365 Project. Day 138, May 18. We had planned to do the 2-4 hour hike into the canyon this day, but it was rainy and really cold. We ended up hanging around the rim for a while, but we eventually came back to the campground. We set up the screen tent so that we'd be mostly dry. It was mostly through raining, but it was cold! I was cold and wet and disappointed, so I gave myself a time-out in the tent. I was SO warm and cozy in my bed, listening to the kids laughing and playing cards. There was this bird that had a very high tweet -- it sounded like the beginning of Beethoven's 5th. The whole week we were there, I would copy it, and we'd talk to each other. At this point, I heard him far away and I whistled back from inside the tent. Jennifer said the bird got closer and closer, finally landing in a tree above the tent, trying to figure out who the heck and where the heck I was. It improved my mood immensely!
