A few days in the mountains and everything has settled down, special time with family, incredible food, the brief luxury of Bloody Mary’s with breakfast and glorious hikes in the mountains have all made for plenty of Life is Good moments to share. Today we report on concerts in the park, puppies who are coming after the goats in yoga and campfire coffee.

It’s hard not to hike when you are in the mountains. When the beauty wears you like a jacket, the ground feels holy. Today we hiked to several scenic creeks rushing down from the mountains. Tahoe continues to see snow-covered mountain peaks and fabulous water flows from the heavy snow this winter. Nothing resets the news or your perspective like the Wild Blue Yonder!

Goat yoga has taken over in the US. Many gyms, farms, and rec centers now offer goat yoga a few times a year. It was first introduced, making regular yoga a therapeutic experience with animals. Whether you are a yogi or just someone up to try something new, goat yoga might appeal to you. But puppy yoga has appeared on the scene. Enjoy the following clip and decide if it is an experience you would like to enjoy. Be prepared for cuteness overload.

An unknown author said, “But first, coffee.” Millions of people across the globe agree that coffee is a necessity before the business of the day can proceed. This has rung true since the Civil War when coffee-loving troops found themselves without their morning cup of joe. The Confederate soldiers became creative, trying to find a substitute. They would roast ry, sweet potatoes, acorns, dandelions, and even peanuts in the search for a worthy substitute. Civil War historians have discovered diaries with writings about how much the soldiers missed a good cup of coffee. One entry stated that no one could soldier without coffee. That way of thinking still rings true today.

Truckee, California, is a small mountain city near Donner Lake and Lake Tahoe. On Wednesday, we attended Truckee Music In The Park. The weather was beautiful, the stage and setting were inviting, and the music was great.
