Today we visited
Lawrence Woods State Nature Preserve in Hardin County. The preserve features one mile of boardwalk deep into the woods passing buttonbush swamps and through mature forest. What a pleasure to walk through the fallen leaves and autumnal trees swaying in the heavy wind, protected by their trunks and branches. We decided that this is a trail to visit often as the seasons change. The boardwalk would nicely screen little feet from mud in the spring rains when the wild flowers and trees are in bloom and the mature trees would be amazing with a nice blanket of snow!
Maddie's eagle-eye spotted this walking stick on the boardwalk. Those guys can really move when a two-year-old is on their trail!
I had no idea that we live so close to a large population of Old Order Amish. The way they harvest their corn makes their fields distinctive this time of year. Many of the homes post signs with the products they have for sale. We didn't have time to get any brown eggs or homemade cheese, but we'll consider that in our timing next trip and be sure we visit a few of these farms.
