At the Old Red Mill Park, Again

It was a quick stop. We had just finished lunch with friends at J-Cat across the road. "Let's go to the park," our friend said.

The Old Red Mill Park in Jericho is one of my favorite places. There's a one-half mile trail through a wooded area that loops along the Browns River. We didn't hike the trail today, but we enjoyed the scenery where it begins.

Ferns growing in a wetland area.

There are a lot of huge rocks in the river with the waters flowing over them. 

Of course, there is the old mill, now housing an historical museum, including the Snowflake Bentley Exhibit. 

Just stopping here even for a short time today reminds me that I must return
soon, and to hike the loop.

What a beautiful day in Vermont today to spend with good friends.

(Looking back on my posts, I see that I took photos and wrote about
coming here in 2012: The Old Mill Park. Ten years ago! And several
visits since.) 

Happy Springtime!

It Feels LIke Summer

It's Spring, but it sure feels like summer today! I think it's finally safe to put away the boots and bring out the sandals.

Geo and I have been walking on our local recreation path.

After a long winter,
it's good to see the trees
leafing out again.

Warm Spring days hold the promise of many more pleasant Summer warm days ahead. 

I'm feeling very grateful for a change of seasons, and for many rec path walks ahead of us.   😊
