Yesterday, Anne, Gracie and I took advantage of the cool fall day to get out of the house and go of a "hike" (more of a "country walk," really) over familiar ground at Mendon Ponds Park. While the fall foliage was far from peak, there were some pretty trees transitioning and plenty of mud for the dog to tramp through...

Gracie learns to walk along moss-covered trees... with only a fews slips!
