A change in the weather – a change in plans.

I drove to Corky’s farm today to pick blueberries – thinking it might be okay to do that in the rain. Well no – not such a good idea.

Instead, I went home and cleaned and did laundry and worked all afternoon in the garden once it had cleared up.

Thrilled about the rain. Perfectly okay with blueberries on the weekend. Just a change in plans – I have found that it’s best to be flexible that way.

I started a discussion today with some of the executive of our hiking club about publicizing our hiking trails. The traffic is getting pretty bad.

My opinion? Less publicity. The feedback so far: people are going to find the trails anyway and maybe that’s okay because they’ll fall in love with the outdoors and become stewards. I wish that were true. In my experience, more crowds equals trashing of the landscape.

The discussion continues.
