Forty and cloudy with rain forecast. We hadn't been here in quite some time because of all the snow. Today the parking lot, as well as most of the trails were clear ( only small patches of snow) .
Kelley was excited because it had been so long that there were lots of new smells. There was also lots of water.
The small pond shown on the map.
Still not looking much like spring
We sometimes get off track on these trails but today we actually followed the map to the pond.
More swimming ( pictures of Kelley not focused ), an apple snack, and we made the loop back toward the start.
A reminder
We would have liked more sun but it didn't rain and the woods were pleasant. We met three runners, who stopped and gave Kelley some attention, but otherwise had the woods to ourselves. 2 hours
Although it wasn't sunny, at least you didn't get any rain! Hope spring comes for you soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda- rain held off today until we got home- still patches of snow on the trails
