Plainfield Village for Variety

Yesterday 15,  close to a record came out to walk a different route.  We elected to walk on mostly paved roads.  There were fewer dogs in tow but it didn't matter as a touch of Spring was in the air.

It warmed up today finally!

The route started at the Plainfield library,  went down Daniels road. Then to Mill Village. Spencer rd and then back to the village via Westgate Rd with a detour  down Hayward.

Paved roads are best in mud season and the trails are either muck or ice.

Mud Season Stroll

Today there were 14 of us and 6 dogs.  We walked on Platt Rd from the covered bridge.  An easy walk for us.  What a difference a week makes?  The dirt roads are muddy and not fun to walk on so we walked on a paved road.  Then we went to Annie's for coffee and lots of laughter.

Not many with hats and gloves and no one freezing.  Nice to see the strong sun too!  Snow is melting fast and we are ready to see it go.

It is officially Spring!!!
