Rain the last two days and more forecast for today but sunny when we got up so we went to the nearby forest to try to get in a hike.
Clouding up by the time we got started.
There were lots of buttercups about
and water for Kelley
Dandelions gone to seed
and bunchberries
Some of the trails were a bit wet
Once more in the stream before we end our loop
After we did the loop through the woods we went across the road and down to the Stillwater River
Deep enough to swim
There is also a small cove
and another chance for Kelley before we head up the hill and back to the car
Kelley did well and was happy with all the water. There were mosquitoes but no black flies. The rain didn't come until later in the afternoon. A pleasant hike. 1 3/4 hours
Looks like Kelley got a good work out today. Bet she napped good later, huh?
ReplyDeleteShe did well and then slept in the yard while I worked in the yard. - but she has never been one waste energy - if nothing is happening she rests.
DeleteThe buttercups and bunchberries are beautiful. And John, you're the only person that can make a dandelion seed pod look like a GOOD thing!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue

Thank you Marianne - my last posts received so few viewings it didn't seem worth the trouble. Perhaps I'll give it another try
