A Beautiful Day in my Neck of the Woods ~ Literally

I do live around the woods, not actually IN it. This morning hubby and I went hiking in it. There is a trail right off our backyard. We hiked various trails, and before returning home, we hiked to my favorite place, the waterfall. It’s a sunny warm morning, which I love. Even my hibiscuses love it and are still blooming. Thought you’d enjoy a flower that I expected to be long gone by now.

The warm weather is exciting. Usually we have a freeze which kills everything.

Thanks! The trails cover a huge area and once, hubs, the dog, and I got lost. We were frantic and the dog was useless to help us find our way home.

The place where you live looks a lot like the place where we live. There is a trail right off our garden that goes through the wood along a river, there is a nice little bridge and a waterfall. We love to go hiking there.

That sounds like a great deal! So is your house in an area away from the main city areas? Did you catch any snap of the waterfall?

@DianneN I hope you reached back safely. It gets dark early on from end September so you might need to plan your next trail more carefully and a bit early.

It was nice until it got cloudy in the early evening, rained, got windy, and lost our power. Yes, our house is far from the city in a small town. I posted a photo of the waterfall once in a discussion here. We see it so often that it's not new to me.
