Waiting for Warm

Like everyone else

I'm waiting for Warm.

The beginning of the week it was almost 70 degrees.

The pupster and i walked some looong trails.

(yep. forgot to carry a camera . . . sigh)

Two days later the roads are covered in ice

and we wait for our next outing.

Listening to a talk

Grabbed some colored pencils

and got carried away.

my brain started squakin'

"put the pencils down!"

Walkin' My Pupster - Babler

This way

We drove past all the buildings to a State Park.  People call it Babler Park.  It's named after Dr. Edmund A, Babler.  The place is large and we'll enjoy visiting over & over again.

That way

There are super Steep Hills and some challenging trails.

There's Camping, and Parks and . . Learning Centers . . the visitor center was closed for the season  . . . peeking inside it looks like there's a lot to discover.

Let's Just Go!

I haven't found a picture of Dr. Babler.  People love and respect him. His obituary tells a mighty story of service.  Here's the link.

 

We'll visit several times

and report back.

It's always good to walk with your "Bestie."

Ink Report

So many of us . . all around the world . . . spending a month drawing in ink

I imagined hearing a mega-voice calling out "Pens Down!"

Like school testing days.

I learned a lot

may learn about new tools and methods

to try again next year.

Every once in a while I'd go back to a drawing and color it in . . . 

(shhh, don't tell)

 

 Today I picked up a pencil (yay!)

But, i also used a Pitt Artist Pen for the first time (phooey)

perhaps I've gone mad

(giggle)

Okay, I'm off to find "inky" music

The year of "suddenly."

Now it is "Suddenly" chilly

and will rain heavily for a day or so

It's okay.

My pup and i are happy walking trails

wet or dry

Here's a peek from a Fall Garden Visit

Surely this "Suddenly" 

will cause a new season to display

Last visit I found myself interested in pathways

as you can imagine

in a large, world class botanical garden

there are plenty of pathways

i suppose life is a little like that

but - this thought is too big for me today

 I did stop in a new exhibit.

the people were nice

but

surprised to see me

i was glad to get back outside

(perhaps a story for another day - okay, maybe not 😉)

Thank you for taking time to visit today

see you soon.

love & love.
