Seasonal weather has returned, which means long pants and thermal shirt for our Nature Preserve hike today.

Sunshine helped to offset a chilly wind, and the mid-autumn light added another dimension of beauty and delight to the rocks, plants, trees, and vistas.

We are so very fortunate to have such unspoiled places not far from home. The stillness and deep connections with the Earth offer balance and meaningfulness in a world where madness increases very quickly.
