And the slugs were out

The temperature dipped

The clouds rolled in

The rain came

The mist clung low to the mountains

And the slugs were out

The leaves turned and fell

Covering the paths

And sidewalks

And lawns

And the slugs were out

The smell of decay

The shortening of the day

The slowing of life

Preparing for a winter’s slumber

And the slugs were out

Changes at Tollgate

I haven’t been walking as much the past couple months and so of course things have been changing at the park. The big change is the bulldozing of the field. For what purpose I have no idea.

Can you see the snake above?

Here’s the view from the top of the new connecting trail from Tollgate to The Snoqualmie Trail.

And tomorrow is our last day before leaving for Vietnam and Japan!
