Rocky Mountain High


Here's the view from my front window.
The mountain is called Timpanogos.
Timp is my newest best friend.
Her majesty is almost as good
as my old best friends
among the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee.
But not quite.

I do believe that I spend more of my time
with her
every day
than I ever did with my friends in Knoxville.

Sometimes I just wish that she could talk back.
But I think she is just trying to figure out if
I am Rocky Mountain High
or I am just plain crazy.
I don't have the heart to tell her
it's probably a little of both.

That's not the kind of thing that you
tell your new friends right off the bat.
It takes years to build that kind of re pore.
No wonder why she can't compete.
We've only known each other for a month.

I'll let you know how the friendship evolves.
I hope she will eventually appreciate me
as much as I appreciate her.
Besides my family,
she is most definitely the highlight of my day.

I would love to wake up to a view like that everyday. Absolutley gorgeous. Of course I would also be prone to want to climb it. Not too many friends want you to climb them, but I got a feeling Timp is begging you too.
