The last Wednesday in April was cool, clear and glorious!  All I had to do that day was see the dentist at 2:00 plus run some small errands.  So I took it upon myself to go up to the main section of the state forest surrounding our home for a lengthy, leisurely, restful walk.

Here is what I saw.

The stone plaque, a tribute to the forest’s namesake, greeted me.

And I went along down the familiar path until I reached the old stone fireplace…..

While not as impressive as the Rock Chimney I discovered awhile back it is still pretty darn cool.

Yet I moved on…….

Much of the trail was thick in red. clay, mud from the rain we have been getting weekly since Christmas. One reason I’ve limited my walks close to home…..

I was about 4 inches taller by the end of the walk!  Ha!

I love the forest in spring!

The flowers are fragrant and the berries are ready to eat!  I ate…..several.

I love this walk……

I’ve been treading these trails most of my life and I never tire of them

Always fresh……..

Always full of life and beauty.

Thanks for walking with me today!

I love you peeps!
