When I am able to do longer hikes around here, I should take my camera. We have quarries and hills, southeast of Cleveland. It's quite unlike the mostly flat area where I grew up, though that had the deep valley of meandering Rocky River.... If that gate were mine it would disturb my soul until I fixed it......Some things I can just ignore, but not that sort of error.Thickethouse.wordpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187303460677067276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-76174476653712135562015-03-09T18:35:10.987+01:002015-03-09T18:35:10.987+01:00I wondered about that Meike but it would have to b...I wondered about that Meike but it would have to be a pretty big opening in something if the gate is the usual field gate size.

I don't mind the cold so much, because you can keep warm by moving, but the wind makes my eyes and nose run, which I find very uncomfortable. I broke my leg last May and I still have a slight limp, but I'm hoping that by the time the summer comes I will be able to walk further.Maggie Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15938216505505274248noreply@blogger.com
