Hike.

Before this mellow fall completely winds down and the trees are completely bare we went out into the woods. And kicked through pathways of wet, ankle deep leaves. And watched the squirrels and the birds in their frenzy of foraging. And breathed in the soon to be dormant scents of mud and moss.

It was grand.

A few ragged blooms left out there.

These have been on permanent rotation lately.

I may have bribed someone into walking 4+ miles with the promise of hot chocolate in the woods.
