Picture perfect morning

This morning I went on a walk with a friend in a local park, where there is a 4.3 mile loop that winds through woods, along a creek, and along side a corn field. It was a brilliant morning, so I took some pictures:




This is a benign looking KILLER HILL




Note the field of dead corn stalks to the left of this tree. The colors are berries, not leaves. Any idea what kind of tree this is?




Unbelievably beautiful light on the water. And the sound of the water moving is all around.











I could post more, but you get the idea. I hope you have a place to see such natural beauty. I never go to this park where I don't have a spiritual experience of some kind. We were lucky this morning, because when we started out, it was very cloudy. By the time we got to the park, the sun was moving in and out of light clouds, making this a perfect day for a photo op.

After the walk, I stopped at the local Farmers' Market to pick up some fruit.
Here's what I got! It's hard to say goodbye to summer fruits and berries, but now we'll have apples and pears, locally grown, and in season. Actually, the peaches here, according to the Lancaster County farmer from whom I purchased these, will likely be the last for this year.

Weekends rock! For many years I had to work weekends, often odd shifts that necessitated me sleeping through the days. I'm grateful to have a job now where I don't have to do that.

On the food front, I'm on solid ground for now, though it's always one day at a time, one right choice at a time. There is healthy food on hand, a husband willing to give me a neck rub, and several new knitting projects waiting. All in all, a good day.
