We usually wait to climb it until the leaves burst out in all their autumn glory.
But this girl is learning, albeit slowly,
that sometimes you (I) need to flex
and take advantage of whatever opportunity presents itself.
All five of us home and available on Labor Day?
Let's do it!
And so, while it was different than times past,
we were blissfully together.
As we've done so many years before,
we climbed the tower
and took in the sights.
We were even unexpectedly blessed by a bagpiper atop the tower.
And we hiked the purple trail,
the one that---once upon a time---produced little boys with tired legs
and cries to be carried.
Now, strong and able, they blazed the trail before us.
It was a soul-stirring visual for this mama's heart.
Everything is looking a little different these days,
but it's nonetheless glorious and beautiful.
