Take a Hike!

Sweet summer is coming to a close and we took a family hike the other day to a county park.  First we let Mazie run around with the other little dogs in the dog area then we went on a hike on this amazing day.  The sky was so blue and it was only in the 70s, so it was just perfect.  The weeds are at that full-bloom stage so everything was just bursting, Queen Anne's Lace, milkpods as well as others I can't name.  The air was even different.  As much as I don't want summer to end, the beginning of fall is one of my favorite times of year.

What's your favorite time of year?  Do you look forward to the changing of the leaves or are you already mourning the end of summer?
