Weekly update: three hikes and a finish

 

I planned to do the Hike Lake County trails systematically, starting with those farthest away and ending with those closer to home.   That didn't quite work out -- the most-farthest is yet to come -- but we did go to the next-to-farthest as well as two others sort-of-far.  Two on Friday:  Cuba Marsh and Heron Creek.  

Ripe blackberries at Heron Creek.  I left my cap in the car.  If I'd had it I would have harvested more than a handful. 

One on Sunday:   Fourth Lake/Millennium Trail.  This was something of a cop-out because it was mostly an asphalt path through a subdivision.

The Kamala banner was too wide for the front door and the screen door obscured it.  After some finagling to stabilize the edges (leftover molding top and bottom, broken-off yardsticks on the sides) I got it hung from the nail that holds the Christmas wreath. 

The yew bushes need trimming.

The back.   (The cat batik was one of several similar hand-prints from Barb M's ongoing estate sale.) 

I stayed up too late last night reading a good book, so I woke up later than usual, and now I'm late for my shift setting up the church rummage sale.  Gotta go!
