My Town Monday: A Walk on the Towpath Trail
Spring seems to be here in the Village of Peninsula, Ohio, population 601. Things are, as my Dad used to say, greening up. Steve and I took a walk the Towpath Trail last week. It is a beautiful trail, well used by walkers, runners, bikers and deer. Along the trail, we saw vestiges of old homesteads, marked by the plantings of daffodils, pine and fruit trees and foundation stones. Take a look at some of what we saw:
Wander on over to My Town Monday’s chief cook and bottle washer Travis Erwin’s place. You’ll find links to blogs all over the world. Pretty cool stuff.

Is there any prettier color than moss green?

I’m always intrigued by trees that grow in odd angles. Wonder what turned that one?

we wonder if the tree was a signal tree for the Indians that lived in the area.

Lovely to start the week with this soothing walk on the towpath. Unrelated: I admire your pottery business. So unusual for Americans to think of craft as a way to make a living. You may, of course, be far ahead of the curve as we need to rely on new ways to lead our lives.

I love to find things that indicate where someone once lived. That’s cool! Thanks for sharing.
