The weekend

We had a fun weekend! Bob's nephews son came on Saturday and stayed until Sunday evening. It was so fun having a little person around again. The house was full of activity and noise. :)

He's a cute little guy, very agreeable and funny. There was a lot of laughter around here!

~~~

Sunday afternoon the temperature was in the 60's, so I called my sister Cheri and asked if she wanted to go for a hike. We went to a park that neither of us had walked at before.

The leaves this year have been unusual. It seems that a lot of them have fallen already, but then there are areas that look mostly green, as you see in this picture and the one below.






Here is a little splash of color.




As we were walking, we came on this crazy little building. When we went to the front of it, we discovered it was an old two seater outhouse!




Aren't these cool roots?




In this area of the park, many of the leaves had fallen, with this one tree still holding out!




I love this bridge!




This picture looks like it was taken with a fish eye lens, but this is really how it looked. The park was full of hills and ravines - we did our fair share of hiking up long, steep hills!





This is my street - back home again, another weekend done.
Thanking God for time with family and time to enjoy the beauty around us!

PS - no baby yet!!!

  18. Great photos of some interesting sights along your path. (I miss my Michigan hikes SO much.)

    The personality of the little guy shines through those two photos....
