Fall adventures!

 

( A day late, since Blogger decided to act up last night and not let me post photos. )

This week I have been working on a quilt and another project that will be done by next week. Our church is having a yard sale, so I spent a lot of time, gathering up items. 

With the nice weather and fall foliage, I am enjoying getting out, to get some exercise and enjoy the beautiful colors. Last Friday we went to a pond that has a nice trail around it. 

The colors were popping all over.

After we finished the hike, we drove up to another area that has a trail to a rocky cliff. We ended up taking longer since I took the wrong trail, then got to the right one and took the wrong path, but we finally got to the right path and enjoyed the short hike up. 

The next day we went to pick up the boys but got our signals crossed and they weren't home. So, we went to a nearby area, the boyscout camp, to do a short hike. We ended up going around the whole pond, which can be quite the hike in some areas. Lots of old log bridges, planks and rocks.

lt was Quite the hike, but beautiful views and a nice stop at the rocks for a snack break. When we came off the path, we walked to the smaller pond.

Yesterday we went for a ride to a local pond and enjoyed the views. It was a cloudy day with some sun, so a lot of the photos went dark and it is hard to get the full effect of the beauty, of the fall leaves.

We walked along part of the bike path. They still have not leveled it out and there are a lot of areas that have caved in, but still nice to walk on.

Then we rode into Connecticut to check out the farms in the area. I thought this barn was a nice scene with a bit of fall to the side.

Then we headed to Mt. Misery. In this area, farmers were giving land and nothing would grow and with all the bad luck, they blamed the devil and moved away. We hiked up the steep side, which I forgot was steep and rough.

But, we made it to the top.

Beautiful views for miles, but hard to capture all the colors.

I decided my knees couldn't take going back down the steep side, so we took the easy way back, an old fire road. It was nice getting out and the air is fresh and cool now. I hope you all enjoyed your week and following along with me, on my adventures.
