"In his domestic administration my father had this system . . . to keep a journal and insert in it all occurrences of any note . . . A record very pleasant to look at when time begins to efface the memory of events, and very well suited to get us out of perplexity: When was such and such a thing begun? When completed? What retinues came? How long did they stay? Our trips, our absences; marriages; deaths; the receipt of happy or unhappy news . . . An ancient custom, which I think it would be good to revive, each man in each man's home. And I think I am a fool to have neglected it." (Montaigne, Book I, Essay 35 (publ. 1580))

Spur Cross 2012

PJ and I like hiking the Elephant Mountain trail at Spur Cross Conservation Area up in Cave Creek (as noted here and here).

Our 2012 hike was back in early March - perfect day, beautiful conditions.  After:  a surprisingly good meal at some restaurant south of Cave Creek (don't recall name).

I much like our little point-and-shoot Canon, photos are much better than prior years (click to enlarge).
