Hi All, 

We had 6 TOWNIES today, Debbie, Carolyn,  Kim, Lisa S, Lisa F and Marsha, who were joined by Abby and Junko, the wander dogs.

The weather was perfect with a cool morning that was only tickled with fingers of heat as we climbed in elevation the last mile. It was hard to recall the sweating in the summer sun, lest we forget.

We were treated to a pallet of colors that painted our morning with hues of bright green that gracefully glowed from the moss that was on the ground and in the trees, only to be, perhaps, outdone by the autumn splendor of rust and red as the trees are daintily changing color to showcase their range of beauty throughout the year. Oh, not to be outdone, the cedar elms lazily rained their golden splendor as they floated their tiny leaves to the ground.  

Our steps were muffled by the carpet of leaves, which really didn’t muffle our steps, but broadcasted our steps with a whisper of the crunching leaves.

Not to be outdone,  the Fall  asters laughingly poked their heads up between the golden trees to give us a glance of purple that can only be matched by the setting  sun.

Perfect time of year with perfect TOWNIES. 

Until next time…..

Happy Trails, 

Marsha
