Hiking, Lunch, and Fun at Gail’s Sycamore Creek
We forged ahead with the plans to get together June 5 at Sycamore Creek, despite the changing weather forecast.
We set up for inside and outside just in case. The day was the best!
Once everyone arrived, we met outside for introductions. So fun to hear from everyone and meet many new members. We especially enjoyed Kay’s party song and dance! Thirty-six TOWN-Austin members and Koby’s daughter were present.
It sure was a joyous time to reunite in person and catch up. We had lunch outside then hiked “Gail’s Trail”. Some of the group stayed behind to visit under the tarps. The birders brought their binoculars.
Gail’s husband, Thomas, showed the Top Bar bee hive he built and how it works. We will buy bees next year. We looked at the flower garden for the bees, then went to see the Purple Martin babies as the adult Purple Martins flew around us. Several got to see one of the foxes who came for food. We did see a few deer, but most of them stayed away.
Then several TOWNies dug up some barrel cactus and hopefully some picked up some rocks for their garden.
A fun time was had by all! I so enjoyed seeing all the happy faces and being able to hug again. Thank you all for coming out to the hill country. You all made it a special day!
