Gathering Walk

The Gathering Walk This is a walk I'd been planning this one for a week or so. I headed out to the corner and only made it half way to the first block I had to go back for got something, back home I grabbed two bags there were pine, fir and spruce cones I wanted to gather along the street there were dove feathers I'd spotted the other day. I found some cedar hedge trimmings from yard work done earlier in the week I spotted and that was a true find to add to the fragrant woodsy smell I was after.

Today the weather was perfect 68* clear blue skies the kind of weather I love to walk in. Twenty minutes later after the loop the first part of my gathering adventure was done I had to come by the house to shed my sweater.

I was off to the next part of my walk about a half mile down the road there was a walnut tree I was heading for English walnuts, and further down the lane black walnuts I was after nuts and shells, for craft supplies I scooted my feet in bright yellow leaves as I walked along just like I remembered doing as a kid walking home from school it was such a great feeling.

I have a potpourri recipe for fall I want to try I found it in a December magazine how you could do that and then let it sit the three weeks needed and get it ready for the holidays is beyond me but I was able to start early and will be trying this next.
