We were treated to two full days of summer like weather this weekend!
So I gifted myself to 2 hikes at Mills Block Conservation area that is within walking distance from my home. I have always enjoyed the hike on the back loop, but always felt I should have someone with me…though I have always wondered about walking it on my own.
Well this weekend I did it and it was truly glorious, hiking at my own pace with only the sounds of nature. Don’t get me wrong, I love hiking with others. Hiking on my own felt a little scary to be honest…in the end it was exhilarating!!
Oh the wonderful smell of Autumn! I have always loved the sound of walking through the fallen leaves this time of year!

There are so many different sites to see on this hike…

The beavers have been busy. A couple of weeks ago when my grandson and I hiked we were able to watch the Mom and her babies busy at work.

My Longarm and I have been back to our usual busy routine, today though I am treating myself with some piecing time in my sewing room…I am working on the first block from Tara Faughnans Block Studies Season 4.

My first Glow Block…

Today I plan to finish the curved block and maybe work on quilting them as well.
