It has been forever and a day since I last posted. I don't have any great excuse...just been taking a break. After all of the Autumn harvesting, I usually take November and December to enjoy the fruits of my labors. Because the cold settles in about then, those months are usually consumed with cozying up, reading good books, eating good food, etc. The warm weather has lasted unusually long for Upstate NY, so I spent much of November and December outside on walks; in sandals no less!
There is a trail near our house that we walk as often as possible. It's an old railroad track, so it is flat and pleasant. The spikes and rails have been long removed, leaving a soft, dirt path. It's used only by bike and pedestrian traffic, so it stays clear and free of street soot. It goes right by a local lake (really a big pond), accompanied by a beaver damn and overhanging trees. I love this trail.
Brian always brings along his camera and takes pictures at the lake. I don't know if I've mentioned that he takes nature photography as a hobby. He's actually quite good at it, in my opinion, but the praise of others has assured him that it's not just me being biased.
We use photography as an excuse to get out and hike. It makes it dual-purpose. So every time we go on a hike, he brings along his camera to catch some pretty thing along the trail.
Anyway, my time of enjoying the fruits of my labors was fun! I enjoyed canned fruit, cozying up despite the warmer weather, reading good books, and got outside alot, which is just about my favorite thing to do.
