Strange as it seems, it snowed last night! When we got out of the car to begin, I thought it felt like one of the colder days we have hiked yet this year, as it was cloudy and a little windy. Turned out that once we got moving and generating our own heat it was not too bad, and when the sun came out we actually overheated since we were all ‘winterized’ in the clothes we were wearing. Another all road hike with Robin joining us again. Robin is great as she keeps Wendy company up front while April and I lag in the back. The weather and surrounding woods made this a quieter hike, much of it skirting around the perimeter of the military base in Ravenna. It was a good day for budding flowers and BIRDS- blue birds, Baltimore orioles, rose-breasted grosbeaks, gold finches, downy woodpeckers and a ton of turkey vultures feasting on less fortunate animals. Those are some pretty impressive birds up close! By the end it had become a perfect day to hike!
