Jean-Guy
led six ladies and one gentleman
around the loop, on the west side of Sheriff Lake
a lovely lady, who recently returned from Florida,
volunteered as a sweep.
the water was high
" it was perfect weather for meandering
around different spots on the lake shore "
It was " a hike of many conversations "
" I never knew where I was, I was always lost ... "
" Listening to the sound
of the pileated woodpecker
and wondering,
how do they do that? "
" the sound of water falling, was very nice "
" feeling the energy of the forest,
something that can't be felt in the city "
" good company, lots of conversation "
a least bittern flew off
as our site for the "cookie break" was claimed
an abandoned raven nest, a squawking tree,
and a strong suggestion " to walk and talk "
" Blue sky and sunshine wrapped up the hike "
which saw a temperature of 7 degrees at the beginning
and ended with 12 .
" No sheep were lost, we're all good! "
