Summer is coming to a close in NE Iowa...Temperatures are dropping and the wind is picking up. Yesterday my lovely daughter and I took Macy for a two mile stroll. Geese were flying over our heads and pine cones were falling from treetops on to the walking trail beneath our feet. Along the way we played kick the cone (our version of kick the can) for 1.2 miles which must be a world record. The trail we were on follows alongside a road. Cars drove beside us. People waved and smiled. I wondered what they were thinking. Where they thinking about their youth? Their children? Their parents? or where they just hoping we didn't kick our pine cone out in the street and run after it?
What free, fun, outside activities do you like to do this time of year?
Don't forget to go to Amy's blog launch party on Wednesday! (P.S. THE IRON BODKIN is now available on Amazon.com and for you Kindle folks, you can get it here!)
