Rare Treat

Our schedules have been hectic this week. It happens occasionally and when it does, it tends to throw us off our routine. One casualty this week has been our daily walks.
So this morning, we got up a few minutes earlier and hit the trail. It's been cool this week, but the days are warming, but this morning it was excellent walking weather.
The Goldenrod and sumac along the path was to gorgeous to pass up so I snapped a photo with my trusty iPhone. I made it black and white so that you could color it with your imagination.
We had appointments in town, after lunch so while Jilda did her thing, I finished up my column sitting in Starbucks sipping a Mocca Latte.
Later, Jilda perusing the local gift shop getting an idea on what to charge for the hand-painted Christmas cards she's designing, while I lugged books to stores in the mall.
On the way home, we stopped at Jacks, which is a local hamburger chain, and ordered double scoops of ice cream in cones. She had strawberry and I had cookies and cream. It's a rare treat, but I can tell you it hit the spot.
