Today's Adventures

[ysabetwordsmith]

We went out to Warbler Ridge for hiking.  We tried the shorter trail to the cemetery but it was blocked by a fallen tree.  :/  The longer trail was more than I could handle in summer, but we did make a fair distance and saw lots of interesting wildlife.  There was a chipmunk on the way in, and an indigo bunting and a goldfinch driving back out.  We saw yellow coneflowers, purple coneflowers, Queen Anne's lace, frost asters, rattlesnake master, lavender beebalm, and a variety of other wildflowers.  Some spring ephemerals were in the forest -- the mayapples had fruit, and there was a trillium still visible.  I took lots of pictures.  I don't know if I'll have time to post them, though, as I'm still writing for the fishbowl. 

After that, we stopped for supper with some friends.  We ate at a pavilion in the park in town.  That was nice.

I hope you post because I need my midwest-green-in-summer scenery views (104 degree heat hereabouts.) :S The day sounds delightful.
