After my last post, I set out to start fulfilling one of my NY resolutions: hiking more. Saturday, then, saw my daughter and me out at Schramm SRA.



It was a perfect 49 degrees. The fish ponds were frozen enough to lend to the sense that it was, indeed, winter.






I always love seeing fungi on trees.



It was gorgeous in the woods, and it felt fantastic to be back in the saddle again.



I had picked up a new pair of hiking boots a few months back, so I had to snap a photo of them. 



Geese, geese, everywhere.



Sunday morning, I made a big batch of chicken broth. It's soup, stew, and legume season, after all.



Later that day, my daughter and I went for a hike at Neale Woods.



It was a bit warmer, at 51 degrees, and it felt so good.



A bit shorter but more strenuous than the day before, it was amazing to hike two days in a row. Something I haven't done in quite some time.
And, I also am fulfilling another of my NY resolutions: post here more. Look at me go.

I went back to work this week (boo), but in a way, it was nice to get back to reality. Talk soon, friends.
