Back from the Woods

Last week I went camping in my beloved Catskill Mountains.

Upon arrival there was sun but that quickly changed

as rainy days and nights followed, but I don't mind the rain...

Puddle Rain

A dark day of heavy downpours as a 

cloud sat down on the mountain.

I spent the morning making polymer clay acorns

to be used as stitch markers in my knitting.

Reading, knitting, napping 

and homemade veggie soup.

A beautiful day

Back Roads and Hawks

I woke up this morning intending to go for a hike at Jacobsburg State Park.

Unfortunately, I left my car's headlights on over night and drained the battery.

After roadside assistance came and gave me a jump

I decided to make the drive to the park anyway.

(what better way to recharge the battery!)

I didn't stop for fear the car may not restart 

but instead drove around the backroads for a while.

I saw a Broad Wing and a Marsh Hawk along with my usual Red Tails.

It's migration season and they like to follow the mountain chain South.

ps. the car battery is recharged and working fine now
