for the Splendor of the World . . .

The mild weather holds and Indian Summer takes your breath away. A weekend in the timber with temperatures in the 70's, oak trees showing all shades of red, yellow, brown and orange under bright blue skies refreshes the spirit and feeds the soul. We were blessed with that day last Saturday.

Himself and I cut "the West trail" on Saturday morning. We set to, upon arrival, and didn't stop until our company arrived. Beth brought Austin and Jake to spend the day and our first duty was to walk the Trail of the Well. The boys thought we must have walked about 17 miles but in reality it was only about one. One mile with many things to see, beauty all around and youthful exuberance running ahead, leading us up the trail. It was a good day.
