Hi all, We had a nice group of TOWNIES today, Lisa, Effie, Jacque, Kim, Leigh, Janice, Jody and Marsha, along with Super Power Dogs Junko and Sheba, who were eagerly searching for the Easter bunny. We did not find the bunny, but we did hear Easter birds, especially cardinals, and see an Easter squirrel. We started in a slight mist, which settled the oak pollen in theory, but actually the oak pollen covered the world in a yellow-green cast of color. It was difficult to see through the pollen haze as we skipped along the trails, venturing into the world of the greenbelt for a 4.4 mile hike. The creek was mostly dry, except for some small stagnant pools of water, attracting few visitors except for a solitary bird every now and then who ventured forth to see the water. Flowers remained in bloom, surpassing the week before with variety and a rainbow of color. Bouquets in the air included bluebonnets, cedar sage, primrose, verbena, Eve’s necklace, rain lily, wild onions and the ever-present yellow flowers. We scampered on home only to be rewarded with Carrot Cake, another creation from Leigh. That may have been the highlight of the hike!
Until next time.. Happy Trails, Marsha
