Island in the Sky

 The mountain tops called us today and so up we went for a visit even if it was drizzling...

“Any one can sit at home and criticize a pilot for flying into a mountain in a fog. 

But I would rather by far die on a mountainside than in bed.” ~ ~ ~ Charles Lindbergh

“Mountains are the beginning and the end of all natural scenery.” ~ ~ ~ John Ruskin

once in awhile, climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods...

 “Keep close to Nature’s heart…

 It washes your spirit clean.” ~ ~ ~ John Muir

 “Somewhere between the bottom of the climb and the summit

 is the answer to the mystery why we climb.”

~ ~ ~ Greg Child

“If you are faced with a mountain, you have several options. 

You can climb it and cross to the other side. 

You can go around it. 

You can dig under it. 

You can fly over it. 

You can blow it up. 

You can ignore it and pretend it’s not there. 

You can turn around and go back the way you came. 

Or you can stay on the mountain and make it your home.”

~ ~ ~ Vera Nazarian

 “Today is your day! 

Your mountain is waiting...

So… get on your way!”

~ Dr. Seuss
