Winter into Spring

As Winter melts into Spring...

Today as I was hiking out with my boys, I noticed how the ground was changing, that I was no longer hiking in 6 inches of snow.

Winter melting into spring

 I  also realized that I am heading out earlier in the morning trying to stay away from the ground thawing out and becoming a sloppy mess, mud season!

Today as we were hiking, my adventurous self got the better of me.  Just a couple hundred yards at the end of our hike with  somewhat clean dogs... a new trail got my curiosity. I just had to go venture down that trail...or did I.

Although it wasn't quite as bad as the picture above...the trail ended up being a sloppy mess in-which I've been trying to stay away from. Once we we're on it for 50' or so, I committed to it. We followed it 100 yards until it thankfully headed uphill. Although the dogs got a little muddy, my curiosity to the trail did enable me to have a nice view of the hills to the north through the tornado stricken forest. Is that Mount Monadnock in the distance?

Hills of MA?
