The trails have names now, so we took the Nipissing, Middle, and Algoma Trails for a loop of about 4.4 miles.
This passes Nordhouse Lake which is often completely dry at this time of year. Three years ago in October, it still had water. Not this year!
Loved this line of ferns
And a gnarly oak tree. Looks spooky enough for October, right?
The witch hazel is in full bloom, and the sun made it look great.
There was even one branch with a fruit from last year still attached.
Managed to do some work, hike, do bell practice, get groceries, and go to the hardware store. Starting to get in gear to get back to writing the next mystery.
Here is the second bell choir piece from Sunday, "This is My Father's World." I think it's one of the prettiest pieces we've ever done.
I've made it to tired. Didn't sleep well last night.

That looks like a really nice place. It always amazes me how trees can grow like that.
