This weekend began last night with a quick hike at the lake. A parade of distractions, bad weather and all sorts of problems kept me off the trail this week so it felt particularly good to go out and play.
It was not quite sixty degrees and I delighted in the crunch of leaves beneath my feet as well as the sounds of a few stray Canada Geese soaring over the lake.
Fall has arrived.
Soon it will be too dark to hike after work so we must make hay while we can. After months of summer heat, it’s a relief to layer up and breath crisp, autumn air.
Aren’t these mushrooms unusual?
The beautiful thing about living in a place with four distinct seasons is that there are constant changes to your surroundings and always something new to see. So even when you’re hiking the same trail, you’ll still see new things!
My adventure this week will be to Aldi and Meijer for the week’s supplies. And online to pay the bills. Not terribly exciting, but it must be done!
Sometimes it feels good just to get stuff done!
Love the fall photos, Brandi. This is the last weekend for summer activities at the ski area, so we’re going to take our mountain bikes up this afternoon. Should be a gorgeous day.
Oh, that sounds fun! I hope it was a great day!!
Just got home and showered. Had a great time – just one little oopsy. Might be a tad sore for a few days. Comes with the territory. I’m not very skilled at the downhill style of riding, yet.
You’re doing better than me! I always admire the mountain bikers that I see out on the trail but could never keep myself upright and alive! So glad you had fun!!
