Absolutely breathtaking

It's the smell that I loved the most. What a gorgeous day. 76 degrees, peak color...it was a crime to stay home today. Rails to Trails was today's destination - 57 miles of an old railroad bed that has been converted to a biking/walking/hiking/running trail. We biked all of 5 miles (2.5 up and 2.5 back). John had the seat on the back of his bike and I had the caboose on mine. Our dear friend Richard got to go solo.
After our glorious bike ride, we were off to Little Pine State Park where the boys played at the beach and waded in the water (even though the sign clearly said not to).
And the best part of the day? The photo above. Aahh, life is good. Hope all of you had great weekends too.

I never would have guessed I would be up to my knees in Pine Creek Dam water, in October. I never would have guessed I would have a mild sunburn, from biking, in shorts, in October. Thanks for inviting me. I needed to get out. How did you know I needed to be around friends today?

In my case it was not a crime to stay home today. The mountain was beautiful and I worked in my garden. There are still so many vegetables to harvest(in October?) and I made vegetable soup.
