Thankful Sunday, November 10, 2019

I am thankful for a walk in the woods.

Yesterday was a beautiful fall day. Frost in the morning with warming to the 40's in the afternoon. The perfect day for a walk in the woods. While visiting family, the opportunity presented itself for this walk and I gladly accepted. 

So for the quiet and calm walk I took yesterday in the woods, I am thankful.














And a little later...


Note:
There's a great book by Bill Bryson called A Walk in the Woods that chronicles his attempt to hike the entire Appalachian Trail. The book is typical of Bryson who tells the story with humor and an occasional diversion into a lot of facts about a related subject. I have read it twice.

A couple of years ago, Robert Redford starred in a movie made based on the book which I didn't like as well as the book. The movie made a love story a main focus that was only a very small part of the book. I thought the interesting, fun part is his hiking partner and his foibles not to mention what it's like hiking for months on end.
