Ramble: Among the Aspens...

Yesterday we went rambling 4 miles along a path, 33 degrees, starting as the sun was just coming up through gorgeous groves of aspen trees. The day before I'd hiked another vista higher up but they weren't quite yet turning there.  Here I reached out to touch the quivering gold leaves, image-wise, as I captured them digitally, right as the sun began to lick the trees.

We talked and walked, walked and talked.  Nothing like a good ramble for married couple conversation.  We enjoyed our own company. An article yesterday in the NYTimes says that men apparently enjoy being with their parents, while women find time with their mom and dad to be slightly less pleasant than doing laundry.  I dunno.  My mom and dad come next week and I'm looking pretty forward to it.

Online ramble: Working Mother Magazine's  list of top 100 companies to work for? Becky at Deep Muck Big Rake looks into it the p.r. of it all. Most of those companies advertise in the magazine so how real is the list? Now that I am way past taking my children to the potty, I had a good laugh at Antique Mom's story of getting her sunglasses out of the john after holding up her son over the loo.  Go wish Claude a happy 68th -  her birth story is interestng.

Me? I'm hoping to do more hikes as the leaves turn, learning where they turn and when. Isn't it grand to be outside as the seasons change?

Gorgeous picture! I love when the aspens are illuminated. Fall is my favorite hiking season.

It's finally feeling somewhat like fall here. This morning was absolutely glorious. Tomorrow L plays with her quartet at a spot during the Komen race, spurring the runners on!
