A Walk in the Woods with Friends

I have known Heather and Tammy now for well over 10 years, but it’s been a while since we last all got together. Thanks to Heather for organizing this: we all met at the Eagle River Nature Center last weekend for a wonderful stroll through the woods!

The weather could not have been better – it was chilly, but with proper clothing we had no problem. Honestly, we all warmed up a bit along the way, so ended up peeling off layers. We had all planned for that, however, so it did not hinder us in the slightest.

Both Tammy and Heather had their dogs along with them, and both dogs did very well. Several other people were on the trails along with us, most of whom also had their own dogs with them. Thankfully all the meet-ups were congenial with no problems.

I have to admit this is my least favorite time of year. The trees have all dropped their leaves and everything looks so “dead” and dismal. I know, I know… it’s the natural progression of nature and winter will soon cover everything in a blanket of white.

But it’s always good to visit with friends!
