Stormy vs. The Matterhorn!

Today's weather: Partly cloudy. High of 73 degrees. Tree pollen levels are very high.


I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN HEAR ME. I DON'T GET THE BEST RECEPTION UP HERE.

I'M AT THE BASE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS PEAK IN THE ALPS. THE MATTERHORN.

THIS WAS ALL MICHAEL DI GESU'S IDEA. HE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GREAT FUN IF I CLIMBED UP THIS GIGANTIC FREAKIN' MOUNTAIN.

YEAH. THANKS FOR THE GREAT SUGGESTION.

IT'S A GOOD THING WE HAVE SUNDAY OFF FROM THE CHALLENGE.

THIS COULD TAKE A WHILE.

Stormy, if the Matterhorn isn't enough of a challenge, try Kilimanjaro! Lots of coffee plantations at the base to give you a caffiene kick start!

I could hear you but it took me a minute to find you. Come back safe.

Gorgeous photo!

Visiting as an A to Z blogger – participating with six very different blogs. (All on Blogspot.com and all in the A to Z Challenge. Not listing the links here, but you are welcome to click through my profile picture to find them, if you wish.) Happy A-to-Z!

Joan! – Welcome! Thanks so much for coming by. He’s going to need some caffeine when he gets back from the Alps!

farawayeyes – He is pretty tiny!

Linda – Thanks for stopping in! I’ll be by to check you guys out!

M.J. – Let’s hope he has his long underwear!

Alex – I wish! That would have been awesome! If only I was independently wealthy!

Jeremy – Thank you! I love your posts! I hope Stormy will bring back a souvenir!

Clarissa Draper said...

Oh, be careful, Stormy! Especially with your recent foot injury.

Carol Kilgore said...

The Matterhorn actually looks a little like Stormy's hat covered with snow.

Tara Tyler said...

a little bit of an echo but you're doing great!

dont trip!

Heather M. Gardner said...

Clarissa - Yep. I've got my feet in a plastic bag!

Carol - Ha! I hadn't noticed but now I can see it!

Tara - I'll do my best!

At least you won't need oxygen, but don't slip or someone will have to break out the Gorilla Glue again.

Crowbar said...

Does having a horn really matter?

Heather M. Gardner said...

DL - I bet he hopes so!

Tamara - We might need the glue by the end of the month anyway. He's been very busy.

Crowbar! - Some men might think so!

Jennifer Lane said...

I had to look closely to find you, Stormy. You have a big climb ahead!

Tonja said...

I know it's wrong, and I would never ever do it, but it would kind of be funny to leave him to there...like a troll at the base of the mountain.

Heather M. Gardner said...

Jennifer - Hopefully he'll make it back by Monday.

Tonja - Ha! I think I'd miss him too much.

Michael Di Gesu said...

Oh, Stormy,

I am so not a mountain climber. Fun for other people, but not for me!
