Sunday Morning

Sunday morning...
At last, I remembered to take my camera with me on a sojourn through the woods. The morning haze was lifting with the sun as I headed out the door.
We live one mile from the eastern perimeter of Cuivre River State Park, which offers many trails to choose from.
There is newer trail spur that leads to a parcel of land, which I'm told was donated by a family who spent summers in the area until a decade ago. This spot overlooks a lake filled with jumping fish.
Picnic shelters in varying states of decay are sprinkled across the little peninsula, as well as a bathhouse and garage. It's intriguing, and a little spooky, to visit the remnants of their summer place.

My weekend plans

1. Plant flowers and mulch beds.
2. Unpack, re-organize, and set up my sewing room! The basement repairs are complete, and I'll be able to sew for the first time in seven weeks!
3. Go to the St. Louis Art Museum's quilt exhibit: Quilts in a Material World. This will be my Mother's Day treat!
4. Finish the book I'm reading: The Rules of Survival. (I have an advance copy through my school's library club.)
5. Go for a six-mile hike (or run, preferably, if my knee can handle it). We're lucky enough to live within a mile of a beautiful state park with many trails to choose from or combine.
