Longer Trail Walk

Greetings to all!  It's me, Maggie!  Over the weekend, I took Mom on another long walk.  You know -- "a tired biped is a good biped" and all that!  Anyway ... we headed up the hills to the Hudson Trail.  I thought the sky and sunrise looked especially pretty:

"Oooh, dig that sunrise, Mom!"

I thought I should hop up on the chunk of limestone up ahead!

"Hang on - let me do my serious face!"

I was hoping for something more dignified.  Mom took another shot:

Me!  Polargold's Margaret Thatcher

Totally the look I was going for!

We walked a leg of the trail we frequently take, then instead of doubling back or looping around through the neighborhood, I proposed something else!

"Let's head up this hill!"

It's the last leg of the trail that's paved and it's tons of fun!  It has LOTS of hills; I know my mom loves walking hills!  Here are a couple action shots:

Eventually, we got to where the paved part ends and the dirt part starts.  It was SUPER muddy and I thought it would be a blast to walk that part!  Mom seemed to disagree.  Fair enough, since it would have meant me getting a b-a-t-h when we got home.

Sometimes, there are horses in the field to my left.  I looked for them:

"Horse friends?!?  Are you out there?"

They must have been in the house.  Maybe still in bed -- it was early.

Anyway, it was a great walk and tired Mom out pretty well.  I don't remember her getting into any mischief, at least.  Of course, I was kind of tired myself, so I'm not 100% sure ...

Thanks for coming with us!

Yours sincerely,

Margaret Thatcher
