Covid-19 has delayed or canceled pretty much all group activities. And one such casualty was the annual First Day Hike.
A tradition where a group, sometimes large, sometimes not so large (seems to vary with the temperature), gathers for a pleasant (again somewhat temperature dependent) morning stroll.
It was sunny but cold. The bogs frozen over and snow covered. It did make a convenient shortcut for some critter, a deer perhaps.
We passed some ruins ...
... Rome or Florence ...
... I don't recall which. Fanciful names for where the farm laborers lived back in the day.
The Lichens caught my eye.
My to do list has a "learn local lichens" entry on it. Still unchecked ...
This pretty much summed it up.
Here's hoping we can get together and freeze our butts on January 1, 2022.
