Good Morning!
And Happy November! There is a rosy tint to the sky this morning and...drumroll...our cars are wet and there is rain on our windows!! Woo-Hoo! No measurable amount, and nothing falling right now, but it was wonderful to see.
Can anyone guess how many trick or treaters we had? Exactly None! Happy I didn't go overboard on buying candy.
Yesterday was an absolutely gorgeous day. I set out a little before 10 a.m. and went to a section of the Perkiomen Trail that I had not walked previously. I parked off Route 113 and then walked toward Schwenksville. Very soon I came upon a magnificent tree:
A swamp White Oak which I have never heard of. The tree's diameter was measured at just over 5.5' in 2021!
The trail itself was rather nice, though it veered away from the water and closer to the road than I like. There were a lot of folks out walking and biking, but it did not feel crowded. A little bit after the tree I came upon some small railroad tracks:
Turns out it is the track of a "live steam" rail. Their "run days" are only the 4th Sunday of June, July and August from 10-3. Might be fun to check it out next summer.
This was the first time I had managed to get out to walk in quite a long time. I managed to go a little over a mile and by the time I got back to my car my back was screaming...I need to build my strength back up.
Today I need to tackle laundry, the kitchen floor and the bathrooms. Not as pleasant a day as yesterday for sure, but needed. Here's hoping that your Friday...and your weekend...are filled with good things. Enjoy!
