Here's a view from a bench in Old Town Center - I mentioned posting this a couple days ago.
This is the bell tower I was also talking about. I try to time things so I'm nearby when it rings noon or six. We can hear it from our house, but it's fun actually see the bells go (deafening, but fun). I have no idea what one does to actually play a carillon. Will have to look that up.
There are several trails of various lengths that start at the (completely landlocked!?) old stone boathouse. I poked around in the woods for a while, and though you're really not that far from civilization, it feels like a gentle sort of forest wilderness. The trails are mostly in a valley, while the roads and houses are up above, so the noise of cars and such doesn't make its way in.
In other news, this is the favorite thing I have on my desk. J made it a while ago, and I can't stop inspecting it. So many little things to see. You must click the photo to make it big enough to get a good look.

Wait a minute! How did you get J to make you that? Now I'm envious! I want...er..I mean... Mini M. and W. want one too!
Those running-walking errand photos are simply LOVELY. It's 15F here with light snow and I'm in the mood for a warm stroll through your neighbourhood, preferably with you.
..And then back to your place to oogle the cute cat(?) drawing thingy. I think my current favourite is green bikini cat, or perhaps green bikini top with green sarong cat. What fun!
Is is coloured with paint on canvas? Or perhaps marker on some other cloth? I'm intrigued and impressed.
Em, she sent it for my birthday! I'd been bugging her for one forever. Nyah! I'm lucky! :)
Woman North - I really wish we could go for a stroll. I can't wait to see you at Christmas! I'd LOVE to see your neck of the woods someday too. (or neck of the hemisphere?) The cat conglomeration is a my sister J original, and it's a little painting on canvas three inches square.
