autumn is my time.
i am most radiant and full of energy
when the leaves are falling
and
there is a ghost of change in the air.

I admire your stick-to-it-ness. It’s inspiring. What’s blessing it is to have parks and places where we can restore. Peace.

I imagine it would be hard to find just one favorite in 150 parks. Depending on what one is looking for on a particular day, it seems there would be such a choice of where to go. Like how far one wanted to drive, whether one wanted water or a hike or just to sit & enjoy the view. Or enjoy the silence. What a fabulous choice to make.

You need to walk with at least one other person and engaged in a good conversation, then as the hill gets steeper, the chatter dies out. I’ve just posted about it.
