Wednesday Walk

 The walking group went a bit farther afield on the 5th last week. We drove south to walk around Kezar Lake in Sutton, NH.  It was a very gray day though the rain held off for us. The walk was mostly level and took us almost 3 miles and an hour and a quarter to walk.














This is definitely a summer spot.  Lots of big vacation homes.


And an inn. 



The six who took the walk went on from here to New London to lunch but first choice was closed, and second choice had too long a line. Three of us who had carpooled found another spot that was not crowded and enjoyed ourselves.  From there we went to see a bog and were glad we did.






The ground cover was brilliant and we did spot cranberries.







And these were a surprise: pitcher plants.


It was a grand day.

Today I'm in charge of choosing the walk.  More on that another time.

View from Here

 Going to and from church in Hanover, NH we were entranced by the fall colors. Photographs really can't capture it all but I did manage these pics on the way home with a stop first at Patch Farm for cider and cider doughnuts and the view west to Vermont.

A Question

 So here's the question for all you fellow bloggers:

If something were to happen to you and you couldn't blog to tell us, how would your readers know?

In my case I told my husband he would have to write something on my blog.  He says he'll likely not be around and I'd better ask one of our daughters to do it.

This has come to mind because John of By Stargoose and Hanglands hasn't posted anything since July 31st.  I posed the question to him in a comment within the last month asking if he was ok and my comment didn't even show up.

I know others of you have read and commented on his blog, so I wondered if you knew anything about John.

Photos by the Granddaughter

 I gave my camera to my granddaughter to take photos on Sunday.  Though she didn't always have them in focus she captured the colors of the season.











She even took my picture.
