I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been checking the blog though, and have enjoyed everyone's posting and comments.
Things are going well here in State College. Spring has finally come --we got to put the first of our garden in yesterday ("we" meaning mostly Jamie and our friend, Ben). We're looking forward to working on it more before we leave for Scotland. Jamie also got honeybees on Saturday. I'm not sure how much I like them yet. They like to bother Hunter, so that's frustrating. He's pretty scared of them now and is quite ready to go inside once they start buzzing around him. That's no good. So we'll see. I'll try to post a picture of the hive in the next day or two.
Jamie went to an orthopedic doctor today because he's been having trouble with his knee and it was starting to interfere with running. The doctor thinks he has patellar tendonitis, which is NOT what Jamie wanted to hear. The treatment is rest. . . Jamie was hoping for more of a quick-fix so that he could get back to training for his marathon. Crazy man!
Being the romantics that we are, we went for a twelve mile walk on Saturday (which was our anniversary). I was testing out my new shoes and I don't think they'll work!! I ended up with blisters and hot spots out the whazoo. After my feet toughen up again, I'm going to try my old hiking shoes and see if they'll do. I guess it's better to find this kind of thing out several weeks before the trip, rather than on the first day of the walk.
Okay, well, I can't think of anything else to write about. Kind of boring here in the sticks. Hope you are all doing well and I look forward to seeing some of you soon!

Speaking of gardening, Dad has planted onions and will also plant cream peas. I don't know if we will do much else, as I would like for him to get a good crop of peas...maybe some tomato plants up near the house. The iris we planted last year are about to bloom...so I will post a a picture when they do.
Maybe the bees will settle down once they get used to their new home...I hope so.....your homemade whole wheat bread with homegrown honey!!
Sorry to hear about your shoes, Darcy. If it's an consolation, I've found a great pair! Elizabeth and I both got new shoes last week and I love mine. They are Garmont Nagevis and I feel like they have just the right balance of light weight vs. solid structure for me. I've been wearing them to work to help break them in!
Oh, I'm so glad that you got a good pair! I think that will make all the difference in the trip for people. I think I'm going to go back to my old pair -- they're tried and true. :)
I hear you and Elizabeth have been walking every weekend. I'm glad that our first day isn't going to be 20 miles after all -- I'd be worthless the next day. Can't wait to see you two in a few weeks. . .
