Another mild, beautiful day and Miriam decides she's going walkies in the shrubbery. She can't seem to sleep until very late (about 2:00 am) and it's driving her nuts as someone who normally goes to bed by about 11:00. Anyway, she figured a little stroll might get things back in order. So off to the Beech Forest. At the beginning of the walk, just near the entrance to the town dump, there's this helpful sign.
She hasn't walked to Herring Cove before, so this seemed like the day to do it. It was about a mile to get to this sign (1.6 km for those who prefer the metric) and then another 2 plus ish miles (3.2 plus ish km) to get back to town at the other end. So she figured that it would tire her out sufficiently to send her to sleep at a decent hour. 6.9 + 1.6 + 3.2 = 11.7 or 12 km if you round it up to include the plus-ish figures. Yep. That should do it.
Here's what we saw:
Squirrel and a bend in the track
Some yellow leaves and a lichen lawn
And then the ocean and on the way home, a beautiful sky...
She slept well that night :-)
