Wonderful trail-walking day. Cool enough for a sweatshirt and a jacket with a hat and gloves. Breezy, but not the wind of a couple of days ago. Did a long walk without Sallie and a couple of shorter ones with her (she does so love to walk).

Here's a photo of -- well, I don't know. I thought maybe it was in the bittersweet family, but apparently, both the native and the oriental bittersweets are vines -- and this was on a shrub. Plus the fruit "shell" here is bright pink  rather orange. So... I don't know. Marty?? Anyone? (I don't recall noticing the flower)

Thank you, all -- I might use this one for note cards.

Maureen, I've always enjoyed the trail, but with the addition of the across-the-creek leg it's much less monotonous to get extra steps. Drawback is the newer trail isn't "walked down" well yet and is harder on my feet.

Susan well the more you walk the new trail, the kinder to your feet it will be, maybe some heavy hiking boots would do the trick,

I bought some new boots, which promptly gave me blisters! Well, Kaye told me to wear two pairs of socks, which I've begun doing... but the feet are still tender :)

Susan when you go walking again apply petroleum jelly to your feet, stops the friction which causes the blisters, it works

I like the pic.   I did plant some native bittersweet this fall.  It is in a place that I don't care if it takes over.  I love decorating with it in the fall.   I opens like a bittersweet  but the cover and the berry are both orange.    Let us know if anyone figures out what that is.  Would it be a nice cutting twig to decorate with.

The weather has been beautiful latey, hasn't it?  I don't know what this is, but it is a nice photo.
