the canyon and seeing the shadows the clouds made on the canyon. I will post another picture of the canyon on that day.
I think we were out here about 2 hrs, so I had a good day getting my strengh back up. It was real peaceful at this point which is what I love about this time of year. There are not many guests here in the park. One can go on the rim trail & hear the silence of the Grand Canyon.
