I told you about the Tale of Two Hikes almost exactly one year ago. We did a very similar combination again just a few weeks ago — our Friday nature study outing with the kids, as usual, and then a hike with just moms the next morning.
First, Friday: a beautiful day at the county park! Sunny, cold, plenty of fall finds. The place is starting to get green again, a fuzzy layer of new growth covering all the fields.

Saturday: a few of us moms did a loop up into the foothills. It was foggier than it has been since last winter. The clouds completely filled in the valley like water. Stunning.
Halfway up we came upon a cheery grove of toyon bushes. Felt like Christmastime!
The fog cleared on our way back down and home.
See how green? Just a month ago, that was ALL brown and dry. December is lovely.
