September 20 Clarence Fahnestock - Pelton Pond


      Several of our regular walkers had informed me that they had made other plans and I was concerned that we might not have many people at our walk/picnic.  However, I was pleased that fourteen appeared for the walk and twelve stayed to enjoy the picnic.
      It was chilly, overcast and then sunny and we had a nice walk around the pond.  As usual, we had a nice variety of good food and pleasant company...an enjoyable day!!  It was nice to have the security of the pavilion even though we didn't need it. 

An unusual direction for this tree

I'm pretty sure these are wild asters

and a little closer

the trail was "interesting" in some places

How did this happen?

the beavers have been really busy getting ready for winter




there are two "houses" - one for dwelling and one for storage [I've been told]

the larger house

this one is quite a bit smaller


the leaves are beginning to turn
