Woke up this morning, did a little more paperwork for my mom’s eldercare, and then took myself on a long (2 hr) walk. I knew I’d spend most of today in an airport / on a plane, and I wanted to get some exercise — plus, it was a beautiful early autumn day, and walks in the wood are soothing to the soul.
Sadly, I think the pretty flower in the first two photos is probably invasive Japanese knotweed.
