Backyard Musings

Image
Sometimes when I need a break away from the daily routine, I go to the backyard and breathe.  I slow down and observe.  Sometimes you really need to do this in life. There is so much beauty out there, especially in the small things.  This trip was a lesson in texture, color, vibrance and blooming.  No matter how busy you become in life, remember to take time to breathe!

Worry about loved ones, the virus, financial situations and so many other things. So, what do you do that is safe, social distanced and enjoyable??? Take a hike! Get outside while the getting is good. The crisp smell of autumn and the crunch of leaves is a good way to start any day.  I was able to take a day to drive to Williamsport and go hiking with friends. We hiked some trails out to the Remington Ruins. Beautiful, well maintained trails had my camera clicking!!  I have Googled this location to try to offer some real info, but to no avail. So I will leave you with what the marker at the location read.  "Edward R. Remington, who was the original owner came to Lycoming County in 1843.  He purchased a s...
