Withrow Nautre Preserve

This morning Emmy asked if we could do something fun for day-after-her-birthday-day. Sure why not, Mark was off and we had Grace. We decided that we needed to hurry to Withrow Nature Preserve because they were calling for thunderstorms starting in the afternoon. So we had two hours to get in as much hiking as we could. I have decided that it is a lot more fun to walk now that before,.. We can actually name some of the plants that we see. Mark is a lot better than I am. And if he doesn't know the names he just makes them up...and they sound reasonable most of the time. So come take our hike with us...and see what we saw.
