Hiking

Spreading The News

An elderly man entered into a confessional booth:

Man: “I am 82 years old, and have a wonderful wife of 60 years; many children; grandchildren; and even a couple of great grandchildren.

Yesterday, I picked up two college girls, hitchhiking. For some reason, they thought I was kind of interesting. One thing led to another, and we ended up at a motel where I had sex with each of them twice.”

Priest: “Are you sorry for your sins?”

Man: “What sins?”

Priest: “What kind of a catholic are you?”

Man: “I’m Presbyterian.”

Priest: “Why are you telling me all this?”

Man: “I’m telling everybody!“

Controlled Burn – September

Our re-entrance into the woods meant a revisit to our controlled burn area. It has been since June, so at first I couldn’t remember which stub I stood on to get the original photo. Not taking any chances I took pictures from 2 different ones. I should have taken more than one shot at each stump though, because if you compare the two you can see my point of view is a little different…

Mr. Fletcher’s Ride – July/August

Mr. Fletcher's Ride - July/AugustAlthough we have quite a bit of warm weather left to come our way, it has finally cooled enough so that mornings will let us go for a hike in the woods again. So for the first time in a couple months we went for a hike in Hitchcock Woods. This picture is very similar to June’s shot except for the angle of the sun, so we are going to call this July and August’s photo and will try and get back for a September one later this month. Looking southwest at the corner of Mr. Fletcher’s Ride and an unnamed path about 1/2 mile in from our usual entry point.

Mr. Fletcher’s Ride – May

We went walking a little later in the day today, around 9:30 – 10 AM, because we have had an unseasonably cool weekend and sleeping in late on a Sunday is a good thing. That accounts for the different lighting making the trees appear much greener than April’s picture.

Mr. Fletcher’s Ride – April

Three weeks since our last visit and spring has sprung inside the woods. We stumbled on a couple of clusters of wild azaleas that were blooming while we walked and the dogwoods were still mostly in bloom (if you look down the trail to the right you can see one.)
