Very similar to what I'll be sharing tomorrow. Don't you just love mountain streams?

There are several in the Black Hills - paved trails with gentle inclines, and they take you away from the rush of traffic and offer some beautiful views.<br /><br />But the garden is a wonderful getaway. There's nothing like puttering about among the plants and dirt to put life in perspective, is there?Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-24874102302230395532016-08-01T11:42:08.619-04:002016-08-01T11:42:08.619-04:00Oooooohhhhhh....love those pictures.

We have beautiful parkland in the Gatineau Hills (our version of mountains) with all kinds of trails. Alas I haven't been there in years...can't navigate those trails any more. So my weekend getaway is my garden. <br /><br />Oh -- and I'll give this banana bread a whirl. I'm terrible because I never make 'naked' banana bread any more. Mine's usually loaded with chocolate chips but I forgot to buy the choco chips so I have bananas languishing on the counter. But I do have cinnamon so I'll give this a whirl.Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-13787067962603401002016-08-01T10:26:25.236-04:002016-08-01T10:26:25.236-04:00I hiked quite a bit when I was in high school, but...I hiked quite a bit when I was in high school, but then life happened.<br /><br />We started hiking again when we moved here to the Black Hills. As my husband says, there's too much to see in places you can't get to unless you walk. So we walk!<br /><br />But the beach! Would you believe my husband has never been to the beach? We've tried to go, but it has never worked out. Of course, it doesn't help when you live a good chunk of your life in the center of the continent!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-2329102984923788032016-08-01T10:23:33.249-04:002016-08-01T10:23:33.249-04:00I don't hate you for not being a hiker, Ruthy....I don't hate you for not being a hiker, Ruthy. How can I? :)<br /><br />And yes, Carrie loves Sally's site. It's her go-to whenever she's looking for a recipe. And since she bought Sally's book last year, her goal is to make every recipe in it.<br /><br />Which was a lot more fun when she still lived at home...Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-69574499002996248632016-08-01T10:13:29.484-04:002016-08-01T10:13:29.484-04:00I love your hike pictures, Jan.

Personally, I'd rather do my walking in sand along the seashore. But I love your pictures!<br /><br />And the bread recipe. I'm going to have to get some bananas, let them ripen, and try this. My husband, in desperation, bought a loaf of Banana Bread in Costco. He was hungry and it looked good. When I asked how it was, his answer - "Not as good as yours." Kind of a strong hint, right?<br /><br />I bet he'll love this.

I love the peeks of flowers and falls.... although I'm no hiker, Jan. Don't hate me!!!!<br /><br />Now the banana bread sounds marvelous and I love Sally's site, too! I found it last year, and I get ideas for new and wonderful things although everyone around here is being carb-careful so they're kind of spoiling some of my fun... but that's okay, we splurge now and again and I keep testing recipes!<br /><br />Must try this. It sounds wonderful and I'll report back.<br /><br />And of course I'll glaze it! PSHAW! :)Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.com
