Springtime walks

As the snow has disappeared, we've started taking more and more walks in the beautiful country around our home...I'm getting ready for a hiking trip with friends next weekend, so I've been dragging Gail and Ben and Miles all over the place to do some practice hikes...


We went on a couple of great ones last weekend, including this one along a retired railroad bed between Bloomingdale and Onchiota...this beaver-meadow made a nice stopping point about 2 miles in...


Gail and Ben were watching Miles explore the muddy swamp, enjoying some GORP, and watching the clouds puff along...

Miles was stalking some ducks and following a ton of smells around the pond, and along the trail...



We are so lucky to have found Miles, and love having him in our lives...
