We spent quite a bit of time going up and down hill, not something I do easily, but it was an excellent walk. There were quite a few wet spots apparently mostly from last week's big rain. We saw quite a few mushrooms and, naturally, I took pix of most of them. We also saw a frog [we really are desperate for wildlife] and John tried to help me get its pic. Sorry John, I got nothing.
Five people went to the Palace Diner in Poughkeepsie after the walk. I wanted to check out the Beatrix Farrand garden which is on the estate grounds. It supposedly is open daily from 7 to sunset but there didn't seem to be anyone there. Maybe next time.
