Very peaceful day … it’s been warm and overcast all day.. looking like rain.. only really started raining this evening. Diane and I managed to get out for a longish hike around 9:30 this morning. We went from Bolton Notch road back through the Long Trail to home.. about 2.5 hours at a very fast pace. It’s one of our favorite hikes.. .. Today it looked completely different.. the trail was covered with leaves… We saw things we didn’t see during our hikes in the summer or on snowshoes in the winter. Here’s a cool bridge over a stream made by the roots of this tree.. (notice the SamStone on the root) .
We saw fresh beaver activity everywhere.
We stopped for a short rest and snack on the cliffs…
Wetook a hort stop at Duck Brook shelter, too
We dropped off a couple of samstones….
Found our last log entry from Aug 16th…
Then wrote another for the day
We found a couple of puff balls … those are always fun !
We got home and wored around the house for a bit.. then went up and picked up our car on Bolton Notch. I thien went into twon to pick up gabe. On thewy I dropped by firend John’s to pick up two robotic arms he’s donating to me.. They are extrememly cool !
Diane was ona root vegetable kick today.. she put away a ton of beets and carrots.. Every year we find a ‘boy’ carrot like this one .
Around 3 Diane made us all tea and scones.. it was so nice !
I then spent an hour or so putting up pictures in the house.. Here’s a collage of the boys that Max made for diane once… (I love that picture !)
And here’s the ownderful painting that Coco did of Sam as Wonderboy.
Gabe wanted a print of that same picture in his room .
Around 6:30Dinae and I went to Underhill to my freind Peter’s 50th birthday party.
Here’s peter and our freind Liz.
