We went to a place called Saint Ann's Convent.
It's a beautiful piece of property.
This, the second picture, is the driveway. To the end and at the left
is a huge red brick building.
It's a really pretty site to see in real life.
The trails are beautiful.
Pictures don't do justice though so I quit taking them........plus I wanted to concentrate on the hike! Son likes to be my guide. He tells me the names of the trees and plants, shows me animal foot prints and their markings on tree trunks..........points out deer when he sees them.....even pointed out some fox poop.....and gives me a little history on the property. It's fun..............the hike wasn't very challenging..........I like to break a sweat and have to work at the hike...........didn't have to on this trail.........but still it was nice. The leaves falling in the woods sound like rain...was a pleasant sound....I want to go back and camp.........I don't think we'd get caught.........son agreed to camp there with me this spring.

After we finished the first hike we went to another of their (catholic church) properties.........
It was a little scary because I could hear the deer hunters on near by properties shooting their guns.
This property had some great Beech trees....farmers grew them and used them for fuel and fire. Apparently they are easy to split and they burn long......the farmers pigs ate the nuts that fall from the beech trees........we looked for nuts but the squirrels had gotten to them already............
Found this on one of the trees..........humans have to leave their mark, good and bad, on everything it seems..............anyways...we hiked several miles.........and as always it felt good to be out there in the woods............a fat red bird followed us at the second place. :O) Mom loved the red birds that came to her backyard.
