vaneramosHave Rodrigo's Concierto Andaluz playing on the car stereo. Drive through open countryside on a sunny afternoon with the windows down and wind blowing in your hair.
Stop by a row of flowering crabapples and let your children climb in the branches. Inhale the fragrance and catch the glow of light through the blossoms.
That's what we did today on the way home from Starkey Hill Trail.
Thanks to Advil Cold and Sinus tablets my congestion and scratchy throat have receded into the background. This morning we decided to go hiking, and the sky cleared wonderfully for us.
We drove to Starkey Hill Trail, which winds for 4 km (2.5 mi) through steep moraines and maple woods. Marian and Brenna are energetic troopers when they have the chance to explore new territory.
Brenna scouted far ahead, giving Marian and me some time to bond and admire woodland flowers. The forest floor was speckled with white and painted trillium, large-flowered bellwort, spring-beauty and dogtooth violet. The air was full of the songs of warblers and orioles.
